FAQs

What’s the difference between food stations and traditional buffet?

At a traditional buffet guests serve themselves from preselected dishes. Food stations are a unique themed dining experience that feels more personable. With our options for street tacos, local fare, Chinese takeout, and more, stations are interactive and a memorable dining experience.

Do you accommodate for food allergies and diet needs?

Yes! We gladly customize our menu to accommodate all allergy and dietary needs! Whether it’s making sure to have one more plated option or a custom menu for all, we’re here to make sure your event can be enjoyed by everyone!

Do you have a liquor license?

We do! We are fully licensed to serve throughout Missouri. We have local partners, hand crafted signature drinks and mocktails.

How much of the event can your team manage?

Our team can assist you with all rental needs. We have a long list of vendors and we have a full team to meet additional planning needs.

Do you offer tastings?

For those who have booked events with us, we offer two tasting options. Private tastings for selected dinner menus. For stations and buffets we invite you to a group tasting in order to get a taste of our most popular buffet and stations.
