FAQ
Q: Do we have to commit to a set menu?
A: Yes. We offer two prix fixe menu tiers for private events, with the dishes chosen by you. We’ll guide you through the seasonal options and help create a menu that is right for your group. For a more curated experience, we also offer a Chef’s Tasting Menu at $150 per person.
Q: What is a food & beverage minimum?
A: A food & beverage minimum is the amount your group commits to spending on food and drinks during the event. Everything ordered by your party counts toward the minimum. If your final food & beverage spend falls below it, the difference is charged as a room fee.
Q: How are beverage purchases handled for events?
A: We offer three beverage packages, billed by the hour with a two-hour minimum. We’ll help you choose the right package and shape the drinks around your menu and budget. We can also create custom wine selections, featured cocktails and celebratory toasts.
Q: Can I come for a site visit to check out the space?
A: Absolutely. We’re happy to arrange a visit so you can see the space in person, talk through your plans and find the setup that works best for your event.
Q: What if I have allergies or dietary restrictions?
A: We’re happy to accommodate most dietary restrictions and allergies with advance notice. Let us know when planning your menu and we’ll guide you toward dishes that work well for your group. While we take allergies seriously, our kitchen handles a wide range of ingredients and cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment.
Q: Can I bring decorations?
A: Yes. Decorations are welcome, with the exception of glitter and confetti. We just ask that you leave plenty of room on the tables for the pintxos and tapas arriving throughout the meal.
Q: Can I bring my own wine?
A: Yes. Corkage is $40 per 750ml bottle and counts toward your food & beverage minimum.
Q: What fees, gratuity and tax apply to events?
A: Food & beverage charges are subject to a 15% gratuity and an 8% event coordination charge. Sales tax is 10.75%. We’ll include all applicable charges clearly in your event proposal so you can see the full estimated cost before booking.
Q: How long will I have the event space?
A: Private events include three hours in the space. If you think you’ll need more time, let us know while we’re planning your event and we’ll talk through the options. Additional staffing charges may apply for extended events.
Q: Do you offer parking?
A: Yes. Validated parking is available directly across the street at 501 Santa Monica Blvd., with entry on 5th Street. The validated rate is $8 for up to three hours.
Q: What is the volume level? Can I play my own music?
A: Our private mezzanines have their own volume control, but remain acoustically connected to the restaurant below. For full buyouts, the soundtrack can be entirely yours — bring a playlist or a DJ and make the night your own.
