Give dietary notice a week ahead

Allow 2 to 2.5 hours. Email [email protected] about dietary restrictions at least a week before dinner; some cannot be accommodated. Ask about an alternative to beer if someone avoids alcohol or gluten. The Bar has different fees and policies, so read the terms for the room you selected.
