Private Events in the Upper Beaches

Fourteen in the semi-private half room. Thirty with the whole inside. Sixty on the patio. Minimum spend, no room hire fee.

Birthdays, showers, anniversaries, retirements, reunions, cocktail parties, office parties

East-end events, at a neighbourhood room's scale

Private events in Toronto's east end, at 971 Kingston Road in the Upper Beaches, on the Kingston Road strip above the Beaches. This is a small room that rents honestly: take half of it for up to 14, take the whole inside for up to 30, or take the 60-seat patio in the summer months. You pay a minimum food and drink spend for your date and time slot — there is no room hire fee on top of it. Planning for more than 14? Start here. Eight or fewer? Book a table instead — a group dinner is a reservation, not a private event.

Up to 14

Semi-Private

One half of the restaurant for your group — up to fourteen together, in your own section of the room while the rest of the night carries on around you. The fit for birthdays, showers, anniversaries, and a long table that wants its own space.

Private

The whole inside, just your group — up to thirty. The room is yours for the booking: your people, your pace, our kitchen and bar. The fit for office parties, retirements, reunions, cocktail parties, and a buyout at a scale a small room can do properly.

Menus for a group

  • A set menu, set with you beforehand. For larger groups it is usually the better call — everyone gets fed at the same time, and you know the shape of the bill before the night. We build it from the dishes our kitchen already does well.
  • Or order off the main menu on the night. Smaller groups often prefer it. See the food menu and the drinks list for what is on.
  • Showers at brunch. A bridal or baby shower over a weekend brunch fits the semi-private space well — see weekend brunch in the Upper Beaches for the plates and hours.
  • Feeding a group somewhere else? That is catering, not an event here — see catering for packages, trays, pickup and delivery.

How booking works

  1. 1. Send the form, or call

    Date and rough numbers are enough to start. Tell us which space you have in mind, or ask us what fits.

  2. 2. We come back with what it takes to hold it

    A minimum food and drink spend for your date and time slot. There is no room hire fee on top of it — you are paying for what your guests eat and drink.

  3. 3. A deposit holds larger bookings

    On larger bookings a deposit holds the date, and it comes off the final bill. Talk to us as early as you can if plans change.

  4. 4. Tell us the details at booking, not on the night

    Allergies and dietary requirements, a bar cap, whether you need the room to yourselves — built in from the start is easier for everyone.

What hosts say

  • Families marking a birthday here have written up a warm, relaxed room and portions that left nobody hungry.
  • Groups who came for a Mother's Day table wrote up excellent food and excellent service, and said they would recommend the room to others.

Questions

How do I book?

Send the form at the bottom of this page with your date and rough numbers, or call us. We come back with what fits and what it would take to hold it.

What does it cost?

A minimum food and drink spend for your date and time slot. There is no room hire fee on top of it — you are paying for what your guests eat and drink.

Can I bring my own caterer or food?

No. Everything comes out of our kitchen. Order from the main menu on the night or we will set a menu for the group beforehand.

How many people can you take?

Sixty on the patio, thirty inside.

Can we have a set menu?

Yes, and for larger groups it is usually the better call — it gets everyone fed at the same time. Or order off the main menu if you would rather.

What about allergies and dietary requirements?

Tell us when you book rather than on the night and we will build it in. Gluten free, vegetarian and vegan are all straightforward for us.

Do you take a deposit, and what if I cancel?

A deposit holds the date on larger bookings and comes off the final bill. Talk to us as early as you can if plans change.

How far ahead should I book for December?

For December, parties of 30 or fewer usually book 4 to 6 weeks out. Earlier is easier, especially for Friday and Saturday nights — send the date you have in mind and we will tell you straight away what is open.
