Buyouts, half-rooms, and the patio.

How many people fit?

Full restaurant buyouts seat 56 for plated service or 80 for standing receptions. The back patio (May–Oct) seats 20 separately. Half-room buyouts are available Wednesdays and seat up to 30.

What does it cost?

Food & beverage minimums range from $4,800 (half-room, Wednesday) to $14,000 (full buyout, Friday or Saturday). Family-style and four-course tasting menus are priced per guest from $85–$140 before beverage.

Can we bring our own wine?

Corkage is $35 per bottle, with a two-bottle cap per table for regular service. For private events we can negotiate corkage in advance. Daniel is usually open to a small allocation for sentimental bottles.

Do you handle dietary restrictions for groups?

Yes. Vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, dairy-free, shellfish-free. Send us your guest list with notes a week in advance and Mira will build alternate plates that hit the table at the same time as the rest of the course.

How far in advance should we book?

For full buyouts we recommend 8–12 weeks. Half-room and patio bookings can usually be confirmed 3–6 weeks out. The fall calendar fills first. September and October book up by July most years.

Who do we contact?

Email events@verdura.example with your date, headcount, and a sentence or two about the occasion. Lena, our events manager, replies within two business days and usually has a hold offer attached.
