Private PLATES, Paper PLATES, and Platters!



      Private parties can be accommodated in the dining room or bar and Chef Karp and his team can design a menu to reflect your noteworthy occasion. Private lunches and brunches at Plates are particularly special, with the park view from the bay windows adding a serene and woodsy overlay. There is a well equipped playground just steps from the side door which can keep little ones busy while toasts and roasts are being made.

      Or, if you simply want it to go, it will be ready for you to pick up. Just call us ahead or e-mail the catering manager and let her know your needs. She can advise you what travels well and even suggest some beverage options.
