Good food, good wine and time together
Some occasions don’t need a large function space. They simply call for a welcoming room, a beautiful meal and enough time to enjoy the company.
The Front Dining Room is ideal for smaller groups wanting the full La Maison dining experience, whether you’re celebrating a birthday, gathering the family or bringing clients together over lunch or dinner.
Choose your event style...
A long lunch
Settle in for a relaxed afternoon with shared entrées, seasonal dishes and something good in your glass.
It’s an easy option for birthdays, baby showers, family gatherings and end-of-year celebrations.
A special dinner
Bring up to 30 guests together for a two or three-course dining experience. Choose individual service or alternate-drop options to suit your event.
A business lunch or team dinner
Take the meeting out of the office and continue the conversation over good food. The Front Dining Room works well for client lunches, team dinners and smaller corporate gatherings.
