A. A La Carte Dining

A la carte selections are available for luncheon and dinner service for parties of twelve or less. Any event with participants exceeding these set limits requires a menu planned with our staff two weeks in advance. The guaranteed number of participants is required 24 hours before the start of your function.

B. Buffet Service

For special occasions, buffet service is available for groups of 30 or more. Planning for buffets is required and menus should be completed as far in advance as possible.

The menus presented are our most popular items. If you so desire, we would be delighted to create custom tailored menus for your event.

D. Prices

E. Guaranteed

We ask that a final guaranteed number be given to the Director of Sales' office 24 hours prior to the start of our function. This guaranteed number will note subject to reduction. All charges will be based on this guaranteed number or the actual number of guest served, if greater. For your convenience, we will be prepared to serve 5% over the guaranteed number. If no final guarantee is received, we will consider the estimated number indicated on the original arrangement form to be the guaranteed number of guests. Should your attendance rise above 5%, RiverHouse cannot guarantee the menu selections for additional guests.

F. Deposits Required and Refund of Deposits

A deposit equal to the room rental rate is required on all group functions booked unless credit has been established with RiverHouse. Any function cancelled 15 days or less prior to functions will be charged for the room.
