Seasonal Garden Patio
During warmer months, our riverside garden patio provides a lush, open-air option that’s perfect for toasts under the stars or quiet daytime celebrations. Floral décor, fire features, and riverside views set the scene beautifully.
Chef-Curated Menus to Suit the Moment
Our culinary team works closely with each host to create the perfect menu for your occasion.
