Private Events

We are the perfect venue for a variety of events including weddings, corporate outings, fundraisers, family reunions, baby showers, and more. Our knowledgeable and friendly staff are here to help you from start to finish, set-up to clean-up, including choosing your ideal menu. Always delicious, and always freshly prepared.

The new normal has given us the opportunity to create one of a kind, intimate dining experiences. Small-group, outdoor seating, within the wild. Let us help you create a memorable experience to celebrate graduations, anniversaries, birthdays, engagements and more.

When booking your "Within the Wild" Dining experience please know that this type of experience has many variables to keep in mind. Some animals may be less active at dusk and even sleeping, while others could be loud and playful. Because you are dining outdoors, please keep in mind environmental variables like weather, temperature, shifts in sunset times and mosquitos. Your Sales Manager will work with you to minimize any concerns.
