FAQS
Food & Beverage Menus
A pre-selected group dining menu is required for any group larger than 15 guests. A menu must be selected when the contract is signed, but edits can be made up until 2 weeks prior to your event. We are happy to customize your menu, but pricing is subject to change. Beverage packages are optional, you may choose to run a tab and have drinks added to your bill as they are ordered.
Guest Count
The guest count listed on your initial contract is an estimate. The final guest count is due 48 hours prior to the event. If no guarantee is received, the guest count on the most up to date contract will be used. Once the guarantee is given, it cannot be reduced. You will be charged for the guaranteed guest count or the actual number of guests that attend the event, whichever number is greater. While Spice Finch will make every effort to accommodate additional guests, however, this is based on availability. For a smooth execution of the event, we ask that the guaranteed guest counts be as accurate as possible.
Decor & Set-up
You may access the space 45 minutes prior to your event start time. Please keep in mind that your service staff may be putting final touches on the room around you. All decor must be limited to the table-top and must be approved by the restaurant in advance. Nothing can be affixed to walls, and no confetti is allowed.
Food Restrictions
Please be sure all guests attending this event communicate all food allergies and food restrictions prior to confirming the menu. The kitchen will do their best to accommodate dietary restrictions and reserves the right to offer substituted or modified menu items for those guests individually.
Deposit
A 50% non-refundable deposit of estimated grand totals and a signed contract are required to confirm an event. Please note that space in the restaurant will not be reserved until this is received. The deposit will be charged at the time of signing and will be applied to the final event balance.
Cancellation Policy
Spice Finch requires notice of cancellation 14 business days prior to the event date. For cancellations within 14 business days of the event or upon failure to attend the reservation, the room revenue minimum or the per person menu price for the guaranteed guest count, including tax, service and special event fees will be charged to the card on file.
Final Payment
All food, beverage, additional charges, taxes, gratuity and special events fees on the agreed upon contract will be added to one master check presented to the host at the end of the evening. Any additional charges that occur that evening (additional guests above the guaranteed amount, beverages on consumption, etc.) will be added to the final check. If payment is not remitted at the end of the evening, the card on file will be charged. Please note that the restaurant cannot accommodate a request for separate checks for groups of this size.
Cake Cutting Fee
Spice Finch does not provide custom cakes, however you are welcome to bring one from an outside vendor. The cake cutting fee is waived for all contracted events
