What is
"Family-Style" Dining?

Family-Style Dining is one of the most interactive social dining experiences. Servers deliver large platters, filled with many servings of food, to the center table, instead of single plates for individual guests. Guests serve themselves, then pass the platters along to other guest. This style is uniquely communal, mimicking traditional home and holiday meals, and creates what we call...

"a food inspired experience".
