Additional Informational and FAQ's
COVID-19 Safety Protocols
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts will lift all COVID-19 restrictions beginning May 29, a month before our event. The comfort of our guests and other restaurant patrons is of the utmost importance, and therefore we will still be adhering to some safety protocols. Such measures include:
-
Event activities will occur outdoors under a tent (rain or shine)
-
Tables sizes will be capped at 6 guests
-
We will not seat unrelated households at the same table unless requested
-
Guests should be prepared to put on a mask any time they need to be inside the restaurant (restrooms, etc.)
-
Total event capacity is currently limited to 75 guests
We will notify guests of any changes to state guidelines or restaurant policies that may affect the format of this event.
Seating Arrangements at Dinner
We are pleased to offer a variety of seating options. When you complete your registration, you will be asked if you and your guest(s) would prefer to be seated privately at your own table or with other event attendees outside your party. Table sizes are flexible and can accommodate between 2 - 6 guests.
Dinner and Beverage Provisions
We've named this event Falstaff's FEAST for a reason! The evening will begin with Cocktail Hour, where guests will enjoy complimentary drinks and delicious hors d'oeuvres. Once seated, guests will order from a specially curated three-course, prix fixe dinner menu. Wine and non-alcoholic drinks are included with the price of your ticket, and a cash bar will be available if you wish to order anything else.
