On rare and cherished occasions, one finds themselves presented with the golden opportunity to embrace a touch of opulence and refinement. However, it is prudent to bear in mind that, despite the allure of red-carpet fashion, certain attire may not align with our esteemed evening formal dress code.

Let your visit to our distinguished establishment be an occasion to experiment with sartorial panache, employing tasteful embellishments such as chic accessories and pocket squares. In moments of uncertainty, erring on the side of overdressing is advised, with the caveat that adherence to our dress code need not come at an extravagant cost, nor does extravagance necessarily guarantee alignment with our evening formal attire guidelines. Regardless of gender expression, we kindly ask that you adhere to the guidelines below when selecting your choice of formal attire.

For those who require special ADA or medical exemptions, please direct your concerns to our Guest Services Manager.
