The Manhattan Steakhouse
Private Dining Terms & Conditions
The Manhattan Steak House offers private dining and event accommodations in the Park Avenue Room and Carnegie Room. Private rooms are not guaranteed without a signed contract and deposit. The restaurant will place a temporary 48-hour hold on a room reservation, but if a signed contract is not received within that time frame, the hold will be released. Once a contract is signed, clients are responsible for 90% of the guaranteed guest count. Event minimums are based on either the guaranteed guest count or the required food and hosted beverage minimum, whichever is greater. All minimums are calculated before no-host cocktails, corkage fees, California sales tax, and the 20% service charge. Event rooms, menu items, pricing, and availability are all subject to change.
Breakfast, lunch, and brunch events are available in the Park Avenue Room or Carnegie Room daily from 7:00 AM until 3:30 PM with a prix-fixe menu. Monday through Saturday events require a $3,000 minimum before tax and gratuity, along with a $750 deposit. Saturday and Sunday daytime events require a $5,000 minimum before tax and gratuity, also with a $750 deposit.
Dinner private events are available Monday through Thursday\ from 5:00 PM until 9:00 PM with a prix-fixe menu and require a $1,500 minimum before tax and gratuity with a $750 deposit. Friday or Saturday evening private events require a $3,000 minimum before tax and gratuity and a $750 deposit. Sunday evening private events require a $5,000 minimum before tax and gratuity and a $750 deposit. Guests may also inquire about full or partial restaurant buyouts, including the Main Dining Room, Lounge, Park Avenue Room, and Carnegie Room.
Prior to the event, guests will receive a final estimate that includes food costs, corkage fees, and any additional taxable fees. Final billing will include those charges along with California sales tax and a 20% pre-tax gratuity. Payment is due upon presentation unless prior arrangements have been made. Additional fees are not applied toward food and beverage minimums.
Final guest counts and menu selections must be submitted one week prior to the event date. A private dining corkage fee of $20 per 750ml bottle applies to outside wine. Decorations are permitted; however, nothing may be attached to the walls. A $100 cleaning fee will be charged for confetti or similar decorations. Standard white tablecloths and black napkins are included with the event, while substitutions are available for an additional charge of $5 per tablecloth and $2 per napkin.
Projection services are available for a $100 fee and are provided without a technician. One hour of setup time is included with the reservation, while additional setup time may result in added charges. Outside food that is not prepared on the premises is prohibited unless approved in advance by management.
Cancellations must be submitted in writing with advance notice. Deposits are non-refundable and are treated as cancellation fees. An additonal $1,000 cancellation fee will be charged for events cancelled within 72 hours of the scheduled function. Cancellations made less than 24 hours prior to the event are responsible for the room minimum or the guaranteed guest count total, whichever is greater, in addition to applicable taxes and gratuity.
To secure a private dining room, guests must provide both a signed contract and a valid credit card. The restaurant accepts Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Banquet payments must be settled on the day of the event unless other arrangements have been approved in advance. Gift certificates are not valid for private dinning. Separate checks are generally unavailable in private dining rooms unless arranged ahead of time.
