EVENT FAQ

What size groups can you accommodate?

Reserved spaces are available for groups of up to 300 guests, while full venue buyouts can accommodate up to 600 guests.

Is there a rental fee?

No. We do not charge a rental fee. Instead, reserved spaces are booked based on a food & beverage minimum.

What is a food & beverage minimum?

A food & beverage minimum is the minimum amount your group agrees to spend on food and beverages during your event. Rather than charging a rental fee for the space, we reserve event areas based on this minimum spend.

Food & beverage minimums vary depending on the day of the week and the length of your event.

What happens if it rains?

We are a fully outdoor, seasonal venue, so all events are weather dependent.

If severe weather is expected, our team will work with you to determine the best course of action based on the forecast and the timing of your event.

What food options are available for events?

We offer a variety of large-format food options that are perfect for sharing, with selections that can be enjoyed by seafood lovers and non-seafood lovers alike.

For smaller gatherings, guests also have the option to order from our regular menu à la carte.

Do you offer beverage packages?

We do not offer traditional beverage packages.

Instead, we offer flexible options such as hosted tabs and drink tickets, allowing you to choose the beverage experience that best fits your event.

Can I set up a tab for a group without booking an event?

Absolutely! If you don't need reserved space, you're welcome to set up a hosted tab for your group and enjoy the restaurant like any other guests.

Just send us an email at rawbarseaport@islandcreekoysters.com, and we'll get you squared away. Please keep in mind that our tables operate on a first come, first served basis, so while we'll be happy to set up a tab for your group, seating cannot be reserved.
