Does everyone have to eat the same meal?

Your menu will be pre-determined and guests will be expected to all enjoy the same courses together. We are happy to accommodate dietary needs and offer two protein options for the main course.

Do I need to pay a deposit?
Yes, a 50% deposit is due to hold your date, as well as a signed contract we will provide. A credit card will also be required to have on file for unpaid bar tabs or incidentals, if applicable.

How do I make my deposit?
Your deposit will be calculated at the time your menu is decided upon. At that time, it can be made via e-transfer to danielle@anemonedining.com, no password required. We also accept payment via credit card (for a small fee).

Are deposits refundable or transferable?
No, a deposit is used to hold the date for you and your group, once you have finalized a date changes may not be made to your date.

Can I make changes to the sample menu provided?
Of course! The menu above is merely a sample of what we offer! We can work together to make it work for you, or we can curate a menu specific for your event (additional fees may apply for custom menus). We are also happy to offer signature cocktails and custom bar menus for your next special event.

Off-Site Catering

How long will you be on site?
Typically we arrive 1 - 1.5 hours in advance of your event. Dependent on the number of courses, the meal can last 1 - 2 hours. Usually we depart approximately 30 minutes after the final course.

Do you bring all of your own tools?
Yes! We use induction cookware, and we will bring almost all of what we need to prepare your meals, and anything we do not bring is typical to any family kitchen.

Do you bring dishes and cutlery?
No, place settings and cutlery are the responsibility of the client. If everything doesn’t match, that is perfectly fine. Rentals are also available if desired.

Do you provide the ingredients?
Of course! All ingredients are included in the menu pricing.

Do you clean the kitchen afterwards?
Absolutely! We do a thorough cleaning, and leave your kitchen as clean, or cleaner than when we arrived.

Our Space

How many people does the Anemone space accommodate?

1. Standing, cocktail functions up to 40 guests
2. Seated dinners, at one long table up to 14 guests
3. Three separate tables, including our banquette seating, up to 18 guests

Please inquire for larger group sizes where a courtyard booking, or use of Alexander Keith's Brewery space may be applicable. Please note this is based on availability and additional charges will apply.

What does an event or dinner at Anemone cost?
Our prices are based on your needs. You can expect to pay a booking fee ranging from $100.00-$500.00, a per person menu cost based on your menu selections, drinks are charged based on consumption, and an 18% gratuity, as well as HST will be applied to your final bill. In some cases a bar or service fee may also apply, and rentals required for larger functions are additional.

What time should we arrive?
You can arrive as early as 6pm (unless otherwise discussed), and last call is at 11pm, closing at 12am. You will have the space entirely to you and your group for the duration of the evening!

Do I have to use the bar services? If I do choose to have a bar do I have to serve cocktails?
No! We are happy to provide our food menu without the use of the bar, and have a large selection of non-alcoholic beverages available. If using our bar services you will have the option of cocktails, beer, wine, cider and mixed drinks; you can choose from any or all of the above, whatever best suits your event.

Can I bring my own wine?
Yes! We charge a $25.00/per bottle corkage fee for wine.

Where are you located in the Keith's Brewery?
Using the big red door on Lower Water Street, we are the first business on the left! We’ve also provided a map on our contact page!

Can I use more than one of your services for my event?
Of course! We are happy to provide a mixture of standing, and sitting courses, cocktail hours and grazing. Whatever works best for your event, we will work to accommodate!

Can I have my wedding ceremony in your space?
Yes! We are happy to host micro ceremonies in the Anemone space or work with you to book courtyard space if needed. We are proud to offer a space that can accommodate your ceremony, cocktail hour, photos, reception and a little dancing, all under one roof! You can choose to use us for any or all of these services, and what best suits your big day! Additional charges will apply to your booking fee when booking weddings.

Do you have a projector for corporate functions?
No, we do not. We are a food and drink focused experience and while we are more than happy to accommodate corporate meetings, we do not offer sound systems or projectors.
