Questions before you book?
Private event FAQ
Start with the questions guests ask most often, then visit the complete FAQ for details about spaces, timing, menus, deposits, and buyouts.
What is the difference between private and semi-private dining?
Private dining gives your group a dedicated enclosed room. Semi-private dining reserves a defined section of the restaurant while keeping some of Scout's surrounding energy and atmosphere.
Which areas are available for partial buyouts?
Partial-buyout options depend on the date, guest count, service style, and restaurant schedule. Scout's events team will recommend the best available combination of indoor and outdoor areas for your gathering.
When are partial buyouts and cocktail receptions available?
Availability varies by day and service period. These formats are generally scheduled around Scout's regular dining service, with the widest flexibility determined by the requested date, time, and guest count.
Is there a fee just to use the space?
Most events are structured around a food-and-beverage minimum rather than a separate room-rental charge. If an agreed minimum is not reached, the difference may be charged as a rental fee. Your event proposal will confirm the exact terms.
