We proudly offer a variety of private dining options accommodating parties ranging in size from as few as 10 guests in the Oak Room, Tea Room or Study, and 24 up to 60 guests in the charming decor of the Wine Cellar, Porch and Living Room. The new expanded brownstone offers two distinct spaces including the Parlor for up to 26 seats space with private 12 seat bar. Downstairs the Solarium seats up to 44 in a whimsical intimate setting. Combine both floors for an event up to 70 seated guests.

Our chefs have designed seasonal menus for brunch, lunch and dinner including a variety of menu items and selections inspired from our restaurant menus. Each event is personally planned and orchestrated by our dedicated event concierges and professional staff. White Dog Cafe will leave a lasting impression on you and your guests for a memorable event.
