Create Atelier
Private dining at The Atelier
No other tables. No shared dining room. Just your guests, an open kitchen, and a menu our chefs designed around your evening. Everything finished and plated in front of the room. That's not a catering experience. That's a private restaurant.

A working canvas
This Isn't a Rental Space. It's a Private Restaurant with An Amaro Library.
Most event spaces are blank rooms waiting to be filled. The Atelier is something else entirely. Guests expect a warehouse. They find something intimate and considered, with a point of view. The kitchen isn't hidden behind a door. It's the center of the room. Our chefs build the evening around the season, the occasion, and the people you're bringing together, then finish and plate every course in front of you.
You're welcome to guide it. But the most memorable evenings are the ones where the creative direction is left to them.
The Atelier is also home to one of the most distinctive (and growing) Amaro collections in the country, housed in its own dedicated library. Curated by our sommelier, it's available for guided tastings and private pours as part of your evening.
The room seats up to 70 for a seated dinner and 100 for cocktails. When the season allows, the covered patio opens the evening to the outdoors.

Held a private retirement dinner at Create and it was perfect. The space was just right and the food and service were, as always,, outstanding. And they are so easy to work with on the planning.

The personalized approach that Philip and his team takes is bar none. The private setting is perfect. The food — I think my guests would have cracked the plates & licked them clean if they could have.

Create is the total package. Professional chefs and staff who can accommodate every guest need, and this space is perfect for sit-down dinners, social functions, or any combination of the two.
