Frequently Asked Questions

What is your dress code?

Smart Casual is the style we prefer to use. It’s a loose term and we like that. Jeans are acceptable and shorts are fine to wear in the warm weather months. No hats for gentlemen indoors, please.

What’s your smoking policy?

Cigarette smoking is permitted ONLY AT THE BAR ON THE ROOF. Cigars and pipes are not welcome in any area of Eventide.

Do you rent out the rooftop patio for private parties?

Absolutely! E-mail Nick Freshman for more information.

Can I make a reservation for the roof?

Our rooftop seating is only on a walk-in basis. That being said, you can make a reservation for the main dining room and inquire about the roof’s availability when you arrive. We’ll do our best to accommodate your party in whichever dining area you prefer.

How late can I grab a bite to eat on the roof?

Since the kitchen supplying food to the roof closes at 9:30 pm nightly, that is also the time that dining stops on the roof. Food is still available until 1:00 am on the first floor.

Can I have brunch at the main bar?

Nope, sorry. Our brunch is served out of our second floor kitchen, so we only seat the second floor main dining room as well as the rooftop dining area.

“What is your corkage fee?”

Due to Virginia ABC laws, you may not bring alcoholic beverages into any Virginia restaurant. Leave your wine at home, please.

If I don’t finish a bottle of wine, can I take it with me?

Yes! Many people do not know this, but you can take any unfinished wine home with you in the state of Virginia. Additionally, we supply single-seal Wine Doggy Bags to encapsulate your bottle for the trip home, so it’s not viewed as an open container by law enforcement officials.

Is Eventide family friendly?

Most of us who work at Eventide are parents, so we understand the need for a nice place to go out to dinner with the kids. In addition, we believe in serving the youngsters the same high quality, healthful food we provide for adults. As a result, we are offering a special option for families who aren't ready for "prime time" evening dining yet, but still want a refined restaurant experience with excellent culinary options. Come in any night before 6:30 and kids age 8 and younger will get the chef's daily selection of fresh steamed vegetables, fresh fruit and tender cuts of meat at NO cost*. It is our hope that this will provide both the comfortable and exceptional family dining experience you've been looking for.

*Please note: One free "kid's plate" per adult entree ordered. They are $5 each otherwise. Please remember that this special offer is only available to tables that are seated at 6:30 or earlier.

Are you able to accommodate diners with food allergies?

Definitely. Please let your server know what allergies you have and we will take every precaution when making your meal. If you have a list of items that you cannot ingest, please print them and bring them with you to hand to your server. You can be confident that our chef will change out all cutting boards and carefully check all ingredients when preparing your meal, but remember that alerting your server of your allergies is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, even if you don’t think you’re ordering anything that could cause a reaction.
