FAQs
How do I book the space?
To book the space, simply fill out our Booking Form and we’ll be in touch shortly. If you have a specific date in mind, we can place a soft hold on it. Should another inquiry come in for the same date, we’ll contact you first to confirm. A 50% deposit is required to secure your booking. Once the deposit is received, your reservation is confirmed.
How much does it cost to rent the space?
Our rates are tiered based on booking type, guest count, and timing. Weekday day rates (Mon–Fri, 9am–5pm) are the lowest, weekday evenings (Mon–Thurs) fall in the mid tier, and Friday evenings, weekends, and holidays are our highest tier. If you’d like an estimate, please fill out our Booking Form and we’ll get back to you shortly.
What’s included in the rental?
The rental fee includes access to the space, all appliances, equipment, and most props and dishware. Some items reserved for internal projects may be available for a small additional fee. One on-site staff member is included with your booking, unless otherwise arranged.
What’s your cancellation or refund policy?
Once the deposit is paid, only partial refunds are available. Cancellations made more than 15 days in advance receive a 50% refund. Cancellations made 10–15 days in advance are non-refundable, but the deposit can be applied to a future booking within 2 months. Cancellations with less than 10 days' notice are non-refundable and not eligible for rebooking.
Is the space accessible?
The Conference Room on the first floor is accessible. There is a small step at the entrance, but a ramp is available for wheelchair access. A fully accessible washroom is also located on this floor. The Kitchen Studio is on the second floor and is only accessible via two flights of stairs—there is no elevator access. Please reach out to us for additional information regarding accessibility questions.
Is the kitchen suitable for commercial use or food prep?
We are not a certified commercial kitchen and therefore not suitable for large-scale food production or commercial food storage. However, our space is ideal for private events, dining experiences, content creation, food photography, and filming.
Is alcohol allowed?
We are not a licensed venue, so a Special Occasion Permit (SOP) is required for any event serving or selling alcohol. SOPs are temporary licenses issued by the AGCO and can be obtained online with advance notice for a small fee.
Is there a loading area for equipment?
A one-hour loading zone is located directly outside the building, and a small ramp is available for easy access. For larger equipment, a garage door on the first floor allows for convenient load-in. We also offer the option to load in the day before your event, pending availability and with advance notice. Please inquire about advanced load-in or deliveries when booking.
Do you provide staff for events?
One staff member is included with every booking to ensure your event runs smoothly. Additional staff can be provided for a fee with advance notice. We also work with trusted partner vendors for event rentals, and have connections to experienced chefs, catering teams, bartenders, servers, and photo/video crews. Let us know what support you need—we’re happy to help coordinate.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking 3–5 weeks in advance for weekends and 2–3 weeks for weekdays. Our busiest months are October through December and may require additional notice. That said, we often have openings and will do our best to accommodate—so don’t hesitate to reach out.
Can I book a recurring rental?
Yes, recurring rentals are welcome. Many of our clients book the space regularly for content shoots, pop-up dining events, and ongoing culinary projects. We offer preferred rates for repeat bookings, and we're happy to work with you to create a schedule that fits your needs.
