WHAT TO KNOW about DINING OUT WITH RIVERTOWN SOCIAL
• CHECK, PLEASE. If you are new to dining out with Rivertown Social please note that the check approach is as follows: whatever you order, is totaled and then you add 30% to account for a) tax and b) tip.
• SEPARATE CHECKS. Will confirm in comments below once I’ve found out if this will be offered by the restaurant. Otherwise you will need to bring cash if they don't.
• RSVP 'EXTRAVAGANZA'. As the group size is limited to 6 - as this enables the optimal experience for everyone, it is important to keep your RSVP status updated.
• If you are on the RSVP "yes" list and your plans change please update your status as soon as possible.
• If you are on the waitlist be on the lookout for a notification if a spot opens up - many times this occurs in the lead up to the event.
• If you are on the waitlist and you know in advance, for example say 2 days out your schedule will not be free to join for dinner, please move your RSVP to "no". In this way the next person in line can have the opportunity to join.
• I have this set up as an automatic waitlist, to mean as RSVPs change, and a space opens up, the next in sequence of RSVPing will be added into the event.
• I will post several reminders in the lead up to the event. Only these are all small businesses and a loss of a diner, is a loss in revenue so am mindful of this. Moreover, the restaurants I have chosen to date do not request a credit card guarantee so ever more the importance of keeping RSVPs updated. Thanks in advance for following the above!• MENU. Please review the menu to know about their menu direction (link above)
• PARKING. There is a range street parking in the area. Please review parking rules and any payments required.
Hope to see you there!
