Do you accept large party (10+) reservations for weekend brunch during the Holiday Season?

During the busy holiday season, November 1 – December 31, 2024, Winnie & Ethel’s requires reservations and a deposit for all parties of 10 or more.  Complete this simple form to submit your large party booking request.

While we strive to accommodate all reservations, we cannot guarantee availability for same-day or next-day bookings on weekends and encourage large parties to book well in advance of their desired weekend brunch date.

Regrettably, we may be unable to accommodate walk-in groups of 10 or more, even if tables are open or if the party is willing to join our waiting list. Unexpected large groups during weekend brunch can cause delays in the kitchen, impacting food delivery times for other guests.  Walk-in parties may be seated or added to our waitlist at the discretion of the staff on a case-by-case basis.

A service charge of 22.5% will be applied to groups of 8 or more.
