Complimentary Parking is Available at the Scottish Rite Center less than one block from the Lake Merrit Hotel. Located on the left side of Madison Street!!
The New Year Gala doors open at 7:00,
and you will be able to place your dinner order when all the guests at your table have arrived orders taken between 7:00 and 9:00
If you have reserved a ticket for "cocktails and dancing" without dinner you may come at any time. It is not a dinner followed by dancing...it is like a Supperclub of the 1930s-1940s with continuous music, entertainment, dancing and dining. Some people choose to eat right away, others like to cocktail and socialize before sitting down at their table and those who are not ordering dinner can come at any time. The Mood Swing Orchestra begins after 7:30.
DINNER RESERVATIONS ARE (mostly) SOLD OUT at this time, but definitely call or email to be put on a waiting list. There are so often cancelations and changes so it really is a good idea to be on that list.
Please know that everyone sitting at a reserved table must pay for and have the full dinner. We hope you can understand that no one can be seated without having dinner, and no, sorry but you cannot "just have a salad" or "just split a dinner" with a friend or date. Our arrangement with the hotel guarantees that every seat represents a fully paid dining guest. And the dinner will be wonderful !
If you must cancel, tickets and dinners are refundable until January 2. After that date, tickets are refundable but dinners are refundable only if we have someone on the wait list ready to take your place. But that means actually "taking your place" and sitting at the same table...so if you are part of a group of , say, six people and you cannot attend, your "replacement" would actually be seated with your friends at their table... so best to check with your table mates first!
Cancellations made less than 48 hours before the event can not be refunded.
