How are the menus created for private dining functions?

Sample season menus are available on request.

For any function when the entire restaurant is booked, the chef and the sommelier, will meet with you to design a menu which meets your specific needs.
If my guest count increases or decreases on the day of the private booking, how will you be billed?
