FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. How large of a party can you accommodate?

We have two options for large groups because all of our tables are stationary.


Option one, the garden room:
seats up to 24 people comfortably,
but maxes out at 27 people.

These are three separate long tables of eight with two burners each, all a little higher than standard table height. The tables require a tall straight back chair with a padded seat. We would not recommend this setting if a wheel chair or high chair is needed. Another amenity to this room is a “nook table for two.”

Option two, the main dining room:
seats up to 44 people, with a mixed configuration.

The largest table we can seat is eight with two burners or two tables next to each other for a group of ten providing three burners for the group. All of the other tables are separate throughout the dining room. We also offer a few private tables for a more intimate setting.



2. Are there alternative menu options for large parties?

We do recommend a “set-menu” for larger parties that we can help create with your input ahead of time. This would usually include the entrees for four with a nice assortment, which everyone can share.

3. Does The Little Dipper offer separate checks?

Yes, please let your server know who belongs together and we will provide separate checks.

4. Do you have any outdoor seating?

Yes, we have a beautiful back deck with a special deck menu and cool drinks for parties of any size. The deck is also a great place for large groups to begin an event with cheese fondue and cocktails or a great ending with the chocolate fondue fountain under the stars.

5. Does the Little Dipper offer gift certificates?

Yes, we do offer gift certificates. We currently don't sale gift cards online, however we can take orders over the phone with a credit card and mail them anywhere for just $1. Give us a call at 910.251.0433.

We encourage reservations for parties of any size.
