I’ve booked a Terrace table and am worried about the weather. What can I do?

In the event of bad weather, if you’ve booked a table on the Terrace in advance, we’ll do our best to move you into the main dining room as soon as there is availability.

Several Terrace tables are covered by an awning, offering protection from light to moderate rain. We allocate these sheltered tables to long-table dinner guests on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you're concerned about the weather, we recommend contacting us as early as possible to request a move to the main dining room. The sooner you reach out, the more likely we’ll be able to accommodate your request — though please note it is subject to availability, and we tend to book out quickly.

As weather is beyond our control, we’re unable to offer refunds or compensation for weather-related issues.

What is the cancellation window for long table dinner bookings?

For long table dinner bookings, you may alter or cancel your booking up to 48 hours before your arrival. Should you cancel your booking within 48 hours of the arrival time, reduce the guest count, or fail to show, a $93.50 cancellation charge will apply per person. See our booking policy for more information.

Please email us at hello@theecadarlinghurst.com to make changes to your long table dinner — we’ll be here to help.

Can you accommodate for allergies and dietary requirements?

Absolutely! We offer plenty of gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian options across both our brunch and dinner menus, and many dishes can be adjusted to suit your needs — just ask our team for advice.

If you're dining on the banquet menu, please let us know about any allergies or dietary requirements within your group at least 48 hours before your booking, so our kitchen can prepare accordingly.

For small groups with multiple dietary requirements, we kindly ask that you order from the à la carte menu instead of the banquet. Our team will be more than happy to assist with recommendations.

I’ve booked a table for dinner. Can I bring my own decorations?

As we offer a curated styling experience in collaboration with 712Museum, we do not allow guests to bring their own decorations or floral arrangements. The only exception is name place cards, as we do not provide these.

Can I dine on the a la carte menu?

On Saturdays, groups of 8 or more must dine on our banquet menu – and on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, it is groups of 10 or more.

Groups smaller than the above are welcome to dine on the à la carte menu.

Please note, if you’d like to opt for our Tablescape Curation or Designed Menu service, you must dine on the banquet menu.

Until when can I increase my guest count?

You can increase your guest count at any time, provided we still have capacity. To ensure availability, we recommend reaching out by email as early as possible—before we’re fully booked.

Can I make tentative bookings?

Your booking is not confirmed until you secure your table and pay the required deposit through our booking widget.

Due to the number of long table booking enquiries we receive, we cannot place a hold on any tentative dates.

What is the seating time limit?

For all long table dinner bookings, please note that all groups will have a strictly limited booking time of 2.5 hours. This time limit is fixed and will apply regardless of any late arrivals.

Can I set up a prepayment or a bar tab?

For large groups, pre-payment for long table dinners can be arranged. To do this, please email us at hello@theecadarlinghurst.com. This option allows for guests to pre-pay for the whole table, or individually for their banquet, wine package, and more.

Bar tabs can be set up. Just let us know your limit in advance and our team will notify you when you’re nearly there.

How can I arrange table decorations?

Once you’ve opted in for Tablescape Curation and/or Designed Menus at the time of booking, we’ll be in touch via email to discuss your inspiration.

If you didn’t select these as add-ons when booking initially, but have changed your mind, you can email at hello@theecadarlinghurst.com to start the conversation or ask any questions!

Can we split the bill?

During brunch and lunch, we take all orders at the counter — order and pay as you please!

At dinner, guests dining from our à la carte menu are welcome to split the bill.

For groups of 10 or more (or 8+ on Saturdays), we’re unable to offer split payments on the night. If you’d like to pre-pay separately for your banquet, just email us at hello@theecadarlinghurst.com and we’ll arrange it for you.

Will there be seasonal changes to the set menu that I selected?

Our menu shifts with the seasons, and our winter banquet menu is scheduled to launch in early May. Any reservations from that date onward will be served the new winter menu instead of the current summer banquet. We'll be sharing the updated menu soon, stay tuned!

Can I bring my own alcohol?

No, we do not cater for BYO alcohol for any bookings.

Can I bring a cake to my dinner reservation?

Yes, you're welcome to bring a cake with you to your reservation! Please note that we are unable to accept cake deliveries prior to your arrival. A cakeage fee of $30 applies, which is added to your final bill.
