We recommend booking large parties and semi-private dining at least one week in advance; however, for parties of up to six guests, we may be able to accommodate for a day-of request.

Full restaurant buy-outs require at least a two week notice for a standard package, and four weeks for customized events. 

Please note this is also subject to the size of the party, and which day of the week is requested or preferred. 

The Aperture is with ADA requirements.  Our double doors at the main entrance have a beveled threshold, and there are no steps within the restaurant.  There are built-in slopes in our main entrance and hallway to the restrooms.  Our restrooms are wheelchair accessible with grab rails.

A 20% nonrefundable deposit is required upon booking for all private dining experiences to be applied toward the final bill. For parties of 8 or more there is a 20% gratuity to be added to the final bill. With all events there is a 3% service fee that will be added to the final bill.

A paid parking lot is available behind our build - Paramount Square - just a short walk from The Aperture’s front doors.  Street parking is also available on Gilbert Ave. and E. McMillan.  Our Director of Private Events, Jack Kirr, will send a graphic of the parking area to the event point of contact.  We also are able to include guest parking into your private event package upon request. 

Our reservations for private, semi-private, and buy-out events do include a set timeline for the duration of the event.

Large Parties: 2.5 Hours

Semi-Private Dining: 3 Hours

Buyouts 4 hours

We always want to ensure the comfort and safety of our guests, and are able to accommodate a variety of allergies and dietary restrictions.  However, we do require advance notice for any necessary accommodations within your party in order to ensure that the menu is prepared or modified as needed. Upon booking your event, please inform us of any dietary or allergy concerns so that we can plan accordingly.
