Bringing a small or large group to the CIA for a culinary adventure is as easy as one, two, three.
1. Choose a date to celebrate
2. Invite your friends, colleagues, or association members
3. Decide on your favorite cuisine
Large Groups
We love sharing food with people. If your group has between 12 and 100 people, we have delicious three- or four-course banquet menus available for your dining pleasure. Let our team walk you through the options. We can even make reservations up to six months in advance!
Small Gatherings
Celebrate benchmark birthdays, recent retirements, or much-deserved promotions. The beautifully appointed Chairman’s Room is available to small groups of up to 16 people for lunch and dinner. The à la carte dining off of the restaurant’s menu brings you maximum flexibility and enjoyment to your occasion. You can book your event up to three months in advance by calling the reservations office at 845-471-6608!
Take Over Our Restaurants!
Thinking of having a gathering large enough to take over our restaurants entirely? Let our staff help you make a lasting impression on colleagues, association members, family, or friends while you share a great meal. Advance planning necessary.
