2015

A Mediterranean bistro featuring pasta, flatbread, entrees and a variety of appetizers
in a charmingly rich decor reminiscent of a rustic European wine cellar .
Thank you for inquiring about hosting your event at Escoba. We understand the task of
planning a function can be daunting and hope the following information is helpful.
Escoba can be divided into three separate rooms which may be reserved privately or
in combination to suit your needs. The lounge features a bar and three flat screen
monitors which can be used to run photos, DVDs or other forms of digital media. All
three rooms have individually controlled lighting and sound systems. A collapsible 6' by
4' projection screen, projector and public address system are also available upon
request at no extra charge.
To book a room, a combination of rooms or the entire restaurant, Escoba requires a
minimum food and beverage purchase based on your particular room choice, day
and time of the week. Please contact us at 403-543-8909 to get information on your
specific preferences.
For example: if the minimum food and beverage expenditure for your desired date
and time slot is $2000 and the actual tally is $1800; the difference of $200 would then
be charged as a room charge. If the minimum purchase is met or exceeded no room
charge is applicable.
In order to secure a private room reservation for your event a $500 deposit is required
to hold the date and time. This deposit is fully refundable if formal cancellation is
received by Escoba at least 30 days prior to the event, otherwise the deposit is
forfeited. Events booked for the entire restaurant require a $1000 deposit which is nonrefundable within 90 days of the event. Your deposit will be applied to the tally at the
point of invoicing.
Consider downloading the 'Helpful Hints' file on the 'Event Information' page on our
website as another tool for planning your event. It features information on budgeting
for beverage consumption and helps mitigate the cost variables inherent in this aspect
of event planning.
We encourage you to contact us at any point in your process with questions, concerns
or requests for further information. We'd be happy to help at 403-543-8909.
