Make your next gathering one to remember. Our upstairs Private Banquet Room gives you and your guests the entire floor, fully private, with a dedicated server looking after your group from start to finish. It works well for birthdays, rehearsal dinners, showers, corporate meetings, and celebrations of every kind. You’ll get the same Lebanese hospitality our family has been sharing with Portland since 1987. Ready to book? Reach us at 503-512-7488 or catering@nicholasrestaurant.com.

We are primarily a walk-in restaurant and happily welcome walk-in guests! We also accept reservations for parties of 6 or more. If you know your party will have fewer than 6 guests, please do not make a reservation. Smaller parties typically experience little to no wait. We hold reservations for up to 15 minutes after the scheduled time. For parties of 17 or more, please call us directly to make your reservation. Please note that our upstairs dining area is only accessible by stairs. If anyone in your party has mobility needs, please let us know when making your reservation so we can do our best to accommodate you.

The Room at a Glance The room holds up to 40 guests, seated or standing, and comes with a dedicated private server. Events are booked in a 3-hour block anytime between 11:00 AM and 10:00 PM. Our catering menu is $35 per guest, which counts toward your food and beverage minimum. Food & Beverage Minimums Weekday events (Monday through Thursday) have a $1,500 minimum and are available year-round. Weekend events (Friday through Sunday) have a $2,800 minimum and are available June through September only. Your catering order, desserts, and drinks all count toward your minimum. If your total falls short, the host covers the difference. Your Menu Choose 2 main dishes and 3 sides from our Catering Menu, served buffet-style or family-style. Desserts can be added to your catering order. Drinks Drinks are ordered separately from your catering menu and run on a single tab paid by the host. You choose what's offered, whether that's a full bar, beer and wine only, or a set spending limit. All drinks count toward your food and beverage minimum. If you'd like to bring your own wine, there's a $20 corkage fee per bottle. All food and drinks must be enjoyed on-site, and to-go purchases such as bottles or extra food don't count toward the minimum. Bringing Your Own Dessert You're welcome to bring a cake or dessert. There are no cutting, plating, or handling fees. Service Charge A 20% service charge is added to your final food and beverage total. It covers gratuity and service for your event. Payment You'll receive one final invoice for everything, with the full balance due at the end of your event or within 24 hours. We accept cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Cancellations A credit card is required to hold your reservation. It won't be charged unless you cancel within 72 hours of your event, in which case you'll be charged your food and beverage minimum or your planned menu total, whichever is greater. Ready to book?
