In their words

Glad we chose to trust RoosterTail for our class graduation dinner/party. The space itself was designed perfectly for our group size.

I've never worked with a staff that was so in sync. Old-school hospitality is still alive at The Roostertail!

Good to know

How much does a graduation party cost?

Special-event packages run $69, $75, $91 and $99 a person. Each covers a 4-hour event, 3.5 hours of beverage service and cake cutting. Packages 1 and 3 are stationed hot appetizers, 2 and 4 are a plated or buffet dinner, and Packages 3 and 4 include an open bar. Sales tax of 6 percent, a 24 percent gratuity and the room rental are added to the per-person price.

How big or small can the party be?

The Club suits a family dinner of up to 55. The Marine Room holds 300 and the Palm River Room 800, for a whole class.

Do you do the catering, or do we bring a caterer?

We do it. The Roostertail has its own executive chef and its own bar program, and everything served here comes out of our kitchen. One team runs the food, the bar and the room.

Where is The Roostertail, and is there parking?

100 Marquette Drive, Detroit, on the east riverfront beside the marina, just west of the bridge to Belle Isle and a short drive from downtown along Jefferson Avenue. Parking is free, in our own private lot on site.

How late can an event run?

The latest end time is 11 PM. Going to midnight is possible for an added charge.
