It depends. We can often accommodate larger groups if we know about them well ahead of time. This is subject to availability. We would also kindly remind our guests that this is a classroom, and that accommodating their group needs to work with classroom learning objectives and/or the capabilities of the class.
Your schedule online said that you were open, but when I arrived the Grille was closed? Why did this happen?
This can happen due to instructor illness, or when it is decided that the class needs supplemental learning opportunities. We understand that this is frustrating when it happens and do our best to announce unforeseen closures on our Facebook page. We appreciate your willingness to participate in our classroom with us.
