How far in advance do I need to book a reservation for a private event or group dinner?

Online reservations at Colton's require at least 24 hours advance notice. If your plans come together on short notice, same-day reservations can be made by calling your local Colton's directly.

Yes. Colton’s does not accept reservations on Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or Valentine’s Day. These holidays are designated reservation blackout dates across all locations, so standard reservation availability does not apply on those days.

How do I request catering for a private event or corporate function?

Colton's hosts a wide range of occasions, including birthday dinners, anniversary celebrations, engagements, graduation parties, and business meetings.
