Thank you very much for your interest in Blue Dragon Catering. This page covers details and additional information about our catering services.
In most cases, the Blue Dragon will contract for all food and beverage. That way the Blue Dragon can be responsible for the quality and freshness of the food served to its guests.
We are pleased to present you with the following options for your upcoming events! Please understand that we are committed to your complete satisfaction and will do everything we can to provide you and your guests with an outstanding experience.
Therefore, unless otherwise agreed, no food may be brought into the restaurant from another source for consumption in our facilities. Also due to current health regulations, in most cases, food may not be taken off the premises after it has been prepared and served, nor kept for a future event.
All alcoholic beverage sales and service is regulated by the State of Hawai'i Liquor Commission. Blue Dragon, as licensee, is responsible for the administration of these regulations. Therefore, no liquor or beer may be brought into the restaurant from outside sources. Unopened bottles of wine are allowed with at least one week advance notice. An $18 corkage fee will be charged per bottle of wine brought in the restaurant. A bartender employed by the Blue Dragon must dispense alcoholic beverages served in our restaurant.
For off premise events the host is responsible for supplying all alcohol. The Blue Dragon is not allowed to offer alcohol outside of the restaurant and will not be held accountable for consumption at events off-site. We do offer a skilled bartender as well as full bar equipment rental.
We request all menus be finalized a minimum of 2 weeks prior to your function date in order to guarantee availability and price. Catering contracts, or Banquet Event Orders, will be issued for all organized food and beverage functions and a signature in acknowledgment of the arrangements contained therein will be required a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the event.

It is requested that the Blue Dragon Catering Services be notified with a tentative estimate of your guests at least 2 weeks prior to the event. We request your final tally and guarantee by 9:00 a.m., 3 business days prior to the event. This will be considered a guarantee for which Blue Dragon will prepare the appropriate amount of food and beverage for your guests.
You will be charged according to the 3 day guest guarantee, even if the actual attendance is less. Should your guaranteed guest count be significantly less than your tentative count, the Blue Dragon reserves the right to change the agreed amount per person accordingly.
Blue Dragon reserves the right to cancel or move any outdoor function, based on the weather. To ensure the timely set up of outdoor functions, the decision will be made by 1:00 p.m., the day of the event. We will discuss with you the need to relocate a function indoors. However, the Blue Dragon must reserve the right to make a final decision in the best interest of all concerned.
