Some Answers to
Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
What Is The Sanctuary
The Sanctuary is a private NFC owner only multifaciated entertainment venue. We offer our NFT holders a location to network with other like minded individuals, enjoy gaming, dining, and live entertainment. We also offer a range of personal and business services to our members through area partners.
When Is The Sanctuary Opening
Renovating a 150 year old building is no small task and we are excited to welcome members of the Rutland community to our establishment when everything is ready. Currently we expect to open in the Fall of 2024.
Why is it taking so long for the Sanctuary to Open
Due to the age of the building we are located in and the experience we are providing, everything takes a little longer than it would be if we were simply opening a restaurant.
The details matter to us and is what will set us apart from being just another new restaurant to open in town.
Is the Sanctuary Youth Friendly
The Sanctuary is an elevated experience designed for our adults and for special occasions. To ensure the quality of the experience that we provide to our guests we are not a youth friendly establishment. We do not define a specific age when an individual is no longer considered to be a youth.
Will the Sanctuary have a dress code
A dress code is strictly enforced for all individuals visiting our venue. All areas of the Sanctuary have a minimum standard of Semi-Formal dress.
Dining At The Sanctuary
Can members of the general public dine at The Sanctuary
Access to the Sanctuary is restricted to NFT holders and invited guests only. Limited food offerings will also be available through our delivery partners Door Dash & Uber Eats.
Do you offer take out
To ensure the quality of our dishes and the overall Sanctuary Experience, we do not offer traditional take out or to go options. Limited food offerings will be available through our delivery partners Door Dash & Uber Eats.
In addition to our offerings through our delivery partners we also offer take out via "Resy at Home" of specially prepared dining experiences for you to take home.
How can I reserve a table
We will begin accepting reservations through our NFT holders portal one month prior to opening.
Where can I find a menu
Our Chefs Table menu changes nightly; reservations at the chefs table are based on a pre fixe five course meal; we do not offer modifications or substitutions. We do accommodate for allergies that are documented in your reservation.
The host of parties joining us in our private dining rooms will have the opportunity to work with a member of our culinary team to develop a pre fixe menu prior to arrival at The Sanctuary.
Our standard fixed menu is available in our main dining areas.
Do you have outdoor dining
We intend to offer outdoor bistro dining beginning in the Spring of 2025. Our Bistro Dining will be open to the general public with out the need for reservations and include a special bistro dining menu designed to allow individuals to enjoy a Sanctuary meal in a shorter time period than our traditional multi-hour service.
Events, NFT's, & Membership
What are NFT's
A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unique digital identified stored in a blockchain similar to crypto currency. In the case of The Sanctuary it is embedded into a piece of digital art.
Why do I need to purchase an NFT
Consider an NFT as a virtual key granting access to a social club, bringing together people with similar interests or values. By enforcing an NFT requirement for access to The Sanctuary it allows us to provide an elevated experience to our guests which we cannot provide by allowing anyone to walk in off the street.
The Sanctuary has multiple tiers of NFTs which provide different access to services we offer. At the lowest level, your NFT provides you will access to our private dining rooms, general dining area and other service offerings.
Higher level NFTs provide access to our members lounge, additional services, and allow for you to bring more than one guest into the Sanctuary.
I heard you would be open to the public, how is an NFT requirement different than being members only.
NFTs are able to be purchased by anyone and can be transferred to other individuals after purchasing. There is no approval process required to purchase an NFT, unlike our memberships.
How do I become a member
Membership is currently available by invite only. If you are interested in becoming a member of The Sanctuary you must be sponsored by current member.
