Frequently Asked

Quick answers to the things most guests want to know before they visit.

Do you take reservations?

Yes — we take reservations up to 30 days in advance through our website or by phone. About a third of our seats are held for walk-ins, mostly at the bar.

Is there a dress code?

Smart casual. The room is intimate and warm, so most guests dress one notch above everyday — though jeans with a nice top are perfectly welcome.

Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Absolutely. Roughly a third of our menu is vegetarian or easily made so, and we handle gluten-free, nut-free and shellfish-free preparations daily. Please mention allergies when booking and again with your server.

Is the restaurant child-friendly?

Children are welcome until 8:30pm. We don’t have a separate kids’ menu but our team is happy to suggest dishes that work well for younger palates.

Can I bring my own wine?

We don’t offer corkage on weekends. Tuesday–Thursday we allow a single 750ml bottle for a $35 corkage fee, provided it isn’t already on our list.

Where can I park?

Free street parking is generally available on 18th Avenue and 122nd Street after 6pm. The closest paid lot is two blocks west on 14th Road.

Do you offer takeout or delivery?

Yes — order ahead by phone for pickup, or through our delivery partners listed on the homepage. The full menu is available except for a few delicate plates that don’t travel well.

Do you host private events?

Yes, from semi-private dinners of 12 up to full restaurant buyouts of 65 guests. See our Events page for details.
