Before you come
Can you handle food allergies?
Yes. Every dish on our online menu lists its main allergens. Tell us about any allergy when you book, and tell your server again at the table, because our kitchen does handle nuts, sesame and shellfish.
Do you take walk-ins?
Yes. We hold the bar seats for walk-ins every night we are open, and the patio is walk-in only in summer. For a table on Friday or Saturday, booking ahead is safer.
Where can I park?

Do you sell gift cards?
