Your Visit
We look forward to welcoming you. Here you'll find answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.
Dining
Do you offer vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free options?
Many of our dishes can be adapted to accommodate dietary preferences and food sensitivities. As each dish is prepared to order, please let your server know about any dietary requirements when making your reservation or upon arrival, and our team will be happy to assist.
Do you offer seasonal or daily specials?
Our menu evolves with the seasons, highlighting the freshest available ingredients. We regularly introduce new dishes and seasonal features—follow us or check our website for the latest offerings. Do you offer a children’s menu? While we do not offer a traditional children’s menu, we welcome families and can offer select options for younger guests. Please speak with our team.
Reservations & Groups
Do you accommodate large groups?
We welcome group dining and offer options for guests looking to celebrate together. For parties of six or more, we ask that the reservation be made online with a credit card to reserve your table. Because larger reservations require us to dedicate multiple tables and carefully plan our dining room, we ask that parties of six or more secure their reservation with a credit card. This allows us to provide the best possible experience for all of our guests while minimizing last-minute cancellations.
Is there a cancellation policy for reservations?
We understand that plans can change. If you need to cancel or modify your reservation, we kindly ask that you provide at least 24 hours' notice. For reservations of six or more guests, a valid credit card is required to secure your booking. A $25 per person hold will only be charged in the event of a late cancellation (less than 24 hours' notice) or a no-show. Your advance notice allows us to offer your table to other guests and helps us provide the best possible dining experience for everyone. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
