Before you head over

Practical dining advice on seating, timing, and menu ordering

  • Request Lower Level for Accessibility

    If you have mobility requirements, note that stairs leading to the upper level are steep. Request a table on the lower dining level when reserving.

  • Choose Dinner for a Quieter Setting

    Lunch sessions can get notably noisy with daytime crowds, whereas dinner sessions are typically quieter and easier for conversation.

  • Navigate the 3-Course Set Structure

    Each guest creates their own 3-course meal with an entree, main, and dessert, with perennial highlights including garlic-butter escargot and kangaroo steak.
