  • We know that organizing a group dinner can take a little extra effort — aligning schedules, planning ahead, and making sure everyone’s included. We’re here to make that part easy, so you can focus on enjoying the evening.

    That said, accuracy in your reservation details is essential. Knowing your final guest count prior to the evening is imperative in helping us prepare the space, plan service, and ensure that everything runs smoothly — for your table and for the restaurant as a whole. That being said, please review the guidelines below to avoid any confusion prior to booking.

    • Reductions in guest count are accepted up to 48 hours prior to your reservation.

    • If we’re notified less than 48 hours before, the table will still be held and billed for the original guest count.

    • To request an increase in party size beyond your original booking, please call us directly — we’ll always do our best to accommodate.
