Seatings

First / 18:00 — 19:30

Second / 20:30 — 22:00

Two sittings nightly, eighteen covers each. Tables release fourteen days out.

The Room

Fourteen seats, one counter, no distance to the fire.

Low light, low ceilings, close quarters. You will hear the pass before you see it — the room is built so nothing between the kitchen and the table goes unnoticed.

Moody dining room corner with a woven pendant light and round table set for guests

Wine

A cellar edited, not collected.

Pairings built course by course, favoring small producers over famous names.

Private Dining

The whole pass, for your table only.

A closed-door sitting for up to twelve, cooked and paced around your occasion.
