Frequently Asked Questions

I’m having trouble getting a reservation — what should I do?
Join us in our bar where there are no reservations required (but they are accepted) and where you may order any type of food from our bar menu to a full 10-Course Tasting. If you prefer reservations in our dining room, your best bet is to book a table in advance, particularly if you would like to join us on a weekend. If you are able to be flexible regarding the time, that certainly helps. You can still make spur-of-the-moment plans - we do get cancellations, and it is always worthwhile to call or drop in that day. You can reserve a table by calling us at (617) 497-5511, or by making a reservation online.
