The secrets

Insider tips

  • The month-ahead book is how you avoid being stuck at 5pm. There is walk-in seating at the bar, which sits apart from the dining room and the open kitchen.

    single report The Infatuation

  • The bar takes walk-ins and serves the full à la carte menu. Resy releases two calendar months at a time, each month going live at midnight on the first of the month before, for parties of up to six.

  • Cancellations made less than 48 hours out carry a fee, so the 48-hour mark is when booked guests let tables go. Questions about bookings go to the reservations email rather than the phone.
