Our six course dinner menu is our only offering in the dining room. At the bar we offer both an a la carte menu or our six course dinner menu.

Reservations!
Indoor (dining room & bar) reservations go live each morning at 10am for up to two weeks out. For example on a Wednesday reservations will become available for the Wednesday in two weeks time. Patio reservations are booked differently, please see the Patio Info! section below.

In our dining room we offer only our six course dinner menu. Our a la carte menu is not available in our dining room, but is available at our bar or on the patio.

Each reservation time specifies either Dining Room - Indoors (our dining room) or Bar (indoor bar seating) or Patio (outdoors) when you book your reservation. When you join us we will ONLY be able to honor the reservation you booked. We can accommodate parties of 1-8 guests in our dining room, parties of 1-4 on our patio, and parties of 1-2 at our bar. Our availability for parties of seven and eight is extremely limited and typically only available Sunday-Thursday. Please reach out via email to check on availability for parties of seven and eight. There will be a time limit of 2.5 hours for all of our reservations.

Unfortunately, we can not seat parties larger than eight. We are not be able to combine reservations to make one larger party. If you are looking to book for a party of 9-16 guests, our sibling restaurant Reveler’s Hour can seat larger parties.

A credit card is required to confirm your booking. If you need to cancel, we ask that you do so by 5:00pm the day prior to your reservation. Cancellations made after 5:00 PM the day prior to your reservation, day of bookings that are cancelled the same day as the reservation, and no-shows will be charged a $25/person cancellation fee.

Patio Info! - open when weather allows, check RESY for availability - Patio reservations open for booking on Sunday for the upcoming week.
Our streatery is located on a shady, tree lined, one way street in front of the restaurant. We have bug spray and citronella candles available for our guests, but can not control when DC’s mosquitos choose to make their presence known. Our patio has some protection from the elements, but in the event of rainy weather we will close the patio. If you are booking for a special occasion we encourage you to book indoors so you won’t be disappointed if the weather doesn’t cooperate and your reservation is canceled. The patio closes promptly at 11pm each evening to ensure we are being good neighbors. We take reservations for 1-4 guests on the patio. Requests on an indoor reservation to move outside cannot be honored and vice versa. The patio offers both our six course dinner menu or an a la carte menu. We don’t have heaters on the patio. Bring a layer for when the sun goes down!

Bar Info!
We take reservations for 1-2 guests at the main bar. We have four additional bar seats in the “nook” that are available first come, first serve daily. The bar offers both our six course dinner menu or an a la carte menu.

Walk-In Info!
We do our best to accommodate walk-ins and it’s always worth popping in if you are in the neighborhood. We tend to have more flexibility and shorter wait times Monday through Thursday & Sunday evenings. Our wait times are often shortest earlier or later in the evenings.

There is limited paid parking in the neighborhood which can be found in a small lot located in the alley behind our building and a larger lot a few blocks south of us on 18th Street. These lots charge $30 for parking. If you do drive we recommend factoring in extra time to find parking.
