No, we do not take reservations; we are a “first-come, first-served” establishment. However, we do have a waitlist that your party can be placed on via our website. Any member of your party can put you on the list with a name and contact info.

Once your name is on the list, you will receive an initial text. Once we are ready to seat you, there will be a second text. After the second text is sent, you will have up to 10 minutes for your complete party to be present in the restaurant for us to proceed. As a general policy, we do not sit incomplete parties or allow late joiners. This helps to decrease wait times and speed service along.
