Frequently Asked
Questions we hear most often.
If yours isn't here, give us a call or drop us a line.
Reservations
Do I need a reservation?
Strongly recommended, especially Friday and Saturday evenings, holidays, and around major events. Tuesday and Wednesday nights usually have walk-in availability, but reserving is always safer.
How far in advance can I book?
Our reservation system opens 60 days out. For special occasions — Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, NYE — we suggest booking as soon as that window opens.
Large parties?
For groups of 8 or more, please call us directly so we can find the best room configuration. Parties of 14+ are typically booked through our private events team.
Cancellation policy?
We don't charge for cancellations on standard reservations as long as we hear from you. Same-day cancellations or no-shows on holiday/large-party bookings may be subject to a fee — we'll always note it upfront.
Menu & Dietary
Do you accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions?
Yes — gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, and most major allergies. Tell your server when you sit down (or note it in your reservation) and the kitchen will work with you. Our allergen hot sheet is available on the menu page.
Is the menu the same at lunch and dinner?
No. Lunch has a tighter list with sandwiches, pastas, and lighter mains; dinner is the full Branzino-and-paella experience. Brunch (weekends) is its own thing entirely.
Kids menu?
Yes — pastas, simple grilled fish, chicken tenders, and a few other things kids actually want to eat. High chairs and booster seats available.
Visiting
What's the dress code?
Comfortable. We're not jeans-only and we're not jacket-required — most guests land somewhere in the "nice casual to slightly dressed up" range.
Is there parking?
Yes, free on-site lot directly out front, plus overflow parking next door.
Is the dining room accessible?
Yes — single-level entry, wide aisles, accessible restrooms. Mention any specific needs when you book and we'll set up the right table in advance.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes — on the seasonal patio (warm weather only). Service animals are welcome anywhere.
Catering & Private Events
Do you cater off-site?
Yes, in the DMV area. From corporate lunches and weddings to backyard rehearsal dinners. Start with our catering form and we'll send a custom proposal.
What are your private event capacities?
Five private spaces: the Nook (8), the Speakeasy (18), the Amalfi Room (32), the Middle Room (40), and the Front Room (50). A full buyout hosts up to 120. We also have a separate daytime meeting space.
Do you do off-menu / custom menus for private events?
Absolutely. Most private events run a custom three- or four-course menu. We'll work with you on pricing, courses, dietary needs, and wine pairings.
Gift Cards & Loyalty
Do you sell gift cards?
Yes — physical and digital. Available in-restaurant or online (coming soon).
Do you have a loyalty program?
Yes — $1 spent = 1 point, tracked automatically through our point-of-sale. Points stack across visits, cards, and phone numbers, and are redeemable on any future visit. Tell your server when you sit down and we'll set you up. More about our loyalty program →
