  • Seasonal tasting menus: Let the kitchen guide you through the best of the day.
  • Communal tables: Share plates and stories with new friends.

Dinner, Then a Friendly Game of Poker

Many guests join us for dinner before settling into a friendly game of physical poker. Our poker tables are just steps away from the dining area, making it easy to transition from a meal to a social card game. There is no gambling here — only good food, good company, and the quiet pleasure of a well-played hand.

Reserve a table for dinner and let us know if you plan to stay for poker, so we can arrange seating near the card lounge.
