Reservation Tips
Reservations & Seating
Walk-Ins
Our bar, high-tops, and outdoor tables are first come, first served. Reservations usually are not required for small parties in regular dining, but we do recommend them to help avoid a possible wait. During busy times, guests with reservations are seated first, so you may occasionally notice open tables being held for upcoming reservations.
Outdoor Seating
We offer outdoor seating, and pets are welcome outside! Only service animals are allowed inside the restaurant. Please note that due to Manatee County regulations, alcohol cannot be served in our outdoor seating area.
Holidays
Special limited holiday menus and hours may apply. Please visit our "Events" page for holiday details, menus, and availability.
Last Seating vs. Closing Time
Our last seating time (not closing time) is 9pm. This is the latest time guests may reserve a table or be seated. You are welcome to come in and enjoy dinner with us up to and including 9pm. (Keep in mind, normal hours might change on major holidays)
Team Trivia & Special Events
We host Team Trivia and a variety of special events throughout the year. Some events may require separate reservations and may not be available through our standard dining reservation system. Please click above on our "Events" page for upcoming event details and reservation instructions.
