FAQ

Are reservations required?
Without a reservation, we cannot guarantee seating and can only seat upon availability after you arrive. During peak days—such as weekends and holidays—reservations are strongly suggested as we generally can’t accommodate walk-ins.

Can I add guests to my reservation?
You can do this yourself in Resy! To manage your reservation, please visit your Resy app. If your party size increases to 13 or more guests, please fill out the large-party request form found here. Giving us plenty of notice is the best way for us to find space for your expanded party. If your party size changes on the day of your reservation, please chat with us via the confirmation text RESY sends for the fastest possible answer. We will do our best to accommodate any day-of changes but cannot guarantee availability.

Why can’t I book a party of 13 or more through RESY?
Parties of 13 or more are handled by our private events team. Please click here to learn more about booking larger parties.

Can you accommodate guests with tree-nut allergies and dietary restrictions?
Dietary restrictions such as nuts, gluten-free, shellfish and dairy are noted beside each dish, with a key found at the bottom of the menu. Those with dietary restrictions should preview the menu on our website before your visit and reach out via email with questions about specific dishes. While we are often able to modify and accommodate guests’ menu requests, we cannot fully guarantee that cross-contamination can be avoided.
‍
What is your policy for late arrivals?
We hold tables for 10 minutes, and then the table is released. We will seat you based on availability when your entire party has arrived.

Is your patio open year-round?
The reservable patio is not heated but is covered and remains open whenever possible throughout the year. Outdoor dining may be closed without notice due to inclement weather.
‍
Is smoking allowed on your patio?
Smoking is not permitted under our tents on the patio.

Are dogs allowed on the patio?
Yes, we welcome well-behaved dogs that won’t interfere with guest experience.

Do you add a service charge?
We include a 20% service charge for all parties of 12 or fewer, and 25% for groups of 13 or more. Guests can choose to tip more in recognition of outstanding service, but it is fully optional.

Can our party’s check be separated?
Optional use of the Sunday app on your smartphone is the best way to split a check for larger parties. Note that Sunday does charge a fee for use of the app. For those who do not wish to use Sunday, we cannot accommodate separate check requests for parties of six or more. For parties of five or less, splitting three ways is the maximum number of splits we can accommodate.

Do you offer gift cards?
We have e-cards available for purchase right here on our website. Click “Gift Cards” at the top of this page for more information.

Do you have a happy hour?
We offer happy hour pricing on select drinks and $22 “Happier Meals” in the bar area from 12–6 p.m. each weekday. Please visit our website and click on “Happy Hour” in the menu section to see our offerings.

What is your corkage fee?
‍We charge $45 per bottle for up to two bottles. If the bottle is available on our list, the fee is equal to the full bottle menu price regardless of vintage. Magnums count as two 750ml bottles.

Are you open on holidays?
Please check the hours listed on Google to get the most up-to-date information for holiday closings and special hours.

Do you have high chairs?
Yes.

Do you have parking?
No. Our guests can self-park on the street or in the parking garage at the Cambria Hotel located 1.5 blocks north at the corner of O & 9th streets. We are located within a block of the Mount Vernon Square/7th St./Convention Center Metro station.

Do you have a kid’s menu?
While we have a kid-friendly menu, we don’t have a dedicated kid’s menu. Most of our assembled items can be modified or made without certain components for kids or picky eaters. Popular off-menu items with younger guests include plain scrambled eggs, the kid’s burger and a kid’s spaghetti that comes with either tomato sauce or a butter-Parmesan sauce.

Do you offer bottomless brunch or brunch all day?
We do not offer a bottomless brunch. Our à la carte brunch is offered every day from 7 a.m.–3:45 p.m.

Do you allow outside food or balloons for parties?
Not at this time.

Do you participate in Restaurant Week?
Yes, both winter and summer. Check back on our website and social media channels for more details a few weeks before they start.
