Before you head over
Practical guidance on seating, timing, and banquet planning from past diners.
Book later to avoid peak rush
Aim for an 8:00 PM or later reservation if you prefer an unhurried dinner, as peak services run briskly and later bookings allow you to savour courses as the dining room winds down.
Target counter seats as a walk-in
If you do not have a booking, drop in for counter seating along the open kitchen to secure full dining and drinks while watching chefs plate directly in front of you.
Customize group banquets
When dining as a large party on the banquet menu, review the course lineup and consider ordering extra a la carte dishes or desserts to balance flavor profiles and portion sharing.
