​​ALLERGEN AND DIETARY ACCOMMODATIONS
We are pleased to offer modified menus for guests with allergies and dietary restrictions, including vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan (including options that are both gluten-free and dairy-free), and nut-free selections. However, we are not a restaurant specializing in allergen-free or dietary-restricted dining, and we do not operate an allergen-free kitchen. Our modified menus are designed to allow more guests to enjoy our atmosphere, but we encourage those with severe allergies to review our offerings carefully before booking.
Advance notice is required for all menu modifications. If a note was not made at the time of booking, please request at least 24 hours before your reservation. When submitting requests, please be as specific as possible (e.g., “1 gluten-free, 2 vegetarian, 1 dairy-free”) to ensure we prepare accordingly. If a nut-free menu is required, please specify the exact allergy details.
While we do our best to accommodate various dietary needs, we are unable to create fully customized menus or accommodate soy-free or sesame-free requests. If our available options do not meet your needs, you are welcome to enjoy tea with your guests or visit us during walk-in hours, where seating is available without the $36 minimum. For full details on our menu accommodations, please visit our Menu Page.
ALLERGEN NOTICE : Our menus include products that contain or may contain tree nuts, peanuts, dairy, wheat, eggs, and berries. We also partner with local vendors and bakeries that use these ingredients in their products. Our staff and partners are trained to minimize the risk of cross-contamination in allergen-friendly offerings. However, we cannot guarantee that our products are completely free of these allergens. Guests with food allergies should be aware of the potential risks before dining with us. If you have any concerns, please reach out to us before your visit, and we will be happy to discuss your options.
