An automatic service charge will be added to bills for parties of five and larger.

Is there a time limit on tables?

We kindly ask that you observe our 2-hour table limit to allow for other guests/reservations. On busy nights and weekends, there may be a 90-minute time limit.

What if I’m running late?

Please call if you are running late. We allow a 15-minute grace period. After that your table will be given to the next patrons.

Do you have parking?

We do not have parking on premises. Street parking is available but can be tricky. If Uber is not an option, we recommend using a parking garage in the area:

-ACME MARKET PARKING GARAGE (SP+ Parking - 545 South 11th Street - 5-min. walk). They offer complimentary 2-hour parking with a $10 ACME purchase

-SYMPHONY HOUSE PARKING GARAGE (440 S. Broad Street 6-min. walk). Close to theaters and concert halls.

Do you have outdoor seating?

Seasonal outdoor dining is available along a lovely shaded side street with potted blooms and bird serenades. Also, we are happy to set up a table outside for you off-season due to health reasons or if you’d like to bring your pet—please call ahead. (Note: outdoor seating is not heated).

Do you allow dogs?

Feel free to bring your furry friends to dine with you outdoors (reservations recommended). We will be sure to welcome them with fresh water and chin scratches.

Do you have gluten free / vegan / vegetarian menu items?

Yes, some of which are labeled on our menu, others that can be modified. Please call and speak to one of our owners for more information.

Are your desserts made in-house?

Yes! We have an on-site pastry chef who makes all our desserts by hand. Gluten free desserts available by request.

Why didn’t you have Ratatouille when I came?

Everything is prepared fresh and popular dishes may sell out. If you have a favorite, call ahead and we will try and reserve you your special dish!

Why couldn’t I find the dish I saw on your Instagram page on your menu?

Sometimes we feature specials or seasonal dishes that are only available for a limited time. We also have two separate menus; one for dinner and one for brunch on the weekends.

What if I want to bring my own cake for a birthday or other celebration?

Please let us know ahead of time if you would like to bring your own cake/dessert. We charge a $5 per person cakeage fee (similar to a corkage). This is to cover storage, cutting, plating, serving, clearing, and to offset loss of revenue from in-house desserts.

Why did my food take so long?

We are a tiny restaurant with a tiny staff, and everything we do is made to order. Wait times can lag when everyone shows up at once or we have a lot of takeout orders. If you have theater tickets or are in a rush, please inform us beforehand and we will make every effort to prioritize your order. Thanks for your patience!

Do you do private parties?

Yes, anything from birthdays, bridal/baby showers, engagement parties, graduations, business events, holiday parties, etc. Please let us know what you’re looking for and we will get back to you shortly.
