WHAT ARE THE COVID 19 PROTOCOLS IN PLACE?

Although the government has allowed indoor dining to open up with groups up to 25 guests, we need to emphasize that masks are still required of ALL guests and are to be worn unless seated at the table. This means if guests are NOT seated, they must wear a mask, if they are unable to wear a mask, a face covering of some sort must be worn. If guests are not abiding by this policy the deposit will be forfeited.

We hope you can understand that we still need to ensure the safety of our staff and all patrons dining with us. If you are not booking a private room and are proceeding with a non private event, we kindly ask that you and your guests stay seated for your duration of your dining experience unless to use the rest room. We need to ensure our other patrons due feel safe while dining with us.

As of September 22nd, all guests over the age of 12 who are dining indoors must provide proof of double vaccination (vaccination passport) as well as a photo ID. Failure to do so will result in not being able to attend event, no exceptions.
