How long is my table booked for, for dining?
Please be advised that there is a reservation time of 2 hours for bookings of 5 or less and 2.5 hours for 6+.

We do accept walk-ins. However, if we are at full capacity, we can only let in those with a booking. Therefore, we always recommend booking in advance.
