Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions
Find quick answers about dietary needs, group sizes, and poker lounge etiquette.
Can you accommodate dietary requirements?
Yes. Dietary requirements can be accommodated with advance notice. Please share any allergies, intolerances, or preferences when you book so the kitchen can prepare a menu that works for everyone at your table.
Can we adjust the group size?
Group sizes can be adjusted up to the room capacity. The private dining room seats up to 14 guests, and the chef's table is limited to 6 guests per seating. Let us know your final numbers as early as possible.

Poker lounge dining is available during scheduled poker nights. The lounge opens at 6pm on those evenings, and dining packages can be arranged for the same night. Check the poker lounge page for the current schedule.
