Reopening Update!

Pooleside Pies © Lauren V. Allen

We are excited to announce that we are gearing up to reopen the dining rooms of Poole’s Diner, Poole’side Pies, Beasley’s, and Death & Taxes in mid April! Exact reopening dates for each restaurant to come soon! 

We will be reopening gradually, with limited services to start, and will build back to a full schedule for dine-in service in stages.

We have been operating in a take-out only model since March 2020, to try to mitigate the risk of infection for staff and guests during the pandemic. We have made the decision to reopen based on the reduction in community spread; and access to vaccinations for our staff, and an increasing percentage of the public. 

We are SO excited to reopen! We truly have missed you. That said, we ask for your understanding in that we will continue to enforce limited capacity restrictions and follow CDC guidelines surrounding mask-wearing, and will be requiring you to do the same while in our spaces. We will be building back gradually to ensure an incredible experience for everyone. We appreciate your patience and understanding—we’re almost there!

A Low-Stress Christmas Meal

If you're blinking at the calendar and wondering where the time went, you're not alone.  Christmas is only two weeks away, and we're here to help take the stress out of your meal-planning. 

Check out our options of Christmas breakfast, sides, and desserts, available for pick up on the 23rd or the 24th. We’ll start with  breakfast: homemade cinnamon rolls, quiche lorraine, or Beasley’s biscuits. And then you can round out your dinner plans with our sides, including mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese custard, and braised collards. And for dessert? Pies, cookies, and the most luxurious Videri chocolate ganache tart we could come up with. See the full menu here. 

Our pickup windows will be Monday, December 23rd and Tuesday, December 24th from 10am to 4pm--you can come anytime during that window to pick up your order. 

Place your order here before Wednesday, 12/18. Questions? Email holidays@ac-restaurants.com.

New Year’s Eve reservations for the planner in your life

We know that it’s not even Thanksgiving yet, but if you’re looking to get a jump on the rest of your holiday planning, you’re in luck! Reservations are now available for our special New Year’s Eve dinner menus at Poole’s Diner at Death & Taxes. 


At Poole’s, tuck in for a 3-course prix fixe ($75++ per guest) with offerings like Parmesan veloute with a poached egg and preserved truffles; coffee-cured short ribs with Brabant potatoes; and roasted banana creme caramel. Make your reservation here.


Or go big at Death & Taxes with our 4-course prix fixe ($95 ++ per guest). Options like grilled pork belly with pommes anna, tuna carpaccio with grilled avocado, and grilled snapper with crab and lobster ravioli promise a tough decision, but whatever direction you go, you won’t be disappointed. Make your reservation here


If you’re looking for less of a commitment, join us after 10pm at the kitchen counter at Death & Taxes for our “Champagne Snacks” menu—for just $18, enjoy four small bites to pair with a glass of bubbles as the clock winds down until midnight. Call the restaurant to reserve your spot for this special menu. 


Here’s to a delicious end to 2020!
