FAQ's

What is your mask policy?

In accordance with government orders and CDC guidelines, all guests (regardless of age or vaccine status) are required to wear a mask that covers the nose and mouth while in the building unless they are seated at their appointed table. This includes when getting up to use the restroom or to enter or exit the space. We understand that the mask requirement brings up feelings for folks, but please don’t take those feelings out on our staff. If you cannot comply with this policy, we ask that you do not dine with us at this time.
