Capacity & layout
SEATED GUESTS
Up to 24 guests
Most seated groups are hosted in a reserved section of our upstairs dining room while the restaurant remains open to other guests. Full-floor buyout is available on select dates with a minimum spend.
STANDING / MIXED
Best for 10–24 guests
Up to ~40 guests for a standing-style reception with some seating.

For groups of around 10–16 guests, we typically reserve a dedicated section of the upstairs dining room. Please note that the floor is not fully private by default, and other guests may be seated in nearby tables depending on the time and day. Full or semi-private setups may be available with a minimum spend. Table layouts can be arranged for long tables or smaller groupings. Because the room is on the second floor, your event still feels naturally separate from the main dining area. For larger standing-style receptions around 40 guests, please share what you have in mind.
