How to Book a Table
Reserve your table in 3 easy steps. A small deposit may be required to confirm your booking.
Choose your date, time & party size
Go to our website and scroll down to the "Book a Table" section. Pick your preferred date using the calendar. Then select how many guests (1-9+). Available time slots will appear — green means available, orange means only a few spots left.
Pick a table (optional)
After choosing a time, you'll see the available tables. Each table shows the name, number of seats, and location (indoor, window, or terrace). Click one to select it, or leave it empty and we'll assign the best table for you.
Fill in your details
Click "Continue" and enter your name, email, and phone number. You can also mention a special occasion (birthday, anniversary) and any dietary requirements or special requests.
