FAQs

 
  • Yes! We keep the bar open for this exact reason and have the full with the full à la carte menu available.

    We are not able to accommodate walk-ins for the tasting menu since we prepare specifically for the number of pre-paid guests. If the date you are looking for is full, just add your name to the waitlist (we do check it!).

  • We don’t!

    9:00 pm is the cut off for reservations online, but the kitchen is usually open until 9:30 or so, depending on the evening.

  • Because of the size of our dining room and a menu that is curated for adults, we do not recommend bringing very small children. We do not allow high chairs.

    If your older child is up for a longer dinner (2.5-3 hours), they are welcome to join us for the tasting menu. We will treat them like adults, however, with all of the same courses at the full price.

    Thank you for understanding!

  • We can accommodate parties 6-8 guests during a normal service, which is best for our acoustics and small space. Our Director of Hospitality is happy to book this for you, as we don’t allow large group booking from our website.

    For groups of 6-8, we will need to take a credit card to keep on file. For groups of 8, we do require a food and beverage minimum, with a gratuity included. Our cancellation policy is as follows: if your group cancels or no-shows within 48 hours, we reserve the right to charge $50 per person.

    Again, please feel free to email us with special circumstances and considerations.

  • We are at 470 Cleveland Avenue South, St. Paul, MN 55105 in the Highland Park neighborhood. We don’t have valet, but you can park in front of the restaurant on Cleveland Avenue, just south of us on Randolph Avenue, or just north of us on James Avenue.

  • A la carte:

    We are a small restaurant, often with a wait list. If you can let us know at least 24 hours before your reservation time (or sooner) we greatly appreciate it (especially for 4-tops).

    Chef’s Tasting Menu:

    Just as booking any ticketed event, bookings are final. We prepare weekly for the amount of guests who have reservations, so if you need to reschedule, you can transfer your reservation to another guest. We work with curated and limited ingredients to give you the best experience we can. Email Dana at myrielmn@gmail.com regarding any further inquiries or extenuating circumstances. Thank you for understanding!

  • We can accommodate many allergies–gluten free or vegetarian for example. Because we feature homemade cheese and a whole animal butchery program, we cannot accommodate a vegan diet or a completely dairy free diet for the tasting menu.  

    Due to the nature of our location and menu, we cannot eliminate all lactose (namely butter). As for aversions and preferences, please know that our ingredients are carefully selected and it is important to us that everyone on a given night is having a similar experience. In most cases there will not be a large quantity of any given ingredient, so you can easily dodge or not consume much of something that might not be your favorite.

  • We are happy to discuss a special private event in keeping with what we do best (the food and the style of service will be consistent with our brand and ethos). We recommend booking at least three months in advance, before our reservations are released.

    Our dining room fits 28 people comfortably, and we have 10 seats in the bar area as well. The food and beverage minimum and buyout cost varies depending on the day and style of service. Please email us with any questions and we will be happy to discuss these terms in detail. Thank you!
