Tell us what you have in mind


The form below goes straight to the booking desk, not to a call centre. We read every enquiry personally and reply with availability, a rough idea of what the menu might look like and how to lock it in.

WhatsApp and Viber Both available on +61 3 8564 2917 for quick questions.
Response time Within one business day, usually much sooner.
Allergies Give us four days' notice where you can so the kitchen can source around them.
Groups of ten or more Mention the headcount and we will suggest a set menu instead of à la carte.

We hold your details only to answer this enquiry. Read the privacy policy for the full picture.

Which Booking

Not sure what to ask for?

A quick way to work out whether you want a standard table, the chef's table or a class.

Before You Ask

Contact questions we get often


Quick answers to the things people ring up about most. If yours is not here, that is a good reason to call us on +61 3 8564 2917.

Every enquiry sent through the form or by email gets a reply within one business day. Most go out the same evening once service slows down. If you need an answer before then, call the restaurant and someone will pick up.

Often yes, especially early or late in the week. Same-day requests should go through the phone rather than the form, because the booking desk checks email between prep jobs and might not see it before service begins.

Yes. Solo diners are welcome any night we are open and get seated at the small bar bench facing the pass if they like. No minimum spend and no pressure to order more than you want.

Absolutely. Please include the guest's name, any allergies and whether a celebration is involved so we can prepare a small desert plate without you having to spell it out on the night.

No dress code. Wear what you would wear to a friend's dinner party. The room is warm in summer and the courtyard can be cool after dark, so a light layer is worth having at hand.

We will hold a table for 48 hours without a deposit while you check with everyone. After that we need a firm headcount, especially for weekend bookings, because the room is small and every seat has to earn its place.
