What people drive here for

Four things off the fire
that keep coming back

There is no gas line to the range. Everything on the menu goes over live oak and citrus wood, which is why the kitchen closes at ten and why the snapper sells out most Saturdays by eight. The menu changes when the farms change it, usually every three or four weeks.

Price a party before you call us

Parties of eight and up do not fit the booking app, so most restaurants make you leave a voicemail and wait. Set the four things below and you will see the room you would be in, what it runs per person, the minimum spend on that room and the deposit, before you speak to anybody.

Why these four

Headcount decides the room, the room decides the minimum, the service decides the per-head, and the menu style moves it up or down. Nothing else changes the number much.

What it is not

It is an estimate from the last two years of parties, not a contract. The events manager confirms the room and the number in writing before you pay a deposit.

You would be at the long table in the main dining room.

    Send it over

    Everything you set above goes with the message, so the events manager calls you back with a room and a date instead of starting from scratch. We answer party inquiries the same day, including Mondays when we are closed.

    The fire

    One fire, no gas,
    and a menu that follows it

    The range is a nine foot hearth burning live oak and citrus wood from a grove eleven miles up 441. Nothing on the menu is finished on gas, which is the whole constraint the kitchen works inside: what tastes better with smoke goes on, what does not comes off. That is why the menu moves every three or four weeks and why we will not print a laminated one.

    • The fire is lit at nine every morning

      It takes six hours to get to temperature, which is why we do not open for lunch except by arrangement for a party.

    Before you book

    The things people ask us on the phone

    Walk-ins

    The bar and the eight seats along the window are held for walk-ins every night and never booked. If you are two people at 6pm on a Tuesday, just come.

    Minimums

    Room minimums are food and drink only. Tax and the twenty percent service charge sit on top and do not count toward it. The planner above shows you the number before you ask.

    Dietary needs

    Tell us seven days out for a set menu and we will build around it. Gluten and dairy are straightforward here. A hard nut allergy in a wood-fired kitchen, we will talk it through honestly first.

    Cancellations

    The deposit is refundable up to fourteen days out, half up to seven, and held inside a week. We will always try to move you to another date before keeping anything.

    Bringing your own wine

    Two bottles per party, twenty five dollars corkage each, nothing already on our list. For a buyout we will waive it on one bottle a table.

    Children and dogs

    Both welcome. There is no children's menu because half the menu already works; ask us and we will point at it. Dogs on the patio, water bowl comes out unasked.
