Yes, we have vegan and gluten-free options, as well as options that accommodate both! We have a variety of dishes in order to best serve everyone.

At this point we do not have a specific room or tables that can accommodate large groups (growing pains!). However, we have a limited ability to set up a table combination to accommodate larger groups. This will depend on overall bookings for the night. We take reservations up to one month in advance.
