RESERVATIONS

 

***

PLEASE READ

  • RESERVATIONS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED. PLEASE PHONE (207) 466.9055 TO BOOK. (We are old school and this is the only way to make a reservation with us unless you swing by.)

  • We take reservations within a 30 day window of the current date. If you are planning a trip months in advance we assure you that we will be able to accommodate you if you call within the time frame.

  • Max party size is 8 guests. Our kitchen is too small to host parties larger than 8 in season. There are MANY lovely restaurants and catering companies in the area that can certainly host your larger gathering.

  • We DO accept and encourage reservations for the bar.

  • We DO NOT accept reservations for the deck. It is uncovered and therefore we are unable to book tables in the event of inclement weather. The deck is walk in only.

  • In season we take a credit card number for ALL reservations. If you cancel day of or do not show for your reservation you agree to a $25 per person “no show” fee. No fees will be charged if you change or cancel with 24hrs or more from your reservation.

  • YOU PROMISE TO PHONE IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO MAKE YOUR RESERVATION WITH AS MUCH NOTICE AS POSSIBLE. AN EMPTY TABLE MEANS A LOT TO US AND OUR STAFF

  • At opening time we seat reservations first so we do not fall behind on scheduling. If you do not have a reservation please be patient we promise we will get to you.

  • Please do your best to adhere to our suggested dining times of 1 1/2 hrs. for a table of two and 2 hrs. for a group of three or more.

  • Lastly, we have heard that it is hard to get a reservation with us and people think “that they will never get in” … just phone. We can often get parties in same day and can almost always with a few days notice.

    Thank you for your patronage, we can’t wait to see you.
