- Arrive before 8 PM on weekends to secure seating without a long wait, as the intimate space fills quickly during peak hours.
- Order several small plates to share rather than individual dishes—the menu is designed for this approach and allows you to experience more flavours.
- Ask the bartenders for recommendations rather than ordering from memory; they excel at crafting drinks tailored to your preferences and can suggest pairings with the food menu.
- Remember the bar is closed Sundays and Mondays—plan your visit for Tuesday through Saturday to avoid disappointment.
- Explore the non-alcoholic cocktail options if you prefer—they receive the same attention to craft and flavour balance as the alcoholic drinks.
