Book a table

Our calendar lives on Resy. Pick a party size to open it with that already set, or open it as it comes.

Check availability

For seven or more, write to [email protected] and we will arrange it around the seatings. Counter seats are not prepaid. Please cancel at least 24 hours ahead; a no-show is charged $75 per counter guest or $30 per dining-room guest.

Before you book

A few things worth knowing.

Nine seats fill quickly. Reading this first tends to save an email.

  1. Counter seats are released monthly

    On the first of each month at 10:00 EST, the whole of the following month opens at once. Joining the seasonal letter gets you a reminder the evening before.

  2. No advance payment

    $185 per guest covers fifteen courses at the counter. We do not take a deposit or prepayment. Drinks, tax and gratuity are settled with the bill at the end of the evening.

  3. Arrive on time, please

    Service begins together. We hold seats for fifteen minutes; after that the sequence has moved on and we cannot bring it back.

  4. Cancellations and no-shows

    Please cancel at least 24 hours before your reservation. Cancellations do not incur a fee. If you do not arrive and have not cancelled, a no-show fee of $75 per counter guest or $30 per dining-room guest applies.

Frequently asked

The rest of it.

Is there a dress code?

No, but the room is quiet and low-lit and most guests dress for it. We ask only that you skip strong fragrance — it sits over the fish.

Can you accommodate allergies at the counter?

Yes, with notice at booking. Shellfish, gluten and pregnancy-safe sequences are routine. Please tell us rather than declining pieces at the counter; the sequence is built in advance and we would rather rebuild it than leave gaps.

Do you seat children?

The dining room welcomes all ages. The counter is best for twelve and over, simply because two hours on a stool is a long time.

Are walk-ins possible?

We hold six seats in the lounge each evening for walk-ins from 17:00. The counter is never available without a reservation.

The night I want is full. Is there a waitlist?

Yes — use Resy Notify on the date you want and it will alert you the moment a seat is released. Cancellations inside the last 24 hours are common enough that it is worth setting.

Can I buy a gift certificate?

Yes — in any denomination, valid for a year, sent in a folded card by post or as a PDF. Email [email protected].

Where should we park?

There is a garage directly across the street that validates. The 72nd Street station on the 1, 2 and 3 is a two-minute walk.
