The take

Save it for an occasion — this is coursed, white-tablecloth cooking served through the rooms of a 1913 Craftsman, and the bill will land in celebration territory.

What to order: Splurge on the rosemary-butter elk chop — the dish their own site leads with.

Questions people ask

Do I need a reservation?

Yes, by phone or through OpenTable — and the restaurant warns explicitly that it does NOT use Resy, so a booking made there is not valid.

Worth reading twice if you booked through an app: they will not have your table.

Is there a dress code?

Yes — business or dressy casual. Collared shirts and dress trousers for men, business or formal-casual for women; T-shirts, shorts, casual sandals and hats are discouraged.

Is there outdoor seating?

Yes — a covered porch with infrared heaters and weather curtains, and a lower covered patio with umbrellas, propane heaters and lap blankets. Outdoor tables have to be booked by phone; they are not on OpenTable.

Where do I park?

A private lot beside the building, plus street parking on Louise Avenue.

Can I book a large party?

Yes — private groups of 10 to 38, arranged by phone or email directly.
