Ten Seats, One Seating: Getting Into the Chef's Counter

The 30-Day Release

Seats release thirty days out at noon, and weekend allocations typically go within the hour — residents get first call before public release. The wait-list moves more than people expect: cancellations in the final 72 hours free a surprising number of stools.

What the Arc Looks Like

Seven courses composed as a single argument — raw to fire to sweet — plated ten centimetres from your glass. The menu rewrites every Tuesday around what the farms and the smokehouse produced; nothing survives the weekend intact, which is the point.

Two and a half hours, one seating at 18:30. Phones photograph freely; the kitchen considers it a compliment. What they ask is presence — the counter is dinner as theatre, and the theatre rewards attention.

The Pairing Question

The $110 pairing pours bottles most restaurants can't justify by the glass — Coravin lets the sommelier open a Jura oddity for two pours. Worth it once in your life; optional forever after. The non-alcoholic pairing, built on ferments and teas, is genuinely considered rather than a concession.

Etiquette at the Pass

Ask questions — the chefs plate facing you deliberately. Flag allergies at booking, not arrival. And arrive hungry: the bread course is a trap everyone happily falls into.
