Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve gathered answers to the most common questions so you can focus on what matters—enjoying the experience.

EXPERIENCE OVERVIEW

  • Plan for approximately 2.5 to 3 hours total. We begin with welcome bites in the lounge from 6-6:30pm, followed by an approximately 2 hour meal at the tasting counter, ending with a final dessert course and drink back in the lounge.

  • The menu typically includes a series of welcome bites, followed by 7 savory courses and 2 desserts (*please note the menu is continuously evolving, and these numbers may vary).

  • Yes. Beverage pairings are built into the experience and curated to enhance each course. Choose between our “One” pairing (wine, cocktails, and more) or a spirit-free pairing made with the same care and creativity.

  • No—One is a no-decision dining experience. Our team creates one menu nightly, allowing you to relax and trust the journey.

  • The full experience—including the tasting menu and beverage pairings—is $275 per person, plus tax and gratuity.

  • We’ve welcomed some adventurous young eaters before! While the experience is designed with adults in mind, children who are curious, open to trying new things, and able to sit for a 2-3 hour meal at a counter are absolutely welcome. Feel free to reach out if you’re wondering whether it’s the right fit for your family. (*We do not offer a children’s menu, or any dish options apart from our single tasting menu.)

DIETARY ACCOMODATIONS

  • Due to the nature of our set menu, we are not currently able to accommodate vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian or gluten-free diners.

  • We do our best to accommodate allergies and restrictions with advance notice, though due to the nature of our set menu, some limitations may apply. (For example, we are not able to accommodate allium, nightshade, soy, mushroom, or butter allergies.).
