Creator-verifiedSource: Venue seating policy, confirmed
I read this place in two halves. The food I judge on track record — years of covers, what people order twice. The room I read tonight, and tonight only: the hum and the seating are a live signal, so treat that as my inference, not a promise.
Two people, no hurry, somewhere to sit after the plates go.
Reservations are simulated for now — I'll tell you honestly when a table is really held.
