The saloon serves drinks and the full menu, but it cannot be reserved. Limited outdoor places are also offered to walk-up guests in good weather; keep a confirmed indoor table as your plan when timing matters.\n\nRestaurant bookings open on a rolling 90-day basis. Groups of eight to fourteen can reserve the private room online with the à la carte menu. Check the menu, seating time and cancellation terms for the booking you select, and tell the restaurant about dietary or access needs before the day.
