Frequently Asked Questions

What varieties of fresh oysters can I expect to find on the menu?

Yes! The menu features an extensive raw bar selection highlighting hyper-local Pacific Northwest oysters from growers like Hama Hama Oyster Co. and Chelsea Farms, typically priced around $5.50 each with happy hour discounts available.

Are the dishes portioned as heavy main courses or shareable small plates?

While portion sizes are intentionally designed for sharing and light grazing rather than heavy individual entrées, standout favorites include the Hama Hama Clams in corn bisque, Scallop Crudo, and the signature Steak Tartare.

Does the restaurant accommodate gluten-free dietary preferences?

Yes, many items on the Pantry, Garden, and Cheese menus—such as the Marinated Olives, charred vegetable small plates, and artisanal farm cheeses—are naturally gluten-free.

What should I know about the service charge included on the bill?

The restaurant includes an inclusive service charge on checks, which is thoughtfully implemented to support sustainable living wages and staff benefits.
