We understand that planning is overrated and spontaneity is the spice of life! That's why we always keep availability for walk-ins of groups of 2 or more. Simply walk in and our friendly team will be happy to accommodate you at the door. We now take limited reservations for groups of 2 or more. Please note that while reservations provide a guaranteed table, we strive to accommodate walk-ins as much as possible. Big groups, no problem! However, during peak hours, there might be a short wait time for walk-in groups. Grab a maitai at the bar or play a game of pool while you wait - and hey, you might even meet someone new.
