The Taverna table

Request
a spot.

This table is small, so a request is not yet a reservation. Tell us who’s coming; we’ll follow up at the primary email if there’s room.

Draft preview — submissions are not being sent yet.

You may bring up to two guests. The requester is the primary contact and, if invited, receives one Taverna payment request covering everyone in the reservation. Each paid dinner place includes the full menu, dinner drinks, and After Dark admission.

The archive will begin here after the first collaboration—photographs, menus, and the parts of the night worth remembering.
