PATIO SEASON HAS ARRIVED! ☀️🐑⛱️
Today marks our first patio day of 2024! As a reminder, here are a few notes on our Rooftop Patio service:

1. Our Rooftop Patio isn’t covered, so service up top is always weather permitting! If it’s warm and sunny, you can probably bet we’ll be open - but if you’re not sure, feel free to give us a call and ask! (DMs aren’t always the quickest way to reach us)

2. The Rooftop Patio is full service, and same menu as inside! BUT, unlike inside, you can’t reserve the patio. Seating outside is first-come, first-serve.

3. It’s still early in the season here in Halifax, and it still gets pretty chilly when the sun goes down! The patio will likely only be open during the daytime for the next few weeks until things really heat up.

4. Access to our Rooftop Patio is through the restaurant and up a few flights of stairs - therefore our patio is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible, nor is it dog-friendly. Service animals are permitted with proper identification.

If you have a question we haven’t covered, reach out! ☀️
