The Terrace · separate à la carte menu
An open-air dinner with fish dip ($14), akara ($18), poulet maafé ($32) and curry fish ($40), among other choices. These are separate orders, not included tasting courses. The terrace also serves chicken; its menu differs from the pescatarian dining room.
Dietary needs
Contact the restaurant at least 72 hours ahead. Finfish stock runs through rice and soup. The tasting cannot accommodate finfish, soy, allium, honey, tomato or shellfish-aroma/fume restrictions, or vegan, vegetarian and kosher diets. Shellfish allergies may be accommodated with advance notice.
Choose the right reservation
Dining-room bookings are prepaid and nonrefundable; one reschedule may be requested at least two weeks ahead, subject to availability, or the booking transferred. The terrace instead has a $25-per-person late-cancellation/no-show charge within 24 hours. Both areas are cashless.
