We have six seats at the bar that face directly into the pass, and a small but loyal group of regulars who book them on purpose, alone, roughly once a week. If you've never eaten out solo, or you've only ever done it apologetically at a corner table, here's the case for trying the bar instead.
You get the best view in the house
The bar seats look straight onto the grill and the plating station. You'll watch dishes come together in real time, catch the exact moment a steak comes off the fire to rest, and pick up on small technique details you'd never notice from a regular table.
Pacing is entirely up to you
Solo dinners at the bar tend to move at whatever speed you want. Order one dish and a glass of wine and take an hour over it, or work through three smaller plates back to back — either way, nobody's watching the clock on your behalf, and our bar staff are used to reading which one you're in the mood for.
"Some of our best regulars are tables of one. They just happen to be sitting at the bar."
What we'd recommend
Start with the bruschetta or the cured salmon, move into the wood-grilled sirloin or the ragù depending on your mood, and let the bartender talk you into a Smoked Old Fashioned if you haven't tried one. No booking required for the bar — just walk in.
