Accessibility Statement

We want everyone to be able to use this site and visit us in person. Here's where we stand and how to reach us if something gets in your way.

Our commitment — WCAG 2.1 Level AA

We strive to bring this website into conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA and to make our restaurant welcoming to all guests. Accessibility is ongoing work, not a finish line — if you run into a barrier, please tell us and we will do our best to help and to fix it.

1. What we do

We design and build this site with accessibility in mind, and we test and improve it over time. Steps we take include:

  • Using clear, structured headings and meaningful page landmarks so the site can be navigated with a screen reader or keyboard;
  • Providing a “skip to content” link and managing keyboard focus in interactive areas such as the main navigation;
  • Aiming for sufficient color contrast between text and its background, and not relying on color alone to convey meaning;
  • Writing descriptive labels for form fields and clear, perceivable error messages;
  • Respecting the “reduced motion” setting in your browser or device, so animations are minimized when you ask for that; and
  • Providing text alternatives for meaningful images and treating decorative graphics as decorative.

2. The standard we aim for

Our target is WCAG 2.1 Level AA. We treat that as the benchmark we work toward across the site. Because the site changes regularly and includes content and tools from outside providers, we cannot guarantee that every page or element fully meets that standard at all times. We review accessibility periodically and address issues we find or that are reported to us.

3. Known limitations

Despite our efforts, some parts of the site may not yet be fully accessible. Known areas where we are still working include:

  • Embedded third-party widgets, such as our beverage tap-list and any embedded maps or media, which are provided by outside services and not fully within our control;
  • Interactive and animated features, including decorative animations and any games or rich graphics, which may not be fully operable by every assistive technology;
  • Content from outside platforms reached through links from this site, such as online ordering and reservations; and
  • Older or user-submitted content, including some uploaded images and documents, which may lack complete text alternatives.

If you encounter a barrier in any of these areas — or anywhere else — please let us know, and we will provide the information or assistance you need through another means while we work on a fix.

4. Third-party content

This site includes services and content provided by others (for example, payment, shipping, ordering, reservation, and beverage-menu providers). We do not control the accessibility of those third-party services. Where a third-party tool presents a barrier, contact us and we will help you complete what you were trying to do through an alternative method where we reasonably can.

5. Visiting in person

We want our restaurant to be welcoming to every guest. If you have questions about accessibility at our location, or if there is something we can do to make your visit easier, please contact us in advance or speak with a manager when you arrive, and we will do our best to accommodate you.

6. Tell us about a barrier

Your feedback helps us improve. If you have trouble using any part of this site, need information in a different format, or want to report an accessibility problem, please reach out — tell us the page or feature, what happened, and how we can reach you. We aim to respond to accessibility requests promptly.
