Reservations can be conveniently made through RESY. However, please be aware that reservations for our patio are not available and seating is subject to weather conditions. For groups of eight or more, please email us to arrange your reservation. Kindly note that reservations become available two weeks in advance of the desired date at 8 AM. To ensure fairness to all guests, we offer a two-hour dining experience.
Can I make a reservation?
We always recommend booking ahead through RESY if availability permits, but we do welcome walk-ins. Just note that wait times vary as we do not operate with a waitlist, instead seating on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Do you take walk-ins?
We appreciate you keeping us informed. If you're running late or need to contact us in real time, the best way is to respond directly to your RESY confirmation text—someone from our team will get back to you shortly. Please note, we hold tables for 15 minutes past your reservation time. While we’ll do our best to accommodate late arrivals, we can’t guarantee your table after the grace period. Thank you for your understanding!
I am running late for my reservation.
Most edits can be made through your RESY account, but if you require further assistance please click here to send us an email with details on your desired changes and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
How do I adjust my reservation?
I’d like to book a group reservation or inquire on a buyout event.
We appreciate your group inquiry. Please click here to email our General Manager with more details and they will get in touch to finalize your booking. Please note we offer set menus for groups of 9 or more. Parties of 6 or more are subject to a 20% gratuity, and while our servers do their best to separate bills, we only separate up to 10 bills per group.
We understand plans can change unexpectedly. However, our cancellation policy requires any changes to be made at least 24 hours prior to your reservation time to avoid a fee of $25 per person for cancellations or no-shows. This policy helps us manage reservations and ensure fairness to all guests. You may do this online through RESY or click here to send us an email if you need assistance.

Where will we be seated if we're a party of two?.
Due to the intimate size of our space, reservations for two are usually seated at the bar. If we have availability during off-peak hours, we’ll do our best to accommodate a table. Groups of four or more are typically seated at our larger tables. Thanks for your understanding!
What are the seating arrangements for larger parties?
Our dining room is intentionally intimate, with table sizes designed for shared, coursed meals. Parties of two are typically seated at the bar, while groups of four or more are placed at our high-top tables. For parties of six or more, you’ll likely be seated in one of our cozy booths. If you think your group may need a bit more space, feel free to reach out to us at gm@cafereneebar.com—we’ll do our best to accommodate.
Guests are welcome to bring their own desserts. Please note that a $20 cake fee applies and outside desserts are self-serve at your table.

Can I bring my dog?
Please note that lap dogs are welcome on our patio, and service animals are permitted indoors.
Are kids allowed in the venue?
Minors are permitted until 9pm. Please note our seating primarily consists of high-top bar stools and that booth seating is limited.
