72 seats · three rooms
Pick the room for the night you are actually having.
Dock looks at the harbour and waits for nobody. Salt sits three steps down and lets a six-top talk. Private is twelve chairs and a door. Same kitchen, same menu, different sound. We will honour a room preference when we can; Friday at 19:00 we usually cannot.
Dock Room
28 seats against the warehouse glass.
This is the room on the postcard, which is why it is the room people fight over. South wall, original warehouse windows, two-tops along the sill and a four at the corner that sees the ferry come in. In July the light hangs around until 21:00. In November you eat inside a cloud and that is the point.
Book Dock if you are two to four and the harbour is why you came. Do not book Dock if you need to talk through a contract or a family argument — the street still exists, and so do the gulls. Weekend seatings here run behind. James from Halifax wrote it on Google in February 2026: the wait for the window is real even with a reservation. We seat you when the last table leaves, not when the clock says we should.
- Capacity
- 28 · mostly two-tops, two fours
- Book when
- Sunset, first dates, out-of-towners, July through October
- Skip when
- You need quiet, a wheelchair (it is step-free — that is Salt’s problem), or a party larger than four
- Access
- Step-free from Upper Water Street
If you write “window please” we will try. We will not promise table 4. The honest move is an 17:00 Friday booking, not 19:00.
Salt Room
32 seats on the old packing floor.
Three steps down from the Dock. Stone, lower ceiling, no view to negotiate. Callum prefers this room for a six-top that came to eat, not to photograph the water. The music is lower. The service is the same. You can hear the person across from you explain why they still live in Bedford.
This is the room for birthdays that are not a surprise, for the table of eight from the office that does not want a private buyout, and for Sunday brunch when Dock is already a queue of walk-ins pretending they had a booking. Parties of nine to twelve usually land here if Private is taken — we will split you across two tables rather than squeeze you into Dock.
- Capacity
- 32 · fours and sixes, one eight
- Book when
- Conversation, groups of four to eight, Sunday brunch, winter
- Skip when
- The window is the whole reason you came
- Access
- Three steps down. No lift into Salt. Dock is the step-free room.
Dress is still smart casual. Salt is quieter, not casual. We turned a couple away in shorts in October; Helen mentioned it in her review, and she was right to.
Private dining
Twelve seats behind the wine wall. Minimum $1,200.
The old counting office. One table, a door that shuts, the harbour still audible through the brick. You eat the house menu — no banquet cards, no plated “choice of chicken or fish.” The vegetarian kohlrabi is always on. Imani can send a cake if you give her forty-eight hours; she will not write names in chocolate.
The food-and-beverage minimum is $1,200 before tax and gratuity. Priya’s table of twelve cleared it on wine and the plateau in November; a table of six that only wanted the haddock will not. We do not do AV, projectors, or balloon arches. Sable runs the room. Bookings three weeks out for Friday and Saturday. A deposit holds the date.
- Capacity
- 12 seated · one table
- Minimum
- $1,200 food and beverage, before 15% HST
- Cancel
- 72 hours, or the minimum is charged
- Access
- Warehouse lift from the lane — tell Sable when you book
Email [email protected] with the date, the headcount, and whether anyone cannot eat shellfish. The online form is for the dining rooms; Private is a conversation.
House rules for the rooms
What we will not rearrange for a booking.
We do not combine Dock and Salt into one party. We do not move a six into the window wall. We do not hold a four-top past fifteen minutes on a Friday. High chairs exist — two of them — and they live in Salt. If you need the lift for Private, write it in the dietary box or email Sable; the form does not magically tell the lane.
Large parties pay 18% gratuity. Corkage is $35 a bottle if Hana has nothing you will drink, which is rare. Birthday candles are fine; sparklers are not. The room is 72 seats, not a hall.
