What are your hours?

We are open Wednesday through Saturday for dinner only. We’re serving summer Apéro (happy hour) from 3-5 through August 30th.

Is the menu à la carte or a tasting menu?

We offer both an á la carte menu and tasting menu, called “Kickback”. For parties of six or more, we require all guests to participate in our “Kickback”—our family-style tasting experience. This experience is $89 per guest and includes approximately seven savory dishes plus dessert. Parties if six or more receive an automatic service charge of 20%.

Do I need a reservation?

We encourage reservations, but walk-ins are always welcome. We also have a beautiful bar with 14 seats that are available on a first-come, first-served basis, where you can enjoy a full dinner. Reservations are open 60 days in advance.

Do you offer a corkage policy?

Yes, corkage is $35 per 750ml bottle. If you purchase a bottle from our menu along with bringing your own, we’ll waive one corkage fee.

Can you accommodate large groups or full buy-outs?

We love hosting groups! For reservations larger than 10 guests or to discuss a full buy-out, please reach out to us at hello@haywardrestaurant.com.

What is your gratuity policy?

For parties 6 or more we add an automatic 20% gratuity.

What’s the temperature like? Do you have AC?

We have AC and beautiful garage doors that can open when the weather is nice.

Do you offer outdoor seating?

Yes, we do, but only during the summer until late September or early October. We provide a few heat lamps to keep you cozy. Please note if you book a reservation in our garden, we may not be able to relocate you due to inclement weather.

How often does your menu change?

Our menu changes regularly, based on the availability of fresh, seasonal produce from our farmers.

Are you family-friendly? Do you have high chairs or space for strollers?

While we strive to accommodate families, please note that our restaurant’s atmosphere is more suited for adults and may not be ideal for young children. We don’t have a dedicated kids’ menu, but we’re happy to offer simple options like buttered noodles for younger guests. Our dining room is cozy, with limited space for strollers, so we’ll gladly store them at the hostess stand. We have one high chair that is available upon request.

Do you have parking?

There is street parking available nearby.

Are you dog-friendly?

Dogs are welcome in our outdoor seating area. Inside we cannot allow dogs unless they certified service animals.

Are you open for lunch?

No, we are only open for dinner service, Wednesday through Saturday, from 5:00 pm to 8:30 pm. For the summer of 2025, we are open for Apéro which is our happy hour from 3pm-5pm every day we’re open. There is a small food menu available during this time and it’s wholly unique from our dinner offerings.

Do you close for winter holidays?

Yes, we close for two weeks during the winter holidays. We will be closed this year (2025) from Dec 23rd - Jan 6th. We are also closed the entire week of Thanksgiving. We will be hosting a special Holiday Market and Open-House on Wednesday, November 25th from 12-5. Join our mailing list and don’t miss out on Thanksgiving pre-orders!
