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.

Do I need a reservation?

We encourage reservations, but walk-ins are always welcome. We also have approximately 10 bar seats that are available on a first-come, first-served basis, where you can enjoy a full dinner.

Do you offer a corkage policy?

Yes, corkage is $30 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’s the temperature like? Do you have AC?

Due to being located inside Mac Market—a warehouse-style building—we're unable to control the temperature of the restaurant.

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.

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. High chairs are 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 9:00 pm.

Do you close for winter holidays?

Yes, we close for two weeks during the winter holidays. We will be closed this year (2024) from Dec 23rd - Jan 7th.
