Georgian cooking

Walnuts are at the heart of Georgian cooking. Georgian cooks have traditionally used them to enrich sauces, spreads, and fillings, so many of our dishes contain nuts. Because they are part of so many of our recipes, our kitchen is not nut free, and there is a significant risk of cross-contact. If you or a guest has a nut allergy or any other food allergy, please tell your server before you order so we can walk you through the menu.

Dietary labels: Vegetarian Vegan on request Gluten friendly on request
Dishes marked “on request” can be prepared vegan or gluten friendly only when you ask your server at the time you order. Gluten friendly means made without gluten ingredients, but our kitchen also handles gluten, so these dishes are not gluten free. Our desserts are not gluten free. Please tell your server about any food allergies or dietary needs.
