Direct-confirmation checklist

  1. Is the service format I am booking (dining room, lounge, tasting, patio) the one I intend?
  2. What is the current deposit, cancellation window, and maximum party size for this seating?
  3. Can this kitchen accommodate the specific dietary restriction without converting an unknown into a guarantee?
  4. What is the step-free route, entrance, and restroom configuration for this party?
  5. What is the expected all-in cost after service charge, pairings, and supplements?
  6. Do the published hours and last seating still match the reservation time?
  7. What room, capacity, and minimums apply for this party size or private seating request?
  8. Are wine pairings, corkage, or tasting-menu beverage packages required or optional tonight?
  9. Which of the remaining unknowns materially affect this occasion, and who will confirm them before arrival?

These questions are generated from published evidence and unknowns. They are not a substitute for speaking with the restaurant.

Live-fire Haitian cooking filtered through Pacific Northwest ingredients, built for shared plates and celebration energy.

Haitian and Pacific Northwest live-fire cooking; the restaurant publishes a gluten- and dairy-free menu with a vegan path on request.

Price context: Entree prices change with the seasonal board and were not published as fixed dollar figures on the retrieved first-party pages. Official FAQs state a $40 corkage fee per 750ml bottle and a 22% service charge for parties of 5 or more.

Drinks: Cocktail-forward program with wine and beer supporting live-fire plates.

Good fit for: Celebration dinner; adventurous group meal; destination dining; shared-table experience.

Groups: Family-style sharing works well for small groups; party size is tightly tied to the booked table and cannot simply be expanded.

Atmosphere: Energetic live-fire dining room built around Haitian cooking and Pacific Northwest ingredients.

Dietary information: The entire menu is published as gluten- and dairy-free. A vegan menu is available on request, but alliums, capsaicin, and cilantro cannot be removed from much of the menu.

Physical access: Detailed physical-access route and restroom information were not stated in the reviewed first-party pages.

Book for the correct party size, review the cancellation terms, and discuss restrictions before the meal. This is dine-in only.

Parking and transit: Street parking is available on several nearby streets per the official FAQ.

Deep Dish takes the same record and answers the question you actually walked in with — whether this place fits the night you are planning, what you give up by choosing it, and what has changed since the last read.
