Reservations!

Wednesday, January 1st
Thursday, January 2nd

Indoor (dining room & bar) reservations go live each morning at 10am for up to two weeks out. For example on a Wednesday reservations will become available for the Wednesday in two weeks time. Patio reservations are booked differently, please see the Patio Info! section below.

Each reservation time specifies either Dining Room - Indoors (our dining room) or Bar (indoor bar seating) or Patio (outdoors) when you book your reservation. When you join us we will ONLY be able to honor the reservation you booked. We can accommodate parties of 1-8 guests in our dining room, parties of 1-4 on our patio, and parties of 1-2 at our bar. Our availability for parties of seven and eight is extremely limited and typically only available Sunday-Thursday. Please reach out via email to check on availability for parties of seven and eight. There will be a time limit of 2.5 hours for all of our reservations.

Unfortunately, we can not seat parties larger than eight. We are not be able to combine reservations to make one larger party. If you are looking to book for a party of 9-16 guests, our sibling restaurant Reveler’s Hour can seat larger parties.

A credit card is required to confirm your booking. If you need to cancel, we ask that you do so by 5:00pm the day prior to your reservation. Cancellations made after 5:00 PM the day prior to your reservation, day of bookings that are cancelled the same day as the reservation, and no-shows will be charged a $25/person cancellation fee.

Bar Info!
We take reservations for 1-2 guests at the main bar. We have four additional bar seats in the “nook” that are available first come, first serve daily. The bar offers both our six course dinner menu or an a la carte menu.

Walk-In Info!
We do our best to accommodate walk-ins and it’s always worth popping in if you are in the neighborhood. We tend to have more flexibility and shorter wait times Monday through Thursday & Sunday evenings. Our wait times are often shortest earlier or later in the evenings.

Patio Info! - Open when weather allows, check RESY for availability - Patio reservations open for booking on Sunday for the upcoming week.
Our streatery is located on a shady, tree lined, one way street in front of the restaurant. We have bug spray and citronella candles available for our guests, but can not control when DC’s mosquitos choose to make their presence known. Our patio has some protection from the elements, but in the event of rainy weather we will close the patio. If you are booking for a special occasion we encourage you to book indoors so you won’t be disappointed if the weather doesn’t cooperate and your reservation is canceled. The patio closes promptly at 11pm each evening to ensure we are being good neighbors. We take reservations for 1-4 guests on the patio. Requests on an indoor reservation to move outside cannot be honored and vice versa. The patio offers both our six course dinner menu or an a la carte menu. We don’t have heaters on the patio. Bring a layer for when the sun goes down!

A few things worth noting:

  • We can be tricky to find! Our address is 1827 Adams Mill Road NW, but our entrance in on the Lanier Place side of the building. We’re right behind Compass Coffee.

  • Reservations may be cancelled up until 5:00pm the day prior to your reservation. Cancellations made after 5:00 PM the day prior to your reservation, day of bookings that are cancelled the same day as the reservation, and no-shows will be charged a $25/person cancellation fee.

  • We can not accommodate strollers in our intimate dining room, but do have high chairs available for kiddos.
    Please count your kiddo in your guest count. Our tables for two can not accommodate a high chair for a kiddo plus two adults.

  • We can always accommodate someone who has a nut allergy, shellfish allergy, avoids gluten or is vegetarian, pescetarian or vegan. If you have compound restrictions or other allergies please reach out in advance of booking your reservation so we can confirm we can accommodate you. The best way to reach us is via email hello@tailupgoat.com.

  • We can seat parties up to eight in our dining room, parties up to four on our patio, and parties up to two at our bar.

  • There is a time limit of two and half hours for all of our reservations.

  • Parking in Adams Morgan is extremely difficult. We recommend using Uber or public transportation when you join us. There is limited paid parking in the neighborhood which can be found in a small lot located in the alley behind our building and a larger lot a few blocks south of us on 18th Street. These lots charge $30 for parking. If you do drive we recommend factoring in extra time to find parking.

  • If you are trying to make a reservation but there's no availability, please add yourself to the waitlist. RESY will send you an alert when a cancellation occurs.

  • A 20% service fee will be added to your bill. The entirety of these charges is retained by Tail Up Goat, of which 100% is distributed to all non-management employees in the form of wages and benefits. We believe this compensation model creates equity, stability and consistency for all employees across our kitchen and dining room. We have included an optional tip line, should you choose to acknowledge exceptional hospitality. Tips go into a tip-pool and are distributed amongst all hourly employees who work throughout the day to create your dining experience. Thank you for the continued support of our team and of Tail Up Goat.
