FAQs
Parking
Parking is located at the rear of our building. Pull in through the alleyway between us and C Grace (identified by the Cat Mural). Available parking includes parallel parking alongside our building and parking on the Cortez side of the lot. Street parking is free after 5 p.m., as is neighborhood parking on local side streets.
Handicap Access
Cortez is handicap accessible. We have a side entrance that is adjacent to the alleyway.
What is the best way to make a group reservation?
For groups of 6 and larger we recommend filling out our contact form. We will get back to you shortly upon reviewing your request! Please note we have a small dining room and as such large group availability is limited. Groups of 13 and larger are typically considered a full or partial buyout, however on weekdays we are more flexible. Our sister restaurant is a great space to host groups of 20 and larger.
Seafood Aversions / Allergies
We can absolutely accommodate folks who avoid seafood due to dietary preferences and/or allergies. We change gloves and pans when accommodating a guest with an allergy. Our menu regularly features non-seafood dishes that are plant and meat based.
Oyster Happy Hour
Our Dollar OFF Oyster Happy Hour is daily from 5 to 6 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday. The happy hour pricing does not apply to our roasted/baked oysters.
Corkage Fee
We apply a $20 corkage fee per bottle of wine opened.
Cake Cutting Fee
A $3 per person fee is applied. Custom cake rates by our head Pastry Chef are available upon request.
Allergies / Dietary Restrictions
Our dishes are mostly all prepared à la minute, which means that we do our absolute best to accommodate most dietary restrictions by using clean, disinfected pans and avoiding cross-contamination. Please note your allergy to your server upon being seated so we can plan accordingly.
