BOOKINGS
Are bookings essential?
Bookings are recommended, but not essential. If your group is larger than 2, walk in spots are very limited.
How long is my booking?
Bookings for 2 before 4pm are 1.5hrs. All other bookings are 2hrs. If you would like to stay longer, we would love to have you, give us a call on 6288 7876 for an extended sitting.
We do allow extra time for our larger groups so everyone is comfortable & not feeling rushed throughout the sitting.
What is the difference between Hightop Seating & Restaurant Seating?
We have two types of seating options. Hightop tables with stools & restaurant seating with low standard chairs/booth seating (for larger groups). If you have any further questions, please give us a call on 6288 7876 or send us an email at barwaizakaya@gmail.com
Why can't I edit my booking online?
You are able to make some changes online, but if we are unable to accommodate those new changes (for example: earlier or later sitting time, table capacity or last minute cancellations) it is best to give us a call.
​Do you have outdoor seating?
All bookings are for tables indoors, we do not reserve our outdoor tables due to Tasmania’s unpredictable weather.
Are we able to walk-in without a booking?
We do take walk ins. The walk in spaces operate on a ‘first in best dressed’ system. We do not reserve them. There is no ‘good’ time to get a walk in space, it is completely random and up to chance. Everyday is different. You just turn up and try your luck.
​Can we bring the kids?
Children are welcome.
Do you take group bookings?
You are able to book for groups up to 15 guests online via our website. For groups over 15, we ask that you give us a call or send us an email to make a reservation.
For all necessary information in regards to catering and what we offer our larger groups will be sent via email.
