Frequently Asked
Questions

Graduation Weekend Reservations

For Graduation Weekend (May 9th-10th), we will begin accepting reservations at 12am on April 9th through Resy; we will not be accepting reservations prior to April 9th for graduation weekend. With our restaurant being a small and intimate space, we are not accepting parties larger than 5. Parties of 5 will be accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis as space is extremely limited. Please email hello@lallandemadison.com to inquire about parties of 5.

What are your hours?

We open at 4pm on Wednesday through Saturday, with our last seating at 9pm. 

can you accommodate allergy requests?

While we are very mindful of our practices, we are not a strictly gluten-free, dairy-free, or nut-free restaurant, so there is always risk for cross-contamination. We use responsibly sourced, farm-to-table ingredients, and advance preparations often include gluten and dairy. For guests with allium sensitivity, there are garlic and onions in most of our savory preparations, and we cannot guarantee available options from our menu. Our team cares deeply about providing excellent experiences for all of our customers, and our educated team will be sure to help you navigate the menu during your visit.

Can I make a reservation for a party larger than 5?

We do our very best to accommodate as many parties as possible. Our restaurant is a small, intimate space with only 12 tables, so we are not accepting parties larger than 5 at this time. Parties of 5 are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please email hello@lallandemadison.com to inquire for availability.

Can I rent Lallande for private events?

Thank you for your interest in Lallande! We are not offering options at this time for a restaurant buyout or private events. We recommend inquiring with our friends at the Harvey House as they offer a variety of packages for events/buyouts.

The reservation time I want is not available. Do you have any openings?

If you do not see the reservation time you’d like, then we do not have any openings at that time. You can either select an alternative time for the evening you’d like to join us for dinner, or we recommend adding yourself to our “Notify” list. If a table does cancel, then Resy will reach out to you directly to complete your reservation!

I’d like to make a reservation 3 months from now. Why are those dates crossed off on Resy?

We begin accepting reservations 30 days in advance through Resy. If the day is crossed off, then that day is not available yet to begin accepting reservations.

Do you take walk-ins?

We strongly encourage making reservations for both our dining room and kitchen bar seats to guarantee a table as we are a small, intimate space. We do our very best to accommodate walk-ins as we can, but many of our tables are for reservations.

Can I have a drink at the bar while I wait for my table?

We kindly ask that you arrive at your reservation time, as space is extremely limited to wait around before your table is ready. Our bar seats are reserved for dinner service as well, so we recommend stopping by one of our other neighbors down the street for a pre-dinner drink!

Do I need a reservation to sit at the bar?

Our kitchen bar seats are reservations in addition to the dining room and are typically the first to book up! Our bar is a Chef’s Table as you get a front row seat to our open kitchen and get to watch our talented team prepare your meal. When making your reservation, you can select “Kitchen Bar Seat” to secure your reservation at our bar. Seats typically open around 8:30pm for walk-in availability.

Do you have a corkage fee?

At this time, we do not allow outside wines to be brought in. We offer a diverse selection of European wines on our beverage menu. Our servers will be happy to provide recommendations based on your preferences as well.

Where do I park?

We have many free parking options on side streets surrounding Lallande, particularly on Grant and Harrison Street. There are metered spots (free after 6pm) in front of Lallande on Monroe Street. We do not have a separate parking lot behind the restaurant.

How can I purchase a gift card?

We have a couple different options for purchasing a gift card! You can either purchase an e-gift card online; if you would prefer a physical gift card, you can come into the restaurant between 4-10p on Wednesday through Saturday, or email hello@lallandemadison.com to coordinate an alternative time to come in during the day.
