FAQ

What does it cost?

$125 per person for Chef Vitor's family-style menu, or $150 with all 3 mains. Drinks are ordered from our bar as you go. A 20% gratuity, distributed in full to our staff, is added to the bill, and tax is not included.

What's on the menu?

Three different starters for the table, then you choose one vegetais, 2 of our 3 mains (or all 3) and one dessert, plus a brigadeiro for every guest. Every dish is shared, with portions sized to the number of guests in your party. See the menu (opens in a new tab).

How many guests can the room host?

7 to 10 guests. For 6 or fewer, book a table on Resy (opens in a new tab). For more than 10, email contact@iara.nyc and we'll let you know what's possible.

Which nights and times are available?

Tuesday to Saturday, with seatings at 5:00 or 8:00 PM.

Is anything charged when I book?

No. Saving a card holds the room. Changes and cancellations are free up to 48 hours before your dinner. After that, cancellations, no-shows and guests removed from the party are charged $50 per person.

Our headcount isn't final yet. Is that OK?

Yes. Request with your best estimate, and you can update your guest count on your private page up to 48 hours before your dinner.

Can you accommodate allergies?

Yes. Tell us in your request and we plan around every allergy. The menu marks dishes that are vegan (or can be made vegan) and dishes made without gluten ingredients. Our kitchen also handles gluten, so we can't guarantee against cross-contact.
