Reservations
THURSDAY-SUNDAY STARTING AT 5:00pm
Call 434.476.6265 to reserve your table.
If you have a specific time you’d like to dine we recommend calling a week in advance, but if you are flexible on the time you can often get a reservation the same day.
While we are only open Thursday-Sunday we are in our offices at least a few hours every day.
Please do not wait to call for your reservation- leave a message with your request and we will call you back within 24 hours to confirm.
Half of our available bar stools are available to reserve each night- the rest are first come first serve.
We are no longer requiring credit card information to hold reservations for parties smaller than ten guests

Private Dining
Houston Room
Our private dining room holds up to 22 guests comfortably, with a maximum capacity of 24.
We can offer a few different table configurations to best serve your guests.
There is no fee to reserve the entire room, however there is a minimum required. Full details can be found in our Reservation Agreement, which we will happily send you.
Just send an email to dine@molassesgrill.com requesting a Reservation Agreement and the date you are interested in. After you look over the document our owner or events manager will personally see to planning all of the details of your function.
For those who have a smaller group just looking for a quieter place but who don’t mind if other diners also sit in the same room, simply call to make a reservation. If no group has reserved the room we will gladly accommodate your request.
Artist’s Cellar
Our semi-private downstairs area holds up to 10 guests. Perfect for business meetings, rowdy nights with friends, groups with small children, or just those looking for a little peace and quiet.
There is no fee or minimum to book this area.
It should be noted that while there is parking and an entrance on this level, there is no bathroom so guests may need to use stairs.
This area also leads to our prep kitchen, offices, and wine cellar, so while you will be the only guests, staff members may occasionally need to pass through the area.
Restaurant Rental
We will gladly open for your group on a date or time we are not normally in operation.
When booking the entire restaurant we can offer sit down dinners, buffets, appetizer receptions, or a mix. We can also facilitate audio/visual needs.
There is no minimum number of guests to reserve the entire restaurant, only a minimum amount to be reached in food and beverage. Full details can be found in our Reservation Agreement, which we will happily send you.
Just send an email to dine@molassesgrill.com requesting a Reservation Agreement and the date you are interested in. After you look over the document our owner or events manager will personally see to planning all of the details of your function.
Restaurant Rental is not available during our normal hours of operation Thursday-Sunday.
