We are now serving our Japan menu through April 26th, 2026. Join us in 2026 and explore grace, greed, and glam. Learn more at nextrestaurant.com/2026-menus .

We offer four pairing options when dining in. Standard wine pairings consist of wines chosen to complement our multi-course tasting menu. Reserve pairings are predominately vintage and rare wines focusing on small niche producers in classical regions. Our Ultra pairing consists of the rarest wines from our collection, with only limited availability. Our famous non-alcoholic pairings are blended daily from fresh fruits, vegetables, teas, and other non-alcoholic ingredients. All guests partaking in the wine program must enjoy the same level of pairing, however, not all guests need to purchase a wine pairing. Guests are welcome to enjoy non-alcoholic pairings by adding them when they dine even if other guests are experiencing our wine program. We also have a full wine list available onsite for by the bottle or by the glass consumption. Typically we do not serve beer and cocktails a la carte, although they may be part of our pairing progression.

We utilize a dynamic pricing system. Lower demand nights and times are priced less than higher demand nights. For example, a booking late on a Wednesday night is normally priced lower than a Saturday night at prime time. There is, however, no difference in the food served or the quality of your experience. Please visit our booking page https://www.exploretock.com/next for exact pricing.

At Next, we try to make the fewest number of changes possible when accommodating dietary restrictions so that our guests may enjoy the menu as Chef Achatz originally envisioned. We cannot make substitutions for aversions, as this will compromise the integrity of the experience. For our Japan menu, we are not able to accommodate any restrictions during the first two weeks, from January 21st - February 3rd. We can make accommodations for the below common dietary restrictions starting on February 4th with 72 hours notice. - Pescatarian - No red meat/no pork - No seafood - Ovo-lacto vegetarian (eggs and dairy must be OK) - No raw alcohol (vinegar and alcohol cooked off in prep must be OK) - No tree nuts/no peanuts - Pregnancy restrictions - Gluten (gluten free soy sauce available) We are not able to omit the following items from the Japan experience: - Egg - Dairy - Alcohol cooked off in prep - Soy Given the complexity of our kitchens and menus, we do our best to accommodate mild allergies but we do not work in a nut, gluten, or allergen-free environment. Additionally, there are no precautions we can take to ensure that every food item has been handled in an allergen-free environment by our purveyors during the packing and distribution process. For this reason, please note that we cannot accommodate guests where cross-contamination can trigger a reaction.

At Alinea Group Restaurants, we include a 20% service charge as part of your experience. The service charge ensures that all of our employees are paid a fair wage and receive benefits all year long.
