Logistics & Planning
Parking: Limited street parking on Mission; best to use the Bartlett Garage one block west or rideshare on weekends.
Dress code: Smart casual—collared shirts or blouses recommended; jeans fine if neat.
Noise level: Moderate—comfortable for conversation but expect lively background chatter during dinner service.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes without a reservation; book ahead for peak hours 7–8:30 p.m.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait; walk-ins seated quickly.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—offers vegetable red rice and grilled mushroom plates upon request.
Vegan options: Limited—1–2 adaptable options, but menu leans heavily on meat and seafood.
Gluten-free options: Yes—most grilled meats and sauces are naturally gluten-free; confirm sauces with server.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes—dimly lit, stylish, and relaxed enough for conversation. The Guamanian flavors make for a memorable, slightly adventurous first date setting.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Possible for early or late seatings, but prime-time weekends are booked; bar seating is a reliable backup for walk-ins.
Is it kid-friendly? Best for older kids (10+) who can appreciate the cuisine; no dedicated kids’ menu, but staff are accommodating with rice and grilled sides.
Best For
Better for: Creative island-style ribs with depth of flavor and table service polish you won’t find at typical BBQ joints.
Skip if: You’re after smoky Texas-style barbecue or large portions on a budget—this is more refined and share-plate oriented.
