Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Excellent choice - sophisticated but not stuffy, shareable plates encourage conversation, outdoor patio adds romance, and the unique tinned fish selection is a great conversation starter
Can I get a table without a reservation? Unlikely for dinner, but bar seats often available with full menu. Best walk-in chances are weekday lunch or Sunday-Tuesday after 8:30pm
Is it kid-friendly? Not ideal for young children - no kids menu, sophisticated atmosphere, and high prices. Better for teens who appreciate seafood
Best For
Better for: Authentic New England seafood experience, best lobster roll in LA, unique tinned fish selection you won't find elsewhere on the Westside
Skip if: You're on a budget, don't eat seafood, want a quick casual meal, or need extensive vegetarian options - try Gracias Madre or Crossroads instead
