Logistics & Planning
Parking: Valet service is offered at the RH complex for around $15; limited metered street parking nearby fills quickly after 6pm. Ride-share drop-off is the most reliable option.
Dress code: Smart casual leaning upscale—dresses, blazers, or elevated denim work fine. Many guests dress to match the elegant setting for photos.
Noise level: Moderate—buzzing energy in the atrium but conversation is comfortable at most tables, quieter during lunch.
Weekend wait: Book at least a week ahead; walk-ins often face 60–90 minute waits.
Weekday lunch: Usually seated promptly if arriving before noon; short waits during peak lunch hours.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—several composed salads, vegetable sides, and pastas are naturally vegetarian.
Vegan options: Limited—can adapt a few items like salads or roasted vegetables upon request.
Gluten-free options: Yes—staff can guide selections; many mains like the rotisserie chicken are naturally gluten-free.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes—its grand design, attentive service, and flattering lighting make it a standout setting for an impressive first date.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Occasionally at off-peak hours, but weekend brunch and dinner usually require advance booking. Try the bar or lounge for spontaneous visits.
Is it kid-friendly? Not particularly—it’s more adult-oriented and formal. Older kids may enjoy the spectacle, but there are no high chairs or kids’ menu.
Best For
Better for: Ideal for design lovers, celebratory brunches, and anyone seeking a show-stopping space with polished service.
Skip if: You prefer casual comfort or value-focused dining—this is more about atmosphere and presentation than innovation or portion size.
