Logistics & Planning
Parking: Valet offered most evenings ($15); limited metered spots nearby; garages at 2nd & Brannan or Townsend & Lusk fill quickly on game nights.
Dress code: Smart casual—dark denim or slacks with a collared shirt or chic top; dressier crowd on weekends.
Noise level: Moderate to lively—comfortable for conversation early, turns energetic in the lounge later.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without a reservation; the downstairs bar sometimes seats walk-ins.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait; tables open until around 1:00 pm.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—salads, vegetable starters, and customizable mains available.
Vegan options: Limited—some small plates can be modified; best to inform staff ahead.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes—its moody lighting, dramatic architecture, and polished service create an impressive yet relaxed vibe ideal for early-stage dates.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Possible at the bar or lounge, especially on weekdays; reservations recommended for weekends or before events at Oracle Park.
Is it kid-friendly? Not particularly—more of an adult, cocktail-driven crowd; older teens are fine, but it’s not suited for small children.
Best For
Better for: Design ambiance, pre-event cocktails, and upscale SoMa dining with a social buzz.
Skip if: You want a quiet meal or family-style comfort food—opt for nearby American comfort spots instead.
