Insider tip: Bar seats release day-of; join the waitlist for late slots.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Valet service available most evenings ($12); limited street parking on Rose Avenue fills quickly after 6pm.
Dress code: Smart casual with a polished edge—dark jeans or slacks and a button-up or dress are ideal.
Noise level: Moderate—conversation-friendly but lively near the bar; patio offers a calmer tone.
Weekend wait: 45–60 minutes without a reservation; bar seating sometimes opens for walk-ins.
Weekday lunch: N/A—dinner-only service most days; minimal wait on early weeknights.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—strong sides like roasted mushrooms, salads, and grilled artichokes available.
Vegan options: Minimal—menu focuses on meat and dairy, but the kitchen can adjust some sides on request.
Gluten-free options: Yes—several entrées and sides are naturally gluten-free; kitchen notes cross-contact risks.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes—dim lighting, polished service, and strong cocktails create an intimate but unstuffy setting perfect for a first or second date.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Sometimes—arrive before 6:30pm or try bar seating; they often release a few tables to walk-ins later in the evening.
Is it kid-friendly? Not ideal—geared toward adults with a moody room and steakhouse pacing; older teens may fit, but younger children won’t find a dedicated menu.
Best For
Better for: Top-tier steak execution and atmosphere in a more approachable setting than downtown luxury steakhouses.
Skip if: You want seafood-heavy menus, large group seating, or ultra-quiet fine dining—this spot is lively and focused on meat.
