Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Great for a fun, high-energy first date if you want a lively scene and conversation starters; less ideal if you prefer quiet, intimate conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, but expect a wait at peak dinner hours. Walk-ins fare better earlier in the evening or if open to bar or patio seating.
Is it kid-friendly? Acceptable for older kids who enjoy bold flavors, but the loud room and nightlife energy make it less suited for young children or strollers.
Best For
Better for: Perfect for stylish, plant-based group dinners with a social vibe, strong cocktails, and visually striking plates.
Skip if: Skip if you want a quiet meal, traditional proteins, or a low-key marina experience without the scene.
