Logistics & Planning
Parking: Metered street parking along Admiralty Way plus a shared surface lot behind the plaza; spots are generally available but fill during peak marina dinner hours.
Dress code: Casual and polished-casual both fit; most diners arrive in everyday wear from offices or the waterfront.
Noise level: Moderate with steady counter-service flow; easy to hold a conversation at tables without shouting.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes during peak rush, especially for dine-in seating.
Weekday lunch: Usually 0–10 minutes, with quick turnover even when lines are present.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: A few options including grilled cheese and fries; limited but workable.
Vegan options: Very limited; fries are the main option and burgers cannot be fully vegan.
Gluten-free options: Gluten-free bun available on request; fries are typically safe but confirm day-of.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes if you want a relaxed, modern fast-casual setting with high-quality food; not ideal if you want a slower, more romantic sit-down feel.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—it's counter-service with open seating. Arrive slightly early during peak dinner hours for best odds of snagging a table inside.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids who enjoy classic burgers and fries; limited menu variety means picky young eaters may need simpler orders.
Best For
Better for: Beef quality, mustard-grilled technique, and consistent execution of wagyu patties compared to most fast-casual competitors in the Marina.
Skip if: You want broad menu variety, plant-based burgers, or a full-service dining experience with longer linger time.
