7.8
A Mediterranean-leaning room that runs a weekend daytime service when you want a sit-down brunch with a more “restaurant” feel than a café. It’s strongest when you lean into seafood and shareables rather than trying to force it into a classic eggs-only mold.

Chilled oysters, Avocado flatbread, Skirt steak

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, especially if you want a polished but relaxed brunch—sharing plates helps break the ice without feeling rushed.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Often yes if you arrive early, but reservations are smart for weekend peak times or groups of four or more.
Is it kid-friendly? Better for older kids who can sit through a longer meal; it’s more of a dining room than a quick brunch café.
Best For
Better for: Sit-down, seafood-leaning brunches with a restaurant-level vibe and shareable plates.
Skip if: You want classic egg-heavy brunch or a fast, casual café experience.

8.1
A polished, cocktail-forward room that leans Mediterranean/New American, best when you order with intent and let the kitchen do the heavy lifting. The pet-friendly patio is the move when you want a nicer-feeling meal but still need the flexibility of outdoor seating with your dog.
Must-Try Dishes:
Braised oxtail, Branzino, Truffle fries
Scores:
Value: 7.1
Service: 8.1
Consistency: 7.8
Food Quality: 8.4
Atmosphere: 8.3
Cultural Relevance: 7.4
What makes it special: An elevated patio dinner option that keeps the vibe upscale without being precious.
Who should go: Date nights with a dog in tow
When to visit: Weeknight dinner for easier tables
What to order: Oxtail, branzino, truffle fries
Insider tip: Order one rich plate and one lighter seafood plate for balance.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Metered street parking nearby is limited and fills quickly after 6pm; paid garages within a few blocks are the more reliable option.
Dress code: Smart casual—jeans are fine, but lean polished if you’re coming for dinner or cocktails.
Noise level: Moderate to lively—easy to hold a conversation, with a bit more buzz during peak dinner hours.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes without a reservation, shorter if you’re flexible on patio seating
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait most days
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—several vegetable-forward starters and mains that feel intentional, not like afterthoughts.
Vegan options: Limited—expect a couple of adaptable dishes rather than a fully vegan lineup.
Gluten-free options: Yes—naturally gluten-free seafood and meat dishes available; staff is accommodating with modifications.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes—it reads polished and intentional without feeling stiff, and the patio setup helps keep things relaxed.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Often yes on weeknights or earlier in the evening; weekends are tougher unless you’re open to waiting or sitting outside.
Is it kid-friendly? Better for adults—there’s no kids menu and the vibe skews date-night rather than family dinner.
Best For
Better for: Upscale-feeling patio dinners where cocktails and plating matter, especially if you’re bringing a dog.
Skip if: You want a casual, quick meal or a loud, high-energy bar scene—this place rewards slower pacing and intentional ordering.
