Logistics & Planning
Parking: No valet; limited street parking in TriBeCa—garage parking nearby is the safest bet after 6pm.

Noise level: Moderate to lively—conversation is easy, but the room has energy.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without a reservation, especially after 7pm.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait or minimal seating delay.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—multiple vegetable sides and a few composed starters work well as a meal.
Vegan options: Limited—best to stick to vegetable sides and confirm preparation with the server.
Gluten-free options: Yes—steaks and many sides are naturally gluten-free; staff can guide modifications.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes—it's lively and stylish without being overwhelming, making it easy to keep the energy up while still talking comfortably.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Sometimes—early evenings or late dinners work best; peak weekend hours are tougher without booking ahead.
Is it kid-friendly? Not ideal for young kids—the vibe skews adult and celebratory, better suited for teens or special occasions.
Best For
Better for: Scene-forward steak nights, bold flavors, and celebratory group dinners with a modern edge.
Skip if: You want a quiet, old-school steakhouse feel or a strictly classic, minimalist preparation.
