What to order: Grilled Chilean sea bass, truffle uni pasta, garlic noodles.
Insider tip: Book a later reservation to catch the patio at its liveliest and linger over cocktails.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Metered street parking along 3rd Street and the surrounding residential blocks; spaces turn over often but can be tight after 7pm. No dedicated lot.
Dress code: Smart casual. Most guests lean trendy—think jeans with a nice top, casual dresses, or elevated streetwear.
Noise level: Moderate to loud during peak hours, especially with the open-front design. Not ideal for intimate, quiet conversations.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without a reservation, especially after 7:30pm.
Weekday lunch: Minimal wait; usually seated immediately or within 5–10 minutes.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: A handful of solid options, including veggie sides and a few noodle dishes.
Vegan options: Limited—mostly sides or modifications; not ideal for strict vegans.
Gluten-free options: Several naturally gluten-free seafood dishes; staff can guide on safe modifications.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes if you want a lively, energetic setting with strong cocktails and patio vibes. Not ideal if you prefer a quieter, more intimate first-date environment.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, but expect a wait during peak dinner hours. The open-front seating adds turnover, but walk-ins after 8pm on weekends may experience long delays.
Is it kid-friendly? Acceptable for older kids who enjoy seafood, but the late-night crowd and louder atmosphere make it less suited for young children.
Best For
Better for: More energetic and cocktail-forward than other seafood spots in the area, with a livelier patio scene and unique Asian-influenced dishes.
Consider Alternatives If: You want a quiet dinner, need extensive vegan options, or prefer classic, non-fusion seafood preparations.
