Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; metered spots along 9th and Irving fill quickly after 6pm, so plan a few minutes to circle. No valet service.
Dress code: Smart casual with a refined touch—think collared shirts, dresses, or upscale denim with a jacket.
Noise level: Moderate; lively but balanced enough for conversation across a two-top.
Weekend wait: Expect a 45–60 minute wait without a reservation; bar seats go first.
Weekday lunch: Not applicable—dinner-only service.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—strong vegetarian representation in appetizers and pastas; staff can adapt mains.
Vegan options: Limited—1–2 small plates can be modified upon request.
Gluten-free options: Yes—several dishes are naturally gluten-free, and the kitchen handles modifications carefully.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Absolutely—romantic lighting, polished pacing, and intimate two-tops make it ideal for first or milestone dates.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Walk-ins can sometimes snag bar seats early (before 6:30pm), but reservations are essential for weekends.
Is it kid-friendly? Not particularly—no children’s menu or high chairs; best suited for adults or teens with adventurous palates.
Best For
Better for: Refined plating and French technique in a relaxed neighborhood setting—rare outside downtown.
Skip if: You want large portions, boisterous energy, or a quick casual meal; this is a slow, intentional dining experience.
