Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking along Clement and nearby avenues; can fill up after 7pm, so plan for a short walk.
Dress code: Smart casual; jeans and a nice top fit right in, but locals often lean a little stylish for evening hangs.
Noise level: Moderate—music-forward with conversation possible at small tables or the bar.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes for a bar seat; reservations help for groups.
Weekday lunch: N/A – kitchen opens later; early evening seating usually open.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes – several small plates and fries variations are meat-free.
Vegan options: Limited – some items can be adjusted, but sauces often contain dairy or egg.
Gluten-free options: Partial – some fry options and wine-friendly snacks can be made gluten-free on request.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes – intimate but relaxed lighting, shareable plates, and curated wine make it ideal for a low-pressure first meet.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Usually yes for 1–2 people at the bar; groups of 3+ should book ahead on weekends.
Is it kid-friendly? Not particularly – the focus is adult socializing and wine service; best for 21+ or older teens accompanying parents.
Best For
Better for: Creative fry variations and wine pairings in a casual-but-chic setting.
Skip if: You’re looking for a full dinner or quiet meal; it’s more about small bites and atmosphere than full entrées.
