Can I get a table without a reservation? Usually—arrive before 7pm or target late-night after 9:30pm for best luck; otherwise expect to hover for bar seating.
Is it kid-friendly? Not particularly—geared more toward adults with a cocktail focus and late-night vibe; fine for teens early evening.
Best For
