Dress code: Casual to smart-casual. Jeans are fine; dress it up slightly if you’re coming for music or drinks.
Noise level: Moderate to loud on live-music nights; quieter earlier, louder later when the bar fills.
Weekend wait: 20–40 minutes without a reservation on music nights; shorter if you arrive early.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes – multiple vegetable momos, noodle dishes, and small plates.
Vegan options: Limited – a few vegetable-forward dishes may work; confirm sauces with staff.

Better for: Late-friendly dates, sharing plates, and pairing food with drinks and live music rather than formal service.
Skip if: You want a quiet, polished dining room or a service-driven romantic experience—choose a calmer sit-down restaurant instead.
