Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—walk-ins are standard; peak times may need a short wait but turnover is quick. Best to arrive early or mid-afternoon.
Is it kid-friendly? Definitely—staff are patient, portions are shareable, and high chairs are available. Works best for ages 3+ who can handle bustling noise.
