Insider tip: Order savory early—kitchen rhythm matters late.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited and competitive at night; garages nearby but expect higher late-night rates.
Dress code: Dressy casual to upscale lounge—heels, statement tops, and sharp jackets fit the room; athletic wear feels out of place.
Noise level: Loud—music-forward lounge energy where conversation is possible but not private.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes after 10 p.m. without a reservation, longer for prime lounge tables.
Weekday lunch: Not applicable—late-night focused venue.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited but workable—small plates and sides can be combined into a light meal.
Vegan options: Very limited—best suited for drinks with minimal food expectations.
Gluten-free options: Some naturally gluten-free seafood and tartare options; confirm preparation with staff.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, if you want a stylish, nightlife-forward vibe—great energy and cocktails, but not ideal for deep conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Sometimes on weeknights or earlier in the evening; after 10 p.m. weekends, expect a wait or standing room first.
Is it kid-friendly? No—this is an adults-only, late-night lounge atmosphere.
Best For
Better for: Late-night glamour with real food—stronger menu than most cocktail lounges in the area.
Skip if: You want a quiet meal, substantial dinner portions, or a relaxed, conversational setting.
