Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes - they don't take reservations. Come before noon or after 1:30pm on weekdays to avoid lunch rush. Dinners rarely have long waits.
Is it kid-friendly? Very - high chairs available, kids menu with milder options, and the casual atmosphere means no one minds if kids are a bit loud. Crayons provided.
