Verificato ottobre 2026

Good for a polished downtown dinner, a birthday table or after-work drinks with people who dress the part. The trade-off: $$$$ prices, a strict dress code and a two-hour cap on your table.

The dress code is real

Smart casual is the rule, and the list of what's out is long: athletic wear, hoodies, sweatpants, beanies, slides, flip flops, swimwear and oversized or overly revealing clothes. At dinner, men also can't wear shorts, sleeveless shirts or baseball caps. Management has the final say at the door, so don't test it. This matters more here than at most downtown spots because plenty of people wander over straight from the bayfront or the gym. Change first. A collared shirt and real shoes will save you an awkward conversation.

Happy hour and Tuesday wine

The cheapest way in is happy hour, which runs in the afternoon and again late at night, with food and drink deals starting at $5. The chain says hours vary by location, so confirm this branch's window before you plan around it. Tuesdays bring half-price bottles of wine, with some exclusions. That's the night to come with a few friends and split a couple of bottles. Otherwise expect four-dollar-sign pricing. It sits at 4.8 from about 1,500 Google reviews, so people seem fine paying it.

Booking a table

Every reservation has a two-hour maximum once you're seated, which is plenty for dinner but tight for a long celebration that drifts into the DJ lounge. Want a booth or have an occasion? Ask at the front desk when you arrive, not in the booking. You're welcome to bring your own cake; it has to stay on your table, and staff will bring plates and utensils. For bigger groups there are private and semi-private rooms, which book up around the holidays. It's open daily from 11:30 am, until midnight Sunday to Wednesday and 1 am Thursday to Saturday.

Parcheggio

Valet parking is available, which beats circling for a downtown spot.

Dress code

No shorts, sleeveless shirts or baseball caps for men at dinner, and no slides or athletic wear at any time.

Da sapere

Bring your own birthday cake if you like; it just has to stay on your table.
