"Don't try parking in the lot on busy days unless you like a challenge. The garage by Gene Juarez is a better bet."

"Check out the Butterfly Lounge upstairs, but watch out. If it's too full, it's super stuffy."

"The Meze Plate is always a win on weekdays. Especially if you like the soup of the day."

"The cioppino is unreal."

"Food is wonderful, but beware: There are several desserts, but no chocolate."

"So easy to move tables around. Especially on a weeknight. Come with 20 people, head to the back. Chances are, you can all sit together."
