This can be semi-casual (I would recommend wearing nice jeans, although it is not a coat and tie place, they still have a dress code) or formal. Reservations can be made, as I would advise you to do, or you can walk in. In the event you are a walk-in, you are most likely to get a bar or two-seater round table. Their specialty is seafood, and can be a bit pricey, but is worth it. The texture, scent, and overall umami of the food are good, although the presentation could be improved. They also have a vast wine selection that is added to and altered with the seasons. I would recognize it for the semi-formal as well as formal situations to a point. I would suggest another venue for black tie events.
