Parking a little rough, only a dozen spots behind the place. Had to luckily run into a free paid lot about a block away behind the establishment after dropping off the party - on the next street. Asked for a booth on OpenTable but when arrived, got placed in a back area booth. Two booths then opened up right after seating, and I politely asked, but refused to move us. Food was pretty good.
