Good to Know
- Dietary needs: the menu marks vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free items; gluten-free fried items shared a fryer.
- Kids: families are welcome at both locations during regular hours; late-night happy hour seating is 21+.
- Large groups: walk-in parties of eight or more in Ballard should expect a short wait at peak times; in Redmond, book the event room and skip the math entirely.
- Parking: street and neighborhood parking is available near both restaurants, and downtown Redmond adds nearby public lots.
- Accessibility: the published information described both dining rooms as wheelchair accessible.
- Waiting for a table: the bar pours the full cocktail list, and an order of empanadillas has a documented ability to make any wait feel shorter.
