Tips

Book 1-2 weeks ahead for popular slots like Friday or Saturday nights.

Since drinks aren't discounted, stick to the food — or look for BYO options for wine.

Respect the 90-minute dining limit; if you're late, you may lose your table to the next booking.

A great way to enjoy date nights or fine dining at a reasonable price.
