Logistics & Planning
Parking: Located inside SFO’s Terminal 1; use short-term parking at the Domestic Garage with direct walkway access. No valet or street parking available.
Dress code: Casual travel attire is fine—most guests wear airport comfort clothing, though the bar crowd leans smart casual.
Noise level: Moderate to loud—TVs and bar chatter make it lively but still manageable for conversation.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes for a table during peak preflight meal rushes.
Weekday lunch: Usually seated immediately, especially outside peak boarding times.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—omelets, pancakes, and several breakfast sides fit vegetarian diets.
Vegan options: Limited—ask for modified salads or avocado toast; most main dishes include dairy or meat.
Gluten-free options: Some flexibility—staff can adapt dishes like the breakfast plate, but no dedicated prep area.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal—it’s an airport bar-restaurant setting focused on convenience and comfort rather than ambiance or privacy.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—seating is first-come, first-served. Arrive early morning or mid-afternoon to avoid flight crowd surges.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for families traveling together—high chairs are available and the staff is accommodating, but the bar setting may feel busy for very young children.
Best For
Better for: Heartier, chef-driven brunch plates and quicker service than most airport sit-down spots.
Skip if: You’re seeking a quiet or romantic brunch—it’s built for preflight comfort, not leisurely dining.
