The peak hours during the day tend to be 12:00pm-2:00pm for lunch, and so a later lunch is recommended for those patrons who may be more sensitive to noise. From 4:30-6:00 or 7:00, the restaurant switches to a cocktail bar, with those hours extended to 9:00pm on Tuesdays. Sundays feature brunch, as well as a live DJ at 9:30pm, making these hours somewhat louder.
