Good to know this fall
School nights mean the 5–6:30pm window is the sweet spot — most family-friendly spots are quiet then and packed by 7. Fall weekends bring festival crowds downtown, so call ahead for parties of five or more, and ask about seasonal kids' portions — many kitchens run smaller fall menus.
