We're going Sun. when they're running a Mother's Day special so hopefully it won't be packed with that crowd, but just want to be situated in the best spot possible. Thanks.

No reservations taken for upstairs (but perhaps they will for Mother's Day?), so unless you get there early, those tables will likley already be snapped up!

There is no view downstairs, well it's not exactly a "view" upstairs either but it is nice to see the red tugboat. Tables tend to turn over slowly during prime time so I'd try to hit it early.
