  1. Book early for Friday/Saturday—prime slots fill a week out.

  2. Bar seats = menu & show—watch plating while sipping NM‑spirits cocktails.

  3. Ask for the focaccia “add‑ons”—they’re not on every printed menu.

  4. Street parking after 6 p.m. is free around Marcy St.; Sundays are quiet but Horno is closed.

  5. Gluten‑free friendly: many small plates and the hanger steak can be adapted—alert your server.
