On Saturday nights the small East Village dining room has been described by reviewers on Tripadvisor as 'PACKED,' making the space 'very tight and very loud.' Diners who tried Friday nights likewise reported the restaurant at full capacity, per the same review coverage.
Because of the tight, always-full room, reviewers recommend securing a reservation in advance rather than counting on a table opening up. The restaurant is cash-only, adding another logistical hurdle for walk-in diners hoping to wait it out.
