//The line

Sky Cafe is described by Tripadvisor reviewers as 'very small with limited staff,' with reports of just one staffer 'running all the tables' — a setup that reviewers say means diners should 'expect to wait a little bit for a table' even though the restaurant only has around five tables total.

Because there's no reservation system and the room is so compact, a single busy stretch can back up the whole restaurant; the wait tends to be about pacing of service rather than a formal line out the door.

//When the line peaks
Any moderately busy stretch can create a wait given the five-table room and single-staffer service, per Tripadvisor reviews
