I love this spot - everyone is so welcoming and the food is amazing!!!!! I go early because of some driving at night issues, so there weren't many others there, but I truly hope that they get busy later, and/or that people in the neighborhood start discovering this place, because I want them to be there as my go-to for a long time.
