tl;dr : Good food, wonderfully gracious, kind employees, and a generally cool vibe at this little spot.
My boyfriend and I went in on a Friday night--per the hours shown on here I thought they were open until 10pm and I made a reservation since it was an option and we had never been here before--wasn't sure if it got busy enough to need a reservation or not, and I like to play it safe. I made the reservation for 8pm.
We sat down just before 8 and were the only people there, which I thought was a little weird, but figured it was just a slow night.
The waitress was so sweet right off the bat and an older gentleman who I think was the cook was standing out in the dining area and introduced himself, shook our hands and said hello. I really liked the vibe just from that--very personal and welcoming.
We ordered and after the waitress put in our order she brought out the check, but assured us we were in no hurry, but she just wanted to bring it because they were closing the register. I suddenly realized (being a server before) that they were closing! I confirmed that they were and apologized profusely, letting them know that on Yelp it showed that they were open until 10, mostly wanting to let them know why we came when we did so they didn't think we were super rude/thoughtless!
They were incredibly gracious and kind about it and didn't make us feel like a bother at all. They brought out the food in takeout boxes, understandably! And honestly, I've seen other reviews stating that they were served food in takeout boxes even during the day, due to running out of plates, etc.--I truly wouldn't have minded even if that were the case. There's something about a "mom & pop shop" that just feels more authentic, I guess. I personally don't mind that at all--if you're going to some fancy, 5-star restaurant I wouldn't appreciate that, but a cool little spot like this, I really have no problem with little hiccups like that. :-)
After we realized they were closed my boyfriend finished up his drink and we took our food--we were mostly done anyway! The cook came back out to ask us how the food was (which it was great, by the way!) and the guy closing down the register (maybe the manager/owner?) answered our questions about their live music nights and welcomed us back soon.
I don't write many reviews for places, but I wanted to for them because not only was the food quite delicious, they were so kind despite us unknowingly showing up minutes before they were going to close!
