What time do you stop accepting customers? It would be helpful to put up a sign so everyone is informed. I arrived at 1:20, and there’s no line—just empty chairs. The acting manager told me they aren’t taking any more customers because they’re waiting for people they’ve texted who aren’t here, even though the kitchen closes at 1:45. In the meantime, you’re turning away customers right in front of you, despite having plenty of empty tables.”

It was a really nice place, very popular so expect to wait a few minutes to get a table. But the staff there were very nice and attentive. However the place is really small but don't let that stop you they have great food.

Walked in at 11:40am to a sign that said “we are not seating any more guest today” … at 11:40am?

Perfect food, service, and atmosphere. I ordered their shrimp and grits after seeing all the praise. It’s very warm and savory. Perfect dish for a cold day. My husband ordered the Navajo special. He absolutely loved it. He loved how the cilantro was mixed in with the avocado. Even as someone who hates cilantro, I tried a bite and thought it was very good. We’ve tried many New Haven diners (including the most famous ones), and this place is definitely the best. It’s my husband’s new favorite breakfast place in general too. The servers were very attentive. Please check this place out if you’re interested in good and unique breakfast

The service was excellent from the moment I sat down. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I ordered the Chaurice Benedict - highly recommended by a very friendly woman - and I was on cloud nine from the first bite. My meal was ended with a nice and genuine smile from the waitress and I thought that I must come back again. Great ambiance and music selection. This is a fantastic diner.
