Not a bad seat in the house. In my experience, handing over a great tip at the beginning of the evening before things get too crowded is SUPER effective at getting great service later in the night.
Their coffee probably has crack in it. Sweet, sweet, delicious crack. Perfect if you're fueling up for an early morning drive...
Not cheap, but everything is good. Try the Cubano sando, or the pastrami... Also, Blue Bottle coffee is a life-saver on those slow mornings / walks of shame.
