Really a very small diner and a special, authentic place, but wouldn't say suitable for a birthday surprise ...
Isn't the classic big diner now. Authentic, but there are nicer and bigger dinners for birthday parties. Do not think that you can reserve.
It is very small there (under 20 seats). At the main breakfast time after 9:00 a.m., the shop gets crowded and it becomes difficult to get a seat, with most people just having a quick breakfast and then leaving. If you’re there before 9:00 am I don’t think it’s a problem. Reserve, I think you can't, but you can try.
