Spike's Breezeway MeetUp was on a Sunday night at 7pm. I arrived at 4:30pm to make sure things were organized and settle into my hotel (next door). I was blown away that at 4:30pm on a Sunday the parking lot was packed with cars. When I did the final headcount for our party, seated in the boat area, we had 35 people. We only used half the boat area and a party of at least 20 people were seated parallel to us in the boat area having a big birthday thing. The main dining room was just full of folks. I do not know how busy it should be or not, but I was blown away. It was the only time I've been there. I was also amazed how many staff it must take to keep the place functional when you have multiple big parties of people and yet, somehow, food and drinks came out reasonably quickly.

On the one hand I can say "yeah this place is too big to stay open for much longer" and yet somehow for 50+ years it has managed to keep packing people in.
