The secrets
Insider tips
The walk-in play is a weekday early arrival: line up 30 to 40 minutes before doors, ideally Monday through Wednesday, and ask for a table at opening. Diners who do it are often seated within the first hour, usually on a brisk, timed seating.
Friday through Sunday lunch is the friendlier walk-in window. One diner reports a 10:20 AM arrival for a noon opening put them roughly tenth in line and still got seated; those who miss the cut are offered a cancellation standby list.
There is no bar to fall back on. The room is roughly nine tables, most of them four-tops, so a party of four can have better odds than a pair when a larger table cancels.
Cancellations cluster in the 48 hours before service, so keep Resy Notify on and check often; regulars say 7 to 10 PM ET is the most productive time to look. Asking the team in person or by email to add you to their verified guest list can make more tables visible to you.
