The secrets
Insider tips
Reservations open 21 days out at 9am and go quickly. A couple of tables are held for walk-ins. The waitlist is the safer backup.
Walk-ins go to the tiny front lounge: two window counters for two and one low four-person table by the host stand. Arrive just before the 4 PM open to claim one.
In warm weather, patio tables are released at 9 AM each day depending on the forecast, a quieter path than the 21-day dining room drop.
Plan B is Gilt Bar next door: same chef, a similar menu, and an easier booking.
