The secrets
Insider tips
Daytime is first come, first served, and names go on the waitlist only in person, never by phone. Dinner takes reservations, but tables are always saved for walk-ins.
Arrive at the weekend open for about a 20-minute wait; by mid-morning Saturday, quotes can top an hour. Weekdays around noon often seat immediately, walking in at 4:30 PM for early dinner works for late-lunch types, and note it's closed Tuesdays.
