A West Village date is a short walk and a long book. The rooms on this page open on different mornings, and Semma’s entry in the guide still does not print an hour. The notes below were checked on October 24, 2026.
Difficulty on this page is a Midnight Table estimate, not official Resy or OpenTable data, and not a guarantee of a table. Booking notes were checked on the date under each restaurant. A restaurant can change the window after that.
Alerts is $12 a month and watches the drop. Concierge books in your name, on the restaurant's own platform. Membership and pricing. The Guestlist is the free weekly letter.
Cafe Charmant, the French room on Bleecker, releases reservations seven days ahead at 9am, according to The Infatuation’s guide dated October 5, 2026. The guide does not name a time zone. Walk-ins are accepted when there is room. The same write-up says a 6pm name on the list turned into a table about 30 minutes later, and it tells people to arrive no later than 5pm as the room gets better known.
Graciela releases reservations two weeks ahead at 10am in that October 5 guide. The time zone is not named. A limited number of tables are held for walk-ins. The guide’s practical seat is the bar, where half portions of steak are available. On a Monday at 8:30pm, the writers waited about 10 minutes.
Semma, the South Indian room on Greenwich Avenue, releases reservations online two weeks ahead. The October 5 guide does not print the hour. It says no tables are held for walk-ins, and that there are 12 seats at the bar.
Bangkok Supper Club drops 28 days ahead at midnight, in Resy’s New York guide updated September 10, 2026. The guide does not name a time zone. It says a quarter of the dining room and the entire 11-seat bar are held for walk-ins. That guide files the room under Meatpacking. It is on this page because the Midnight Table directory lists it in the West Village.
4 Charles Prime Rib releases reservations online 21 days ahead at 9am, in The Infatuation’s guide dated October 5, 2026. That guide does not name a time zone. It says the online book favors diners already verified in the restaurant’s system, and that the way onto that list is to eat there and ask. The same entry says unverified guests should line up outside no later than 3pm, and that seating starts around 3:45 pm.
