The secrets

Insider tips

A September 2026 Infatuation guide said OpenTable opens 30 days out at midnight and that the counter takes walk-ins. The restaurant's FAQ says otherwise: reservations release at 7:00 AM, 30 days in advance, and the four counter seats are booked on OpenTable. Walk-in space is limited.
