The secrets

Insider tips

  • Dinner is booked out for months. Lunch, Tuesday through Saturday, is the opening. The bar is first come, first served, and it is an easier seat alone.

    single report The Infatuation

  • Call the day of. One party that phoned was told to arrive at 4 PM and was seated before 5. Showing up right at opening has also worked for diners, though regulars warn it's still one of the city's hardest tables, especially once the patio closes for the season.
