Alley 41 doesn't take reservations, and The Infatuation's review notes that "there's usually a wait during prime dinner hours," making walk-in timing the main lever for avoiding a queue.
The Infatuation also flags that the restaurant's three larger back tables, which seat up to eight, fill up especially quickly during busy periods, so larger groups face a tighter window to grab a table before the wait sets in.
