Andrew Carmellini's flagship dining room at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, whose Resy reservations vanish almost as soon as they're released.
damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Café Carmellini yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
Resy's own blog reports that Café Carmellini's tables, released 14 days out at 9 a.m. on the platform, 'sometimes get booked up within less than 10 minutes,' especially for prime slots around 5:30 pm, 6-6:15 pm, and 8:30-9 pm, according to the restaurant's maître d' Robert Banat.
Per Resy, the dining room holds 108 seats plus a 7-seat bar reserved for guests with reservations who are waiting on their table; walk-ins aren't guaranteed since, as Banat put it, 'if everyone with a reservation on a typical night shows up, we're sold out for the evening.'
