The Infatuation describes Cafe Commerce as "perpetually packed with families squeezing into the teeny oxblood booths, hardly wide enough to fit even one of the kids' Moncler puffer jackets" — signaling consistently high demand rather than an occasional rush.
The restaurant takes reservations through Resy, per The Infatuation, which is the likelier route to a table given how tightly the small dining room runs.
