Carmine's appears on OpenTable's Diners' Choice 'Most Booked' lists for both Manhattan and the broader New York tri-state area, signaling it's among the region's most frequently reserved restaurants, particularly for pre-theater dinners.
Because demand is so high, Carmine's cannot hold reservations past the booked time — if a party isn't present when their table is ready, it gets offered to guests waiting instead, per the restaurant's own OpenTable listing.
Patterns as reported by press and regulars — not measured by damnlines.
Reservations: Reservations via OpenTable; not held past booked time
Walk-ins: Possible but may face a wait
No specific wait-time figure is published, but demand is high enough that OpenTable lists Carmine's among the most-booked restaurants in Manhattan and the NY tri-state area, especially before Broadway curtain times.
Yes, via OpenTable — but reservations aren't held past the booked time; late arrivals can lose their table to waiting guests, per Carmine's OpenTable listing.
Walk-ins are possible but risk a wait given its most-booked status on OpenTable, especially around pre-theater hours.
