Cipriani Downtown is bookable via Resy or by calling the restaurant directly, and it's an active listing on the paid reservation-assist service TablePass, signaling strong demand (source: tablepass.nyc/restaurant/cipriani-downtown). Reviewer coverage describes it as a 'see and be seen' spot popular with a Wall Street and social crowd.
A TripAdvisor review titled 'Don't bother! or When is a reservation not a reservation?' describes a diner with a confirmed 8:30 PM Resy reservation who instead found a full room and a queue of waiting guests, still without a table by 9:00 PM while other guests were seated ahead of them. The same coverage notes seven bar seats are kept walk-in only.
