The Infatuation's Flatiron guide sums up the spot bluntly: the food is 'perfectly decent, even pretty damn good at times. But it's always just so damn crowded.' Guest reports back that up — a Friday night visitor described a roughly hour-long wait, and another reported waiting about an hour and fifteen minutes on a separate visit.
Weekday lunch runs far lighter, with one visitor reporting no wait and 10-15 minute service around 1:20pm on a weekday, versus weekend evenings that bring the market's full bustling energy and longer lines. The restaurant uses a text-notified waitlist and also accepts OpenTable reservations for the Flatiron location.
