Frenchette is a widely praised Tribeca French brasserie known for classic bistro cooking and a buzzy bar scene; it's built a strong local following since opening, which keeps demand for tables high and reservations tight, especially for the dining room.
Reviewers describe a mixed but often waitier experience: some report being seated quickly at the bar without a reservation, while others describe waits of 30 minutes or more for a table during busier periods. The more reliable path reviewers describe is booking the dining room a few weeks in advance, particularly for weekend dinners or special occasions, while walk-ins are more commonly accommodated in the bar area.

Damnlines doesn't have a live camera at Frenchette yet, so we can't show a real-time wait count for this venue. That said, reviewers report a range of experiences without a reservation — some say they were seated fairly quickly at the bar, while others report waiting over 30 minutes for a table, so expect variability, especially at peak dinner hours.
Yes, Frenchette accepts reservations (bookable via OpenTable and its own site). Reviews suggest booking the dining room a few weeks ahead, particularly for weekend nights or special occasions, since tables can be hard to get on short notice.
Reviewers indicate walk-ins have a better shot at the bar area than the main dining room, though seating still isn't guaranteed and some report a wait even there.
Per Yelp, Frenchette is open Monday–Wednesday 12:00pm–9:00pm, Thursday–Friday 12:00pm–10:00pm, Saturday 11:00am–10:00pm, and Sunday 11:00am–9:00pm.
We don't have live wait data for this venue, but based on reviewer reports, arriving right at opening (weekday lunch or early dinner) appears to offer the best shot at quick seating, especially in the bar area, versus prime Friday/Saturday dinner hours.
