Reservations at Jean's open two weeks out at midnight and, per Resy's blog, fill up "pretty immediately" for weekend and prime-time slots, with the restaurant fielding "close to 300 requests per day" on its Notify waitlist feature. Prime time, 8-10 p.m., is described as "always fully committed."

Resy notes limited walk-in access exists in shoulder hours — 5-7 p.m. and after 10 p.m. — with the GM advising guests to "come early, and be OK to hang out at our bar for an hour while you wait" since "there are always no-shows." Bookings after 9 p.m. are typically steered toward the restaurant's downstairs club instead.
