John's takes reservations only for parties of 10 or more; all smaller groups are seated first come, first served, according to the restaurant's official FAQ. That no-reservations policy for typical-sized groups is a major driver of the waits diners report, especially on weekend nights.
Diners commonly report 30-to-60-minute waits during peak hours, with one account citing about a 30-minute wait on a Friday night shortly after opening, and dinner-rush waits generally not exceeding 35 minutes, according to diner accounts compiled via search of restaurant review sites. The restaurant itself is a 400-seat former 19th-century church with soaring ceilings and stained glass, a draw that adds to the crowds waiting for a table.
