The Infatuation's review says Le French Diner 'still feels like a well-kept, walk-in-only secret,' with just three tables and about ten bar seats, meaning regular waits for the tiny space.
Per Yelp reviewers, people line up before the 5pm opening to snag one of the roughly eight prime seats, with waits reported as running up to or past three hours during peak times, though some guests step across the street for a drink while they wait for a call.
