Medium Rare runs dinner as walk-in only seven nights a week, with reservations only bookable after 9pm, according to the restaurant's own reservations page found via search. The restaurant advises guests to expect roughly 15 minutes to be seated after checking in at the host stand once their full party has arrived.
Because most of the dining room is held for walk-ins even when reservations are open, guests who do book can still encounter a wait once they arrive, per the restaurant's posted policy. OpenTable's Murray Hill 'Best Restaurants Right Now' page credits the steady demand in part to its 12-year Diners' Choice Award streak.
