The Infatuation names Odo East Village one of the toughest reservations in New York, noting the restaurant's entire dining room is a 14-seat counter and that tables are released 30 days out at midnight, exclusively through Resy. In its separate full review of the restaurant, The Infatuation confirms the same 30-day, midnight-release system and reports that a party of two who showed up at 6pm on a Friday without a booking 'were told there was no availability.'
Walk-ins are technically permitted, per The Infatuation, but the outlet is blunt that they 'shouldn't be relied upon' given how small the counter is. The Infatuation's reviewer adds that solo diners appear to have noticeably better odds of landing a stray walk-in seat than couples or larger groups, since a single open seat is easier to find at a 14-seat bar than two together.
Patterns as reported by press and regulars — not measured by damnlines.
Reservations: Reservations are released 30 days in advance at midnight, exclusively through Resy, per The Infatuation.
Walk-ins: Technically accepted but unreliable, per The Infatuation; a walk-in party of two was turned away on a Friday evening, though solo diners reportedly fare better.
There's no posted walk-in wait time — the entire restaurant is a 14-seat counter booked almost exclusively through Resy, where tables release 30 days out at midnight and disappear fast, per The Infatuation. Walk-ins are technically accepted, but The Infatuation reports its own reviewer was turned away with 'no availability' when arriving as a twosome on a Friday at 6pm, so anyone showing up without a reservation should expect a real chance of being turned away rather than a predictable wait.
Yes — reservations are taken exclusively through Resy and released 30 days in advance at midnight, per The Infatuation. Because the whole restaurant is a single 14-seat counter, even that 30-day window fills up quickly.
Technically yes, but The Infatuation cautions walk-ins 'shouldn't be relied upon.' Its reviewer was denied a walk-in table for two on a Friday evening, though the outlet notes solo diners tend to have better luck finding an open counter seat.
Just 14, and all of them are at a single counter, per The Infatuation. That small footprint is a big part of why the restaurant made The Infatuation's list of NYC's toughest reservations.
It's the East Village counterpart to chef Hiroki Odo's two-Michelin-starred Odo, serving a gluten-free, kaiseki-inspired tasting menu at its 14-seat counter, per The Infatuation's review.
