//The line

Per Tripadvisor reviewers, Row House 'consistently' packs out on weekend nights, with guests reporting long waits especially around DJ nights, Martini Mondays, and Saturday/Sunday brunch; the same reviews say staff recommend booking ahead or coming early on a weekday to skip the crowd.

The restaurant's own reservations page at rowhouseharlem.com corroborates the recurring-event crowd pattern, listing a weekly Friday 'Assorted Flavors' DJ happy hour, weekly Monday Martini Mondays, and a once-a-month 'Da Boogie Brunch' capped at a two-hour seating window with an enforced dress code — the kind of programming that reliably fills the room on specific nights.

Reservations can be made by phone or through OpenTable, per the venue's OpenTable listing, and walk-ins are welcomed per Tripadvisor commentary, though reviewers say the unpredictable, event-driven crowd calendar makes a booking the safer bet on Fridays, Mondays, and weekend brunch.
