//The line

Sami & Susu holds only 20 seats and carries a Michelin Bib Gourmand designation, per the Michelin Guide, the kind of recognition that reliably drives demand well beyond the room's capacity. The restaurant is bookable through Resy, per Resy.com, indicating it runs a formal reservation system rather than a pure walk-in model.

The restaurant is not on OpenTable, so availability has to be checked directly through Resy or by phone; given the tiny footprint and Michelin attention, tables are widely understood to fill up quickly once released. No specific average wait time was found in available sourcing, but the combination of Bib Gourmand status and a 20-seat room points to reservations being effectively necessary for prime hours.

//When the line peaks
Weekend dinner hours are the likeliest crunch point given the small 20-seat room and Bib Gourmand demand, though no specific reported wait window was found in sourcing.
