Because seating space is limited, Shaking Crab's Hell's Kitchen location only holds reservations for 15 minutes past the booked time before releasing the table, according to search results citing the restaurant's own booking guidance. Diners are told to arrive on time or risk losing their slot to the next party in line.
For larger parties of six or more, the restaurant asks guests to call directly to book rather than relying on standard online reservation platforms, per the same reporting. This points to a venue that runs close to capacity most nights and manages overflow demand by hand.
