Sistina's spot on OpenTable's 'Most Booked 1000-Point Tables' Diners' Choice list signals sustained high reservation demand rather than walk-in lines; the restaurant carries nearly 1,926 reviews on OpenTable, per OpenTable's own listing.
To manage that demand, Sistina enforces a strict cancellation policy — a $50 per-guest fee for cancellations made within 24 hours or no-shows, per OpenTable — a common signal of high table pressure at in-demand tables.

Reservations: Reservations via OpenTable; $50/guest fee for cancellations within 24 hours or no-shows
No specific wait time is reported, but Sistina's ranking on OpenTable's Most Booked list and its strict cancellation-fee policy point to tables being hard to secure without a reservation.
Yes, Sistina takes reservations via OpenTable, and cancellations within 24 hours or no-shows incur a $50 per-guest fee, per OpenTable.
Walk-ins aren't addressed in available sources; given its Most Booked status on OpenTable, booking ahead is the safer bet.
