//The line

The Modern holds two Michelin stars per Wikipedia's List of Michelin-starred Restaurants in New York City. Per the itsadate.nyc guide to its adjoining Bar Room, reservations there are rated 'moderate' difficulty, with advice to book ahead and keep backup options since prime-time slots aren't guaranteed to stay open.

Search results describe walk-ins as welcome and reservations bookable up to 28 days in advance across its formats — the formal Dining Room, the à la carte Bar Room, and the four-seat Kitchen Table — meaning demand is spread across several booking channels rather than a single line.
