A Yelp review cited by Gourmand Syndrome warns the wait 'is horrendous without a reservation,' pegging it at 'at least an hour for a group of 3-4,' though Gourmand Syndrome's own reviewer disputes this, saying they've been seated immediately as a party of 2 without booking on multiple visits and advises larger walk-in groups to arrive early rather than at peak times.
