Getting to know our staff, on an actual, real human level is honestly probably the best way to get a table. We encourage our staff to be who they are, and really connect with our guests. One thing that I love about L’Artusi is that we’ve always broken the fourth wall. Sometimes, we can’t call it as far as what type of clientele we’re going to get.Īre there any other ways to snag a table there? It’s funny because we’ll have a 90th birthday party followed by a 24th birthday rager followed by a med-tech dinner. And we can accommodate up to 14 people in there. It’s located smack dab in the middle of all of our wine. And then we have a beautiful private dining room upstairs. We have one large table that can accommodate seven to eight. We had 3,500 people on the Notify list when the restrictions eased up. We used to have a lot of the power suit-wearing crowd come in on those nights to decompress after work, or maybe even do opening deals or whatever have you, but with people not having the power to expense meals as much, that kind of declined a little bit. And then as far as nighttime, I would definitely say Monday and Tuesday nights. So, now our Sunday brunches aren’t as busy as they used to be. But because of COVID, a lot of the families moved out. It used to be huge, because it was more of a family brunch - not a boozy brunch. How many covers do you do on your busiest night? Those are the biggest slots on the Resy Notify list for when people are trying to get in. Prime time is definitely Thursday through Saturday from 7 p.m. What is your prime time for dinner reservations? We’ll text to let the guests know when their tables are ready, and then they have less than a 10-minute walk back to us. That’s the place to lounge, and it’s super-fun and sexy. And if for some reason they really want to sit and have a cocktail somewhere, luckily, we just opened up our sister spot, B’Artusi, on the corner of 10th and Hudson. We definitely have spaces for them to hang out and lounge with a cocktail. If our waitlist is totally booked, it’s either three hours, or we’re fully committed.Ĭan guests have a cocktail while they wait for their table? If you’re coming in the beginning of the night, you’re probably getting seated typically in an hour and a half. What is the typical wait time for a walk-in? That doesn’t guarantee that you’ll get a spot, but it’s probably the best bet. And our front door team does a really good job of working people in and out. If there’s no table available then and there, we can try to accommodate you on our waitlist. But for dinner, your best bet is to try to come when we open up at 5 p.m. We usually have tables available then, and lunch is from noon until 2:30 p.m. Now that we’re doing lunch, that service is pretty open. What time would you recommend stopping by to snag one of the walk-in seats?
