Closed on Yelp & Google
Waitlist closed. Restaurant not taking…
So, as of 6:20 PM today, both Yelp and Google show the waitlist closed, meaning they’re not accepting parties at the moment.
Why the Waitlist Is Such a Big Deal
No reservations accepted, and both Yelp and Google close the list once capacity hits peak.
Weekend dinner rush is brutal—pattern is clear: brunch or pre‑dinner slots are your best bet.
Reddit users report consistent 60–120 minute waits unless you show up early.
Insider Tips to Outsmart the Queue
Arrive at 3–4 PM on weekends to grab early sign-up window.
Refresh Yelp/Google listing at 10‑minute intervals—it may reopen briefly.
Walk-in method works: one Redditor notes the waitlist resets soon after walk‑ins are seated.
Bring friends, split up arrivals to maximize early queue placement.
