You are better off going there and tell them you need a table for 8. I just went through this last week. Yelp only goes up to 6 people and they don't take reservations over the phone.
Cuomo has said no more than 4 at a table. I went out for my daughter birthday and we had to seat apart in the same area. 4 at a table
I went on their website and it redirected me to Yelp where I booked my reservation. I booked for only 4 people but you could try it
