What is required to make a reservation in a way that is likely to be honored when you arrive?

You need to know someone that " has a table" there. Great place!

Hi, I've been going for many years. They don't take reservations nor do they take walk-ins. Even if tables are available they won't sit you. That's their policy. You basically have to know someone to get in. Seatings are Given out in Nov and covers the whole year. I guess I feel privileged to to get about 4 seatings a year.

@brooklnus10 do you think it’s possible for you to rent me a table for a day

I don't think they accept reservations from general public..

SORRY SIR I WOULDN'T KNOW NOW HOW ARE RESERVATIONS ARE SCHEDULED THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE WAS IN 1987-92. WITH OLDMAN ITALIAN JOE FROM 120 STREET AND PLEASANT AVE IT WAS A FAMILY INVITE MANY YEARS AGO.
