Make a reservation on weekends to ensure a spot.
Brunch is a popular option for starting the weekend.
You can walk in without a reservation and eat at the bar.
I have been using it now for 3 months and it saves me so much research. Reduces the need to call and double check every time.
How did I not know these places existed?! Atly's scoring is a lifesaver, now I can finally find THE spot without wasting time Googling my life away.
