Late ADRs and wait times

[NEWireless]

I understand that ADRs are not "reservations" in the sense that I should expect to be seated at the time of my ADR.

I have a group of 10 planning to get together for dinner every night the second week of June.

How long do you guess we will wait to be seated for these?

Narcossee's 7pm
California Grill 7pm
Bistro de Paris 7pm
1900 Park Fare 8pm
Captain Jack's 9pm
Citricos 8pm

Thanks for your help.

I think this question is hard to answer, since it's just so subjective. I just try to check in 15 minutes prior to my ADR time and hope for the best. Sometimes I get seated immediately. Other times it can be 30 minutes or longer.

I've had ADRs for both larger and smaller parties, and I've never had any predictable consistency in seating for ADRs. So I guess I'm just going to suggest you check in early and wish you the best of luck that you get seated quickly.

I don't think you can guess.

CG always seems to run behind. Last time there (2 mos ago), we checked in 20 minutes early and we waited 50 minutes past ADR time and the line behind us stacked up so that they would probably wait longer than we did. This was the worst wait we've ever had here.

Bistro, we've always waited here too. The restaurant is pretty small. Sometimes it hasn't been too bad but every time we go here on a Friday night, it seems that we do wait quite a bit.

We have not experienced long wait times at Narcoosees or Citricos. Have not tried the other 2.

I appreciate the help.

It sounds like ADR seating is impossible to pin down.

Frustrating planning for a group that won't eat early.

Thanks.
