We ate there last week and I had called ahead to make reservations at 5:30pm. The line to be seated was really long. When I told the hostess we had reservations, she gave me a slip of paper and then told me to go to the end of the line. (huh??!) Thankfully, this was only for a minute or two and probably done for the sake of keeping people somewhat organized out in front of the restaurant. They called my name and we bypassed all of the people who were standing in line. Definitely call ahead!!
