627811 Sun Jun 14 09:55:27 -0700 2009 6 18 Manhattan 0 4771682 We're coming from Toronto to NYC in the first week of August. Will try Degustation for sure -- but, cannot find a website or any information about reservations -- do we need reservations? how far out are they made? Telephone resos only? Is there a website that I'm missing? Thanks, in advance. Sun Jun 14 09:55:27 -0700 2009 118181 EarlyDrive 1 4771862 Reservations are advised as the place only seats about 15. They also accept walk-ins. I had no trouble getting in a few weeks ago on a short-notice reservation.

The menu changes daily so that's why that one is out of date. Call to make reservations. I'd call 2-3 weeks on advance. It's not super difficult but I would not try to walk in on a Friday/Saturday without a reservation. Sun Jun 14 12:25:57 -0700 2009 4771682 10936 kathryn 2 4772873 Thank you scoopG and Kathryn.

I've gotten in with 6-7 days notice and have seen walk-ins be seated. Mon Jun 15 06:40:14 -0700 2009 4773412 148845 scoopG 5 4774186 I walked in recently around 8 pm on a weeknight. No problem. Under the radar screen and I kinda like it that way (no website, no www.opentable.com reservations). Other times when we needed a specific time we called and made reservations.
