ABC kitchen without a reservation?

[LemonLauren]

How should one get a table for two at ABC Kitchen on a Saturday night without a reservation? Early, late, leave name, go for drinks, eat at bar, etc... Thanks!

I'd go the bar route. But you'll still have to go early, as the bar is first come first served, and it gets busy, too.

I suggest going early. It's gets incredibly packed and there is almost always an hour to two wait without a reservation. However you could always eat at the bar if you get there before the rush.
