Dame is a small, popular seafood restaurant in the West Village/Greenwich Village area known for oysters and a tight dining room, which makes it genuinely hard to book rather than a walk-up line spot.
There's no physical waitlist to join — Dame is reservation-first through Resy, with new tables releasing at noon three weeks out and going quickly. Walk-ins are only sometimes possible via an outdoor structure, since the indoor room is usually fully reserved; the better strategy reported is checking Resy day-of for cancellations, especially early evening or around 9pm.
Patterns as reported by press and regulars — not measured by damnlines.
From what's reported, Dame doesn't run a physical waitlist at all — it's a small, reservation-first seafood spot booked through Resy, with only occasional walk-in seating in its outdoor structure when the indoor room (which is usually fully reserved) can't take you. (No live damnlines camera here yet — this is reported guidance, not a live count.)
Sometimes, but only for outdoor seating when it's available — indoor tables are typically fully booked through reservations, so walk-ins aren't reliable.
New reservation windows release on Resy at noon, three weeks ahead of the date, and tend to go fast. If you don't grab one in advance, checking Resy the day-of can surface cancellations, including early or ~9pm slots.
No formal waitlist. Resy offers a 'notify me' alert for cancellations instead of an in-person or call-ahead list.
Reported hours are Monday–Saturday, roughly 5:30–10pm (with Friday/Saturday extending to about 10:30pm); closed Sundays.
