Tatiana by Kwame Onwuachi is chef Kwame Onwuachi's Afro-Caribbean restaurant inside David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center, one of the most talked-about restaurant openings in recent NYC dining history. Reservations are notoriously hard to land on Resy, which has pushed many diners to try their luck as walk-ins instead.
Reviewers report walk-in lines forming as much as an hour before the dinner service opens, especially on weekends, since reservation slots released 28 days out at noon are reportedly claimed almost immediately. If you can't get a reservation, arriving well ahead of the 5pm opening appears to be the more realistic path in, though even then a wait should be expected.
