The Corner Store team's French brasserie on Bleecker Street. How it books, the house rules, and what we measured.
Openings are rare and go to whoever sees them first.

Yes, for now. It opened this fall in the West Village from Catch Hospitality Group, the team behind The Corner Store, and its own press page leads with coverage calling it the hottest reservation in town.
The restaurant's own Reservations button sends you to DoorDash Reservations, so check there first, and treat a full SevenRooms calendar as one channel, not the whole room.
Booking: DoorDash Reservations, from the restaurant's own site.
Where: 340 Bleecker Street, West Village.
Hours: dinner Tuesday to Saturday, 5 to 10 PM.
Party size: four at most for now.
It does not publish how far ahead dates open or at what hour. The useful habit is the same as at its sister room: look at the booking page on a few different mornings, and set an alert for the nights you want so a cancellation does not pass you by.
A coastal take on the French brasserie: classic brasserie dishes next to a bright, seafood-led menu, with a cocktail list and a full wine program. The kitchen is run by executive chef Jake Tyler Brodsky, who cooked at Eleven Madison Park and then spent seven years in the Cayman Islands, most recently at Palm Heights.
The house rules are strict, and they are worth reading before the night. The dress code is smart elegant, and the door can turn away anyone it decides is underdressed. No one under 10 is admitted, and guests under 21 finish by 7 PM and cannot sit at the bar.
There is a 15-minute grace period, tables are seated only when the whole party is there, and a table is yours for two hours. Bookings bought from resellers, made by bots or transferred without permission are cancelled.
Try an earlier or later time, or a weeknight, and wait for a cancellation. SnagRes texts you when a table opens on your date; you book it yourself, and we never book, hold or resell a table.
Book through the Reservations button on its own site, which goes to DoorDash Reservations. Tables for up to four, dinner Tuesday to Saturday.
Yes: smart elegant. The door decides, and it can refuse entry to anyone it judges underdressed.
Not under 10. Guests under 21 must finish by 7 PM and cannot sit at the bar.
