Securing a walk-in table between 11:00 AM and 2:30 PM on a Saturday requires patience. The line routinely snakes onto the sidewalk, making Isla and Co reservations through platforms like Resy essential for parties larger than two. The host stand holds a limited number of counter stools and high-top tables for spontaneous walk-ins, though solo diners have significantly better odds than four-tops.
By 4:00 PM, the brunch rush subsides into a quiet interlude before dinner starts at 5:00 PM. This two-hour window provides the best experience for anyone looking to photograph the interior design or read over a flat white without feeling rushed by front-of-house staff managing table turns.
