They are almost always full during peak lunch/dinner hours. Several strategies for getting in (because it's totally worth it):

Don't depend on OpenTable - only 1/3 or less of their seating is listed there. Call them directly if everything is listed as full and their host/hostess are often excellent at trying to work something out.
They have some (minimal) bar seating available on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you're a party of one or two, this is also an excellent choice.
Go during off-peak hours (but double-check that you're still within their listed lunch and dinner hours - the kitchen closes in between). It's actually easy to be seated outside of peak eating times.
Call several days in advance for a reservation. A week or so is usually good enough, unless you're looking for holiday or weekend seating.

I love to eat, and with the metabolism that I have, I eat often. Here's some of my favorite places.

(Sorry, you won't find any detailed descriptions of the scrumptiousness of the food, I'd rather be eating than writing about it. The fact that I even went through the effort of posting it to this site is basically a ringing endorsement that you should visit.)
