Chef Martial Noguier, the restaurant's owner, says they don't see large party reservations during the holidays.

"Most of the people would be between, I would say, two and four," Noguier said.

He says it is not hard to find employees to work the holidays because they know with them, come tips.
"They know that in the holidays they are going to make a lot of money," he said.

Bistronomic and other restaurants in the area may have a few seats left, but reservations are strongly recommended over walk-ups.
