If you can get in, do it. It's quite the experience and not pretentious as you would think. Last time I checked, Mondays they don't take members' reservations, so it's easier to get a table. Don't be discouraged if you are on a waitlist and you have to go kill some time. Their sister bar downstairs, The Green Room is also cool or Pepe le Moko is close or grab some food and wait for the call.
