It is not an OpenTable problem. It is a prime-time problem.
Bad Roman is the Quality Branded group's third-floor Italian room inside the Shops at Columbus Circle, opened in 2023. The dining room runs a Roman-American menu under chandeliers, the bar is its own scene, and the room has been a hard 8pm since it opened.
OpenTable lists the room and the 7-to-9pm tables clear in the first minutes of release. The bar takes walk-ins for the full menu most nights; lunch and the late seatings (10pm-plus) stay open longer than the prime slots.
