It is not an OpenTable problem. It is a stone-crab-season problem.
Joe's Stone Crab has run on the southern tip of Miami Beach since 1913 and currently sits as the #2 highest-grossing restaurant in the country at $49.4M. The stone crab claws are the menu and the season runs October through May; the room closes for the off-season.
OpenTable lists the room in season. The room is large but the volume is larger; the famous line forms regardless of reservation. The Joe's Take Away counter next door serves the same crabs for the line that can't get in.
