Before Wing F was remodeled, there was a host. If the restaurant was full, he/she would take your name. You could sit outside, and they would come by and get you when a table was available. I am not a DM anymore, and have not been back since the remodeling.
I never visited Pier F when there was a line for dining. I did not pay much attention to the host, but there was always someone greeting me when I entered. I suppose he/she would take my name if all tables were taken.
I don't think they will ask the guests if they can share tables. At least I was never asked.
