The secrets
Insider tips
SevenRooms releases tables at 10 AM daily, 30 days out. Cancelling at least 72 hours ahead gets a full refund, 24 to 72 hours costs 50 percent, and under 24 hours the full price, so seats tend to reappear just before the 72-hour mark. Reservations can be transferred to another guest at any time.
Book your true party size: the restaurant won't reduce a reservation after the fact.
