Difficulty on this page is a Midnight Table estimate, not official Resy or OpenTable data, and not a guarantee of a table. Each note was checked on the date printed under that restaurant. A restaurant can change the rule after that.

Does Midnight Table sell reservations?
No. Midnight Table sends alerts and helps with planning and booking. Every reservation is made in your own name on the restaurant's own platform. Midnight Table does not buy, hold, or resell tables.
