The secrets
The month-ahead book is how you avoid being stuck at 5pm. There is walk-in seating at the bar, which sits apart from the dining room and the open kitchen.
The bar takes walk-ins and serves the full à la carte menu. Resy releases two calendar months at a time, each month going live at midnight on the first of the month before, for parties of up to six.
Cancellations made less than 48 hours out carry a fee, so the 48-hour mark is when booked guests let tables go. Questions about bookings go to the reservations email rather than the phone.

No. We send alerts and help you plan and book. Every reservation is made in your own name on the restaurant's own platform, and we never resell tables.
