The secrets
Insider tips
Walk-ins are not taken. The book is 20 days out. A solo on a Tuesday is the softer seat. Otherwise set Resy Notify and move when it pings.
Only a slice of seats ever reaches Resy, because much of the book goes to regulars who text the team before release. Keep alerts on and pounce; openings for specific dates do surface and go within minutes.
