The secrets

Insider tips

  • Tock shows the full book, up to 90 days out, and the restaurant says it does not hold tables back. If your date is dark, ask to be on the waitlist. There is no dress code. There is no valet. They will refresh a meter on Desplaines or Union, and there is a garage half a block north at 650 W Fulton Market. Tell them about a dietary change at least 24 hours ahead.

    confirmed by restaurant Oriole

  • Prime times go immediately. A 9pm seating still turns up, if you are fine with dinner running until about 11.
