Last updated . Source: SnagRes availability record, 61,530,416 checks across 284 restaurants through 19 October 2026. How we measure. Open dataset.
At our 19 October 2026 reading, the tightest rooms for two were Hayato (0%) and Camphor (43%). Camphor had a table open up at some point on 51% of its dates.
Its Tock page releases a whole month of seats on the first of the month before, at 10:00 AM Pacific.
Camphor opens 21 days ahead, per its Resy listing, and we have seen new dates appear around 12:00 AM PT. Monday is its best night by our checks.
Yes. Bestia read 100% for two and 100% for four, and 55% of its openings fall between 7:00 and 8:30 PM. It books on OpenTable, 60 days ahead.
No. SnagRes watches these calendars and texts or emails you the moment a table opens. You book it yourself, in your own account, at the restaurant's own price. It never books, holds or resells a table.
We track eight Arts District restaurants. At our 19 October 2026 reading, the tightest for a table of two were Hayato (0%), Camphor (43%) and Everson Royce Bar (65%). Each figure is the share of dates in the room's booking window with a table anyone could book.
This is one of the easier neighborhoods to book in Los Angeles. Its rooms averaged 68% open, against 62% for the city, and the median room read 68%. So the hard part here is two rooms, not the district.
Los Angeles joined the tracker in late September 2026. These figures rest on a few weeks of checks, 349,179 of them across the district, so they are early and they will move.
Camphor, French, Resy. 43% for two and 37% for four.
Hayato, Japanese, Tock. 0% of dates open, released a month at a time.

Camphor opens 21 days ahead, per its Resy listing, and we have seen its new dates appear around 12:00 AM PT. It read 43% for two, and 51% of its dates had a table open up at some point.
It has not shown a table on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Of the other nights, Monday was the best at 68% of checks and Thursday the lowest at 50%.
Four-tops read 37%, a little above two-tops, so a group of four is no harder here. Its most common opening is 5:15 PM, and 36% of openings fall between 7:00 and 8:30 PM.
Release: 21 days ahead, per its Resy listing.
Best night by our checks: Monday. Most common opening: 5:15 PM.
No table seen on Tuesdays or Wednesdays.
Hayato is a small counter that books on Tock. Its Tock page releases a whole month of seats at once, on the first of the month before, at 10:00 AM Pacific. That single morning decides most of the month, so it is the one to be ready for.
Our Tock figures for Hayato were reset on 17 October 2026 after a measurement fix showed the earlier readings ran high, and the new record is still rebuilding. The release morning is the one to plan for.
If the release passes you by, an alert on your nights is how you hear about a returned seat first.
Release: the first of the month before, at 10:00 AM Pacific, per its Tock page.
The most open rooms in the district were Bavel (100%), Bestia (100%), Camélia (100%) and Damian (68%). If the date matters more than the room, start here.
Bestia and Bavel book on OpenTable, and Bavel's own reservations page puts its calendar at 60 days ahead. They put 55% and 57% of their openings between 7:00 and 8:30 PM. That is a real dinner hour, and Bestia's most common opening is 7:15 PM.
Camélia puts 60% of its openings in the same band. Kato read 67% and has not shown a table on Mondays or Tuesdays. Damian read 68% and Everson Royce Bar 65%.
Bestia: 100% for two, OpenTable, 60 days ahead.
Bavel: 100% for two, OpenTable, 60 days ahead.
Kato: 67%, most often at 8:00 PM.
Ranked by average availability across Los Angeles neighborhoods where we track four or more rooms: West Hollywood 46%, Echo Park 61%, Venice 62%, Hollywood 68%, Arts District 68%, Santa Monica 82% and Los Feliz 84%. The Arts District sits toward the easy end.
So the plan here is simple. Book Bestia, Bavel or Camélia when the date is fixed. For Camphor, pick a night it is open and check four as well as two. For Hayato, be on Tock at 10:00 AM on the first of the month before.
For everything else, hear first. SnagRes checks these calendars around the clock and texts or emails you the moment a table opens. It never books, holds or resells a table. You book it yourself, in your own account, at the restaurant's own price.
