Dates that opened at some point: 100%.
Delfina books on OpenTable, with a calendar about a month deep, and with every date open there is nothing to time. Openings run from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM: 25% before 6 PM and 59% in the 7:00 to 8:30 PM window, one of the highest prime-time shares we track. The slot we have seen open most often is 7:15 PM.
Most often open: 7:15 PM. Prime time: 59% of openings.
Open OpenTable and book it, at 7:15 if you like; more than half of what this calendar shows is prime time. If a specific slot ever shows full, watch the date; it will come back.
Book on OpenTable, not Resy. Every date is open.
Prime time is 59% of openings; ask for 7:15 PM.
No, and that is deliberate. SnagRes watches Delfina on OpenTable around the clock and tells you the moment a table appears, by email or text. You book it yourself, in your own account, at the restaurant's own price. Nothing is reserved, held or resold on your behalf.
Because you cannot say any of the above about a directory. SnagRes tracks 284 restaurants across New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago, with 61,530,416 logged availability checks between the rooms with a full record. Nothing watching tens of thousands of restaurants can tell you that one Mission institution has been open on every date we checked, at prime time, because nothing is watching it closely enough to count.
