Yes. SnagRes checks Oriole's calendar continuously and texts or emails you the moment a table opens on a date you picked. It never books, holds or resells a table: you book it yourself with the restaurant.
Oriole's own reservations page says: "Bookings are released on a 90 day rolling calendar." Rolling means the calendar moves forward one date at a time, so a date becomes bookable roughly 90 days before it.
Oriole publishes the window but not a clock time, so we do not give one here. If you are aiming for a specific night, check Tock the day that date first comes into range.
Our latest reading, dated 19 October 2026, showed a bookable table for two on 27% of the dates in Oriole's booking window, and 57% for four, across 1,322 checks. The figure describes how often a table was showing when we looked, not how hard the release morning is.
Treat that reading as early. Chicago joined our tracker in late September 2026, so it rests on a small number of checks rather than months of history, and it will move as more accumulate. We track 68 Chicago restaurants in total.

Count 90 days back from the night you want and check Tock that day, signed in with your payment details saved. Because Oriole names no release hour, checking early in the day and again later is the safer plan.
When the dates you want are gone, the way in is a cancellation. Plans change and tables come back onto the calendar at hours nobody predicts. SnagRes checks Oriole's availability continuously and texts or emails you the moment a table opens.
SnagRes never books for you, never holds a table and never resells one. It tells you a table is free, and you book it yourself with the restaurant.

Because the tables that exist are gone at the drop. Across 1,322 checks, Oriole has shown a bookable table for two on 27% of dates, though 34% of dates opened at some point.
