The ranking updates continuously on the San Francisco tracker. To see how far ahead each restaurant books and when its tables drop, see the measured release schedule. Also: the hardest tables across NYC and SF.

What are the hardest restaurant reservations to get in San Francisco?

The table above ranks every San Francisco restaurant SnagRes tracks by how little of its booking window was actually bookable for a party of two at the last check. The ones at the top had no open date anywhere in their window. The order is measured availability, rechecked continuously, not reputation or press.

Why are the hardest SF tables mostly not on Resy?

Unlike New York, most of San Francisco's toughest tables sit on OpenTable, Tock and SevenRooms rather than Resy. The Platform column shows which one each restaurant uses, so you know where to be watching. SnagRes covers all four so you do not have to pick.

How often is the San Francisco ranking updated?

Continuously. SnagRes rechecks each tracked SF restaurant across all four platforms and this page is rebuilt from the latest measurements, with the as-of date stamped at the top.
