Does a Michelin star make a table harder to get?

Not reliably. Difficulty tracks demand against room size and release behaviour, not the guide. Several one-star rooms here are effectively unbookable while some three-star rooms take reservations 30 days out without much fuss, because a large dining room releasing a full calendar behaves very differently from a twenty-seat counter.

Figures are measured from our own scrape history. How we measure this.
