Restaurants in Brooklyn, New York City

SnagRes tracks 9 hard-to-book Brooklyn restaurants in real time, including Lilia, Theodora, I Cavallini. Availability is checked continuously across Resy, OpenTable, Tock, and SevenRooms, and you can get a text the moment a table opens.

Platform split here: 8 on Resy, 1 on OpenTable. That matters because each platform releases tables differently, and watching only one of them leaves the rest of this list invisible.

4 of these had 10% or less of the booking window open at the last check: Theodora, I Cavallini, The Four Horsemen, Red Hook Tavern.
