SnagRes tracks 4 hard-to-book Jackson Square restaurants in real time, including Kokkari Estiatorio, Cotogna, Quince. Availability is checked continuously across Resy, OpenTable, Tock, and SevenRooms, and you can get a text the moment a table opens.
Platform split here: 3 on SevenRooms, 1 on OpenTable. That matters because each platform releases tables differently, and watching only one of them leaves the rest of this list invisible.
1 of these had 10% or less of the booking window open at the last check: Verjus.
All tracked San Francisco restaurants ยท How to get SF reservations
The restaurants tracked here cover Mediterranean, Italian, French. Cuisine pages span both cities, so they are the better starting point when the food matters more than the location.
Mission and Castro (15), Nob Hill and North Beach (9), Hayes Valley and Fillmore (7), Marina and Presidio Heights (6), SoMa (6), Downtown SF (4), Fillmore (4), Chinatown (3). Widening the search by a neighbourhood or two is usually the cheapest way to turn a fully booked night into an available one.
Across the 4 Jackson Square restaurants SnagRes tracks in SF, an average of 35% of the bookable window is open at any given check. The tightest is Verjus at 7%. Anything under about 10% means tables are effectively gone the moment they are released, so an alert matters more than refreshing.
Of the 1 with a confirmed drop time, 1 release at 12:00 AM, and the typical booking window is 7 days ahead. Release times are set per restaurant rather than per platform, so two places on the same platform can drop hours apart. The full table is on the release times page.
Of the 4, 3 book on SevenRooms, 1 on OpenTable. Each platform releases tables on its own schedule, so watching only one leaves the rest of this list invisible. SnagRes checks all four continuously.
