Prime time is the hardest slice here: just 4% of the 1,039,865 open slots we have seen fall between 7:00 and 8:30 PM. Widening to an earlier or later seating is the single biggest thing you can do.

62% of what opens up here is before 6:00 PM, so an early dinner is your best route in.

Thursdays are the softest night on this calendar, open 74% of the times we checked, against 63% on Sundays. Moving your plan by one weekday is often worth more than moving it by a month.

Resy restaurants usually work on a rolling window: one new day appears at the far edge of the calendar each night, and cancellations return tables at no fixed time.

What is the best way to book Au Cheval?

  1. Check what is open at Au Cheval right now. Start from the live calendar on this page rather than from Resy. It shows every date in the 30-day window with its current status, so you can see at a glance whether anything is bookable before you spend time on the platform.
  2. Aim at a Thursday. Thursdays are the softest night on Au Cheval's calendar in our data, open 74% of the times we checked, against 63% on Sundays. Shifting the day is usually worth more than shifting the month.
  3. Take the early seating. 62% of what opens at Au Cheval is before 6:00 PM. Asking for 7:30 filters out most of the inventory that actually exists.
  4. Set an alert instead of refreshing. Resy restaurants usually work on a rolling window: one new day appears at the far edge of the calendar each night, and cancellations return tables at no fixed time. Cancellations arrive on no schedule at all, which is why refreshing by hand does not work. Star Au Cheval on SnagRes and you get an email the moment a table appears, with a link straight to Resy.

Thursday is the softest night on Au Cheval's calendar in our data, open 74% of the times we checked, against 63% on Sunday.
What is the best party size to book Au Cheval?
Two and four book about equally at Au Cheval in our data, 70% of the window open for two against 70% for four, so party size is not the lever here. Shifting the night or the seating time moves availability more.
What time do Au Cheval reservations open?
Au Cheval releases reservations 21 days ahead, at 9:00 AM. Resy restaurants usually work on a rolling window: one new day appears at the far edge of the calendar each night, and cancellations return tables at no fixed time. SnagRes also watches continuously, so cancellations arriving off-schedule are caught the same as scheduled drops.
How far ahead does Au Cheval release tables?
Au Cheval releases reservations 21 days ahead, at 9:00 AM. A new date appears at the far edge of that window each cycle, and cancellations can surface at any point in between.
Which booking platform does Au Cheval use?
Au Cheval takes reservations on Resy. Resy restaurants usually work on a rolling window: one new day appears at the far edge of the calendar each night, and cancellations return tables at no fixed time. SnagRes watches Resy for Au Cheval continuously and emails you the moment a table opens.
Can you walk in at Au Cheval?
SnagRes tracks reservations rather than walk-ins, so we cannot see a live bar or counter count at Au Cheval. Many rooms do hold a few seats for walk-ins, often early or at the bar, so it is worth calling ahead. If you would rather lock in a table, star Au Cheval and we will email you the moment a reservation opens.
Is using a reservation alert legal?
Yes. SnagRes only notifies you when a table opens; the booking itself is an ordinary reservation you make yourself on Resy, under your own name. It does not resell tables, run bots to hold them, or automate the booking, so it does not cross the lines a resale or auto-booking service does.
Does SnagRes book Au Cheval for me?
No. SnagRes tells you the moment a table opens at Au Cheval and links you straight to Resy with the date prefilled, then you complete the reservation yourself. It never logs into your account and never books on your behalf, which is what keeps your account in good standing.
