What is the best way to book Au Cheval - Chicago?
- Check what is open at Au Cheval - Chicago 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.
- Aim at a Thursday. Thursdays are the softest night on Au Cheval - Chicago's calendar in our data, open 44% of the times we checked, against 22% on Saturdays. Shifting the day is usually worth more than shifting the month.
- Take the early seating. 67% of what opens at Au Cheval - Chicago is before 6:00 PM. Asking for 7:30 filters out most of the inventory that actually exists.
