How hard is it to get a table at Dame?

Prime time is the hardest slice here: just 14% of the 870,190 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.

64% of what opens up here is 9:00 PM or later, so a late dinner will get you in faster than waiting for a different date.

The times we see open run from 5:00 PM to 10:30 PM, and the single slot that opens most often is 10:00 PM.

We have never once seen a Sunday come open, which usually means Dame is closed then rather than simply full.

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 Dame?

  1. Check what is open at Dame 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. Widen your time to include 10:00 PM. 10:00 PM is the slot that opens most often at Dame. The full range we see open runs 5:00 PM to 10:30 PM.
  3. 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 Dame on SnagRes and you get an email the moment a table appears, with a link straight to Resy.

Frequently asked questions about booking Dame

How hard is it to get a reservation at Dame?
At the last check, 60% of the 30-day booking window had a table open for two at Dame. About 14% of open slots land between 7:00 and 8:30 PM. SnagRes checks Resy continuously and emails you when that changes.
What time can you actually get a table at Dame?
The open times recorded at Dame run from 5:00 PM to 10:30 PM, and 10:00 PM is the slot that comes open most often. These are the times left available, not the restaurant's full service hours.
What is the best party size to book Dame?
Two and four book about equally at Dame in our data, 60% of the window open for two against 60% for four, so party size is not the lever here. Shifting the night or the seating time moves availability more.
Is Dame open on Sunday?
We have never recorded an open table at Dame on a Sunday, which normally indicates a closing day rather than a full book.
What time do Dame reservations open?
Dame releases reservations 21 days ahead, at 12:00 PM. 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 Dame release tables?
Dame releases reservations 21 days ahead, at 12:00 PM. 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 Dame use?
Dame 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 Dame continuously and emails you the moment a table opens.
Can you walk in at Dame?
SnagRes tracks reservations rather than walk-ins, so we cannot see a live bar or counter count at Dame. 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 Dame 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 Dame for me?
No. SnagRes tells you the moment a table opens at Dame 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.
