How hard is it to get a table at Dandelion?

34% of the open slots recorded at Dandelion fall between 7:00 and 8:30 PM, out of 261,530 observed, so prime time genuinely does surface here.

The times we see open run from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and the single slot that opens most often is 6:30 PM.

We have never once seen a Sunday or a Monday come open, which usually means Dandelion 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 Dandelion?

  1. Check what is open at Dandelion 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 6:30 PM. 6:30 PM is the slot that opens most often at Dandelion. The full range we see open runs 5:00 PM to 10:00 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 Dandelion on SnagRes and you get an email the moment a table appears, with a link straight to Resy.

Frequently asked questions about booking Dandelion

How hard is it to get a reservation at Dandelion?
At the last check, 33% of the 30-day booking window had a table open for two at Dandelion. About 34% 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 Dandelion?
The open times recorded at Dandelion run from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and 6:30 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 Dandelion?
Two and four book about equally at Dandelion in our data, 33% of the window open for two against 33% for four, so party size is not the lever here. Shifting the night or the seating time moves availability more.
Is Dandelion open on Sunday?
We have never recorded an open table at Dandelion on a Sunday or a Monday, which normally indicates a closing day rather than a full book.
What time do Dandelion reservations open?
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. We have not yet measured a fixed drop time for Dandelion, so we do not claim one. SnagRes watches it continuously instead, which catches cancellations and off-schedule drops alike.
How far ahead does Dandelion release tables?
The furthest-out date we have seen bookable at Dandelion was 13 days ahead, so its window runs roughly that far. New dates land at the far edge and cancellations surface in between, which is why watching beats checking once.
Which booking platform does Dandelion use?
Dandelion 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 Dandelion continuously and emails you the moment a table opens.
Why is it so hard to get into Dandelion?
Only 33% of Dandelion's 30-day booking window was bookable for two at the last check, and just 34% of the slots that open fall between 7:00 and 8:30 PM. Most tables here surface as cancellations rather than fresh releases, which is why watching continuously beats refreshing at a fixed hour.
Can you walk in at Dandelion?
SnagRes tracks reservations rather than walk-ins, so we cannot see a live bar or counter count at Dandelion. 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 Dandelion 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 Dandelion for me?
No. SnagRes tells you the moment a table opens at Dandelion 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.
