How hard is it to get a table at Delfina?

59% of the open slots recorded at Delfina fall between 7:00 and 8:30 PM, out of 259,530 observed, so prime time genuinely does surface here.

The times we see open run from 5:00 PM to 9:45 PM, and the single slot that opens most often is 7:15 PM.

What is the best way to book Delfina?

  1. Check what is open at Delfina right now. Start from the live calendar on this page rather than from OpenTable. 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 7:15 PM. 7:15 PM is the slot that opens most often at Delfina. The full range we see open runs 5:00 PM to 9:45 PM.
  3. Set an alert instead of refreshing. OpenTable windows run long, often 60 to 90 days, so the far edge of the calendar rarely matters. What moves is the near term, as people cancel and rebook. Cancellations arrive on no schedule at all, which is why refreshing by hand does not work. Star Delfina on SnagRes and you get an email the moment a table appears, with a link straight to OpenTable.

Frequently asked questions about booking Delfina

How hard is it to get a reservation at Delfina?
At the last check, 100% of the 30-day booking window had a table open for two at Delfina. About 59% of open slots land between 7:00 and 8:30 PM. SnagRes checks OpenTable continuously and emails you when that changes.
What time can you actually get a table at Delfina?
The open times recorded at Delfina run from 5:00 PM to 9:45 PM, and 7:15 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 Delfina?
Two and four book about equally at Delfina in our data, 100% of the window open for two against 100% for four, so party size is not the lever here. Shifting the night or the seating time moves availability more.
What time do Delfina reservations open?
Delfina releases reservations 90 days ahead. We have not yet pinned the exact hour. OpenTable windows run long, often 60 to 90 days, so the far edge of the calendar rarely matters. What moves is the near term, as people cancel and rebook. SnagRes watches continuously rather than at a fixed hour.
How far ahead does Delfina release tables?
Delfina releases reservations 90 days ahead. 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 Delfina use?
Delfina takes reservations on OpenTable. OpenTable windows run long, often 60 to 90 days, so the far edge of the calendar rarely matters. What moves is the near term, as people cancel and rebook. SnagRes watches OpenTable for Delfina continuously and emails you the moment a table opens.
Can you walk in at Delfina?
SnagRes tracks reservations rather than walk-ins, so we cannot see a live bar or counter count at Delfina. 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 Delfina 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 OpenTable, 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 Delfina for me?
No. SnagRes tells you the moment a table opens at Delfina and links you straight to OpenTable 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.
