How hard is it to get a table at Lilia?

Prime time is the hardest slice here: just 6% of the 3,191,033 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.

The times we see open run from 4:00 PM to 9:30 PM, and the single slot that opens most often is 9:30 PM.

Wednesdays are the softest night on this calendar, open 87% of the times we checked, against 19% on Saturdays. Moving your plan by one weekday is often worth more than moving it by a month.

A party of two is measurably easier here: 60% of the window was bookable at that size against 37% at the other.

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 should you know before booking Lilia?

What is the best way to book Lilia?

  1. Check what is open at Lilia 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 Wednesday. Wednesdays are the softest night on Lilia's calendar in our data, open 87% of the times we checked, against 19% on Saturdays. Shifting the day is usually worth more than shifting the month.
  3. Widen your time to include 9:30 PM. 9:30 PM is the slot that opens most often at Lilia. The full range we see open runs 4:00 PM to 9:30 PM.
  4. Try a party of two. Party size changes the answer here more than people expect: 60% of the window was bookable for two against 37% at the other size.
  5. 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 Lilia on SnagRes and you get an alert the moment a table appears, with a link straight to Resy.

What is the best party size to book Lilia?
A party of two is measurably easier at Lilia: 60% of the window was bookable at that size against 37% at the other. Tables for two are usually the most contested inventory, so trying an adjacent size often beats trying an adjacent night.
What time do Lilia reservations open?
Lilia releases reservations 28 days ahead, at 10:00 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 rechecks throughout the day for cancellations and off-schedule drops.
How far ahead does Lilia release tables?
Lilia releases reservations 28 days ahead, at 10:00 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 Lilia use?
Lilia 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 rechecks Resy for Lilia throughout the day and alerts you when a table opens.
Can you walk in at Lilia?
SnagRes tracks reservations rather than walk-ins, so we cannot see a live bar or counter count at Lilia. 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 Lilia and we will alert 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 Lilia for me?
No. SnagRes tells you the moment a table opens at Lilia 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.
