How hard is it to get a table at Muse?
Prime time is the hardest slice here: just 11% of the 53,961 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 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM, and the single slot that opens most often is 9:30 PM.
We have never once seen a Monday or a Tuesday come open, which usually means Muse is closed then rather than simply full.
Thursdays are the softest night on this calendar, open 44% of the times we checked, against 15% on Sundays. Moving your plan by one weekday is often worth more than moving it by a month.
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 Muse?
- Check what is open at Muse 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 Muse's calendar in our data, open 44% of the times we checked, against 15% on Sundays. Shifting the day is usually worth more than shifting the month.
- Widen your time to include 9:30 PM. 9:30 PM is the slot that opens most often at Muse. The full range we see open runs 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM.
- 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 Muse on SnagRes and you get an email the moment a table appears, with a link straight to Resy.

- What time can you actually get a table at Muse?
- The open times recorded at Muse run from 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM, and 9:30 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 easiest night to book Muse?
- Thursday is the softest night on Muse's calendar in our data, open 44% of the times we checked, against 15% on Sunday.
- What is the best party size to book Muse?
- Two and four sit close together at Muse in our data, 20% of the window open for two against 17% for four, a gap too small to plan around, so party size is not the lever here. Shifting the night or the seating time moves availability more.
- Is Muse open on Monday?
- We have never recorded an open table at Muse on a Monday or a Tuesday, which normally indicates a closing day rather than a full book.
- What time do Muse reservations open?
- Muse releases reservations 14 days ahead, at 9:00 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 Muse release tables?
- Muse releases reservations 14 days ahead, at 9:00 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 Muse use?
- Muse 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 Muse throughout the day and alerts you when a table opens.
- Why is it so hard to get into Muse?
- 20% of Muse's 30-day booking window was bookable for two at the last check, and 11% of the slots that open fall between 7:00 and 8:30 PM. Demand is the reason, not a lack of tables: 30% of its dates had a table open up at some point, mostly as cancellations, which is why repeated checks beat refreshing at a fixed hour.
- Can you walk in at Muse?
- SnagRes tracks reservations rather than walk-ins, so we cannot see a live bar or counter count at Muse. 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 Muse 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 Muse for me?
- No. SnagRes tells you the moment a table opens at Muse 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.
