Can you walk in at Obélix?
Sometimes. We track reservations rather than walk-ins, so we cannot see a live count at Obélix, but many rooms hold a few seats early or at the bar. Call ahead to ask; for a set time, star it and we will alert you when a reservation opens.
Is using a reservation alert legal?
Yes. SnagRes only tells you a table has opened; you make the booking yourself on OpenTable, under your own name. It does not resell tables, hold them with bots or book for you, which is where resale and auto-booking services cross the line.
Does SnagRes book Obélix for me?
No. SnagRes tells you the moment a table opens at Obélix and links you to OpenTable with the date filled in, and you finish the booking yourself. It never signs in to your account, so the account stays in good standing.
