What is the best way to book Per Se?

  1. Check what is open at Per Se right now. Start from the live calendar on this page rather than from Tock. 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 Thursday. Thursdays are the softest night on Per Se's calendar in our data, open 100% of the times we checked, against 83% on Wednesdays. Shifting the day is usually worth more than shifting the month.
  3. Widen your time to include 4:30 PM. 4:30 PM is the slot that opens most often at Per Se. The full range we see open runs 11:30 AM to 9:00 PM.
  4. Set an alert instead of refreshing. Tock began as a prepaid ticketing platform and still behaves like one. Seats tend to go on sale in blocks at a set moment, often weeks ahead, and a returned seat can reappear without warning when someone cancels a prepaid booking. Cancellations arrive on no schedule at all, which is why refreshing by hand does not work. Star Per Se on SnagRes and you get an email the moment a table appears, with a link straight to Tock.

Thursday is the softest night on Per Se's calendar in our data, open 100% of the times we checked, against 83% on Wednesday.
What is the best party size to book Per Se?
Two and four book about equally at Per Se 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 Per Se tickets open?
Per Se releases tickets on the 1st of the previous month, at 10:00 AM. Tock began as a prepaid ticketing platform and still behaves like one. Seats tend to go on sale in blocks at a set moment, often weeks ahead, and a returned seat can reappear without warning when someone cancels a prepaid booking. SnagRes also watches continuously, so cancellations arriving off-schedule are caught the same as scheduled drops.
How far ahead does Per Se release tables?
Per Se releases tickets on the 1st of the previous month, 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 Per Se use?
Per Se takes tickets on Tock. Tock began as a prepaid ticketing platform and still behaves like one. Seats tend to go on sale in blocks at a set moment, often weeks ahead, and a returned seat can reappear without warning when someone cancels a prepaid booking. SnagRes watches Tock for Per Se continuously and emails you the moment a table opens.
Can you walk in at Per Se?
SnagRes tracks reservations rather than walk-ins, so we cannot see a live bar or counter count at Per Se. 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 Per Se 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 Tock, 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 Per Se for me?
No. SnagRes tells you the moment a table opens at Per Se and links you straight to Tock 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.
