Theodora is one of the tough ones, and its calendar was fully booked when we last looked. That is normal here, and it is not the end of the story: most people who eat at Theodora get in on a cancellation, which can appear at any hour and usually goes within minutes. We recheck Resy throughout the day and alert you when one turns up, so you can stop refreshing.
“Reservations are available via Resy 30 days in advance at 9 am.”

How hard is it to get a table at Theodora?
Theodora books up fast, but people do get in: 0% of its 30-day window was open for two at the last check, yet 100% of its dates had a table open up at some point across 644,324 SnagRes checks. Those tables are cancellations, which land at no set hour and go in minutes, so an alert beats a refresh habit.
Prime time is the hardest slice here: just 4% of the 26,181 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.
59% of what opens up here is 9:00 PM or later, so a late dinner will get you in faster than waiting for a different date.
The times we see open run from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and the single slot that opens most often is 9:30 PM.
A party of four is measurably easier here: 17% of the window was bookable at that size against 0% 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.

- Parties of 2 or 3 can cancel until 12:15 PM on the day; parties of 4 or more need 24 hours notice to avoid a fee. (resy.com)

What is the best way to book Theodora?
- Check what is open at Theodora 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.
- Widen your time to include 9:30 PM. 9:30 PM is the slot that opens most often at Theodora. The full range we see open runs 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
- Try a party of four. Party size changes the answer here more than people expect: 17% of the window was bookable for four against 0% at the other size.
- 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 Theodora on SnagRes and you get an alert the moment a table appears, with a link straight to Resy.

- What time can you actually get a table at Theodora?
- The open times recorded at Theodora run from 5:00 PM to 10:00 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 best party size to book Theodora?
- A party of four is measurably easier at Theodora: 17% of the window was bookable at that size against 0% 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 Theodora reservations open?
- Theodora releases reservations 30 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 Theodora release tables?
- Theodora releases reservations 30 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 Theodora use?
- Theodora 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 Theodora throughout the day and alerts you when a table opens.
- Why is it so hard to get into Theodora?
- 0% of Theodora's 30-day booking window was bookable for two at the last check, and 4% of the slots that open fall between 7:00 and 8:30 PM. Demand is the reason, not a lack of tables: 100% 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 Theodora?
- SnagRes tracks reservations rather than walk-ins, so we cannot see a live bar count. Theodora is busy enough that a walk-in is a gamble, but many rooms like it keep a few bar or counter seats, so it is worth calling Theodora to ask. For a sure table, star it and let an alert tell you the moment one 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 Theodora for me?
- No. SnagRes tells you the moment a table opens at Theodora 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.
