What is the best way to book Theodora?

  1. 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.
  2. 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 9:45 PM.
  3. 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 email the moment a table appears, with a link straight to Resy.

Frequently asked questions about booking Theodora

How hard is it to get a reservation at Theodora?
At the last check, 6% of the 30-day booking window had a table open for two at Theodora, which puts it among the harder rooms we track. About 1% of open slots land between 7:00 and 8:30 PM. SnagRes checks Resy continuously and emails you when that changes.
What time can you actually get a table at Theodora?
The open times recorded at Theodora run from 5:00 PM to 9:45 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?
Two and four book about equally at Theodora in our data, 6% of the window open for two against 10% for four, so party size is not the lever here. Shifting the night or the seating time moves availability more.
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 watches continuously, so cancellations arriving off-schedule are caught the same as scheduled 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 watches Resy for Theodora continuously and emails you the moment a table opens.
Why is it so hard to get into Theodora?
Only 6% of Theodora's 30-day booking window was bookable for two at the last check, and just 1% of the slots that open fall between 7:00 and 8:30 PM. Most tables here surface as cancellations rather than fresh releases, which is why watching continuously beats 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. With only 6% of the booking window open at the last check, Theodora is not a dependable walk-in, and a reservation is the surer route. Some rooms keep a few bar or counter seats for walk-ins, so it is worth calling Theodora to confirm; otherwise star it and let an alert catch a cancellation.
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.
