Reservations open on the first of each month for the following month, with the Resy platform going live at 7:00 a.m. ET and phone bookings starting at 9:30 a.m. ET the same day, per En Primeur Club's dining guide. Weekend dinner slots are described as 'especially competitive,' with coveted times vanishing within hours of release.

A credit card is required to hold the reservation, and cancellations inside 48 hours or no-shows carry a $150-per-person fee, according to the same guide. Diners who miss the main dining room can still walk into the lounge, which accepts guests without a reservation.
