• Plan ahead to score a table. While many diners tend to reserve tables during the first few days of the promotion, there are plenty of opportunities to explore and book throughout the ten days. This means you can take your time, savor a meal, and then plan your next reservation at your leisure.

• If you're having trouble getting a dinner reservation at one of the popular Bon Appétit Week restaurants, consider booking a table for lunch instead. These restaurants are usually in high demand during evening hours, so booking during lunchtime can be a great alternative. Another option is reserving a mid-week night when there's typically more availability. *Please check the menu specials to confirm what time of day the restaurant’s special is being offered.
