DinnerElite
Reservation alerts for NYC's hardest-to-book restaurants
Booking NYC's best restaurants means catching a drop at the exact right second or refreshing booking pages for days. DinnerElite fixes that: pick any of 214 tracked restaurants, set your preferred dates, times, and party size, and get an instant alert when a cancellation or newly released table matches. We also publish each restaurant's reservation drop-time data — which platform it books on, how far ahead tables go, and when reservations open — so you can plan the drop or let the alerts do the work. Free plan watches 1 restaurant; Premium ($10/mo or $100/yr) is unlimited. Built for people who'd rather eat at Carbone than fight for it.

Hey Fazier! I built DinnerElite after too many nights refreshing Resy trying to catch a table at Carbone. It watches 214 of NYC's hardest-to-book restaurants across both Resy and OpenTable and emails you the second a table matching your dates, times, and party size opens up. We also publish each restaurant's reservation drop-time data — when reservations open, how far ahead they go, and on which platform — so you can plan the drop instead of guessing. The free plan watches one restaurant, so you can point it at your white whale and see it work. Would love feedback from anyone who's fought for a NYC table!
DinnerElite has great potential! A few improvements could make it even better. I'd love to share my feedback and suggestions. Email: [email protected]
Getting reservations at hard-to-book NYC restaurants has been pure luck mixed with obsessive redialing. You either camp out refreshing OpenTable at midnight when reservations drop, or you keep your phone close hoping to catch a cancellation within the 30-second window it appears. It's turned restaurant hunting from something enjoyable into a second job. Reservation alert tools have existed but most are either clunky or scammy. Having a clean alert system specifically built around NYC's top tables could genuinely be a game-changer for anyone who values dining out. The fact that it integrates into your normal workflow instead of requiring constant manual checking means you could actually relax while waiting for that 8pm table at your target spot to open up. For restaurant enthusiasts, this is huge.
DinnerElite solves a real pain point for anyone trying to book high-demand restaurants in NYC. Real-time reservation alerts and reservation drop-time insights can save hours of refreshing booking pages. After finally securing a table, you can make the conversation even more fun by creating unique emoji combinations with https://emojikitchens.org/ to share your dining plans with friends. It's a clever pairing for food lovers who enjoy both great meals and creative messaging.
