Counts as of Oct 24, 2:40 PM EDT. New openings only: each table counts once, the first time our monitors saw it, and tables that were already bookable when we started watching a date, a party size, a time of day or the restaurant are left out. We count only the party sizes we check here, which follow what our members ask for (these were for parties of 1, 2 and 6): openings for other party sizes go uncounted, and so may some at times far from the hours members follow. These are not completed bookings; alerts depend on your preferences and a booking is not guaranteed. How we collect this data.

§ 05 · The problem
Why Raoul's is hard to book.
Check Resy for the restaurant’s current booking window. Cancellations can create another opportunity to book. We monitor for these openings, but cannot guarantee one will appear.
§ 06 · How to get in
Tips for a reservation at Raoul's.
Confirm the booking rules
Use Resy and the restaurant’s official site to confirm the release window, seating options and cancellation terms. Monitoring observations are not official policy.
Choose preferences you can use
Include additional dates or times only if you can attend them. A narrow time window or party size can exclude openings seen elsewhere on this page.
Keep a backup restaurant
Compare nearby restaurants below. Quiet activity does not mean the monitor is broken, and frequent observed openings do not guarantee one that matches your plans.
