We haven’t pinned down a repeatable release time for Albi yet. New dates open on Resy roughly 30 days ahead, but our first sightings land at different hours — which can mean the restaurant releases irregularly, or that new dates sell out faster than any published time could help with. What’s dependable here is cancellations: most of the tables we catch open up much closer to the reservation date, throughout the day.

Miss the drop? Cancellations surface all day long — that’s what the alerts are for.
