Restaurant Reservation Release Times

Every release time on this page is confirmed. 56 are verified by repeated detection — we caught the boundary date flip into the booking window in our 5-second monitoring burst on more than one day — and 20 are confirmed but not yet verified. No internet rumors.

How "verified" works

For each restaurant on this page, we run a polling burst around the suspected release moment and look for the boundary date (today + the booking window) flipping into the bookable calendar with fresh inventory. The catch count next to each verified entry is the number of distinct release days we caught the flip on.

Verified = caught on 2+ separate days with a consistent release time and sub-30-second detection lag. Confirmed = confirmed by a targeted check or the restaurant's own policy, but not yet caught often enough to be verified.

Catches at or past the edge of our regular monitoring window don't count toward verification: there the burst is the first poll to see the date, so it cannot tell a release from a date that was already open.

Frequently asked questions

How do you verify these release times?

We monitor each restaurant's reservation API in 5-second bursts around the suspected release time. When the burst captures fresh slots inside the boundary date, we've caught the release. The catch count and detection lag shown next to each verified entry is the actual evidence — it's the number of distinct release days we've personally observed it fire on. A confirmed entry's time was confirmed by a targeted check or the restaurant's own policy, and our catches have not yet cleared the verified bar.

Why is my favorite restaurant not on this list?

We only publish release times we've confirmed. If a restaurant releases in weekly or monthly batches, takes reservations by request, books far ahead with no daily drop, or we haven't confirmed its time yet, we leave it off. We add new ones as evidence accumulates.

What's the difference between "Verified" and "Confirmed"?

"Verified" means we caught the release fire on at least 2 separate days, with a sub-30-second detection lag and a consistent release time and booking window across every catch. "Confirmed" means the time was confirmed by a targeted check of the booking calendar or by the restaurant's own policy, but our catches do not yet meet the verified bar. Use the verified bucket to plan; use the confirmed bucket as a starting point.

Do release times ever change?

Occasionally — restaurants do adjust their drop times, especially during holidays or when ownership changes. Our monitoring runs continuously, so if a time shifts, our evidence will reflect it within 1-2 release cycles and this page will update automatically (it pulls live from the same monitoring data).

Why are most popular restaurants NOT at midnight?

Midnight was the standard 5+ years ago, but most operators have moved to morning windows (9 AM - noon ET) so their hospitality teams aren't fielding reservation drama at 12:01 AM. The 'midnight ET' advice is still on most restaurant guides because it gets copy-pasted around — but our continuous monitoring shows the majority of popular spots fire between 9 AM and noon ET.
