Can I cancel an OpenTable reservation?

Yes, you can easily cancel or change your reservation from your confirmation email or your OpenTable account via the website or app as long as you are within the restaurant’s cancellation window.

Can I add special requests to my reservation?

Yes, you can add special requests such as dietary preferences or accessibility requests when you make a reservation and select tags to let the restaurant know if you’re celebrating something special, like a birthday or an anniversary. If you think of something after you book—for example, you find out about a companion’s dietary restrictions—some restaurants have even enabled direct messaging so you can make requests directly through the OpenTable app.

Can I find last-minute restaurant reservations?

Absolutely. OpenTable search immediately gives you full visibility into what’s available nearby at the time you select, and for those hard-to-get tables, you can set Notify Me (MacOS and Opentable.com) to receive a notification if a table becomes available on your preferred date and time.

Does OpenTable show real-time restaurant availability?

OpenTable restaurant availability is always accurate and up-to-date, ensuring that your reservations are confirmed instantly.

Does OpenTable offer exclusive access to certain reservations?

Yes, some restaurants offer exclusive access, unique dining experiences, or special offers, which are available for selection when booking a reservation on OpenTable. These can include anything from guided dining experiences that pair specific seating arrangements with custom menus, to reserving a spot near the band on a Friday night.

Can I view full availability for a restaurant?

To see the full availability for a restaurant on OpenTable, go to the restaurant’s profile page on the OpenTable website or app, select your desired date and time, and then choose View Full Availability to browse all available time slots displayed for your chosen party size.
