How booking Comedor works
Comedor opens tables on OpenTable a set number of days in advance, and the best nights sell out quickly. After that, availability comes from cancellations as plans firm up. Release timing changes, so confirm it on the live listing rather than a fixed number.
- The bar can seat walk-ins when the dining room is full, and the room's design makes it a fine spot for the full menu.
- Early and late seatings open more often than the prime mid-evening window.
- Weeknights carry far less demand than Friday or Saturday.
The best strategy for Comedor
Trying once at the release minute pits you against everyone watching the same OpenTable listing. The seats most people land come from the cancellation wave in the final 48 hours, which rewards a continuous watch and an instant confirmation.
