OpenTable

Dont bother setting a notification for a place you would like to make a reservation. You will get endless notifications telling you something is available and then when you click it, dang you just missed it. Literally worthless...also, dont trust the reviews on this platform, they are not even close to being accurate. This app use to be my go-to, but they lost their way a while ago and its much easier and a better experience to just call the restaurant to make reservations...old school.

Convenient, easy to use. I would like to see more filtering options for special offerings like a brunch buffet, etc. It would be great to have flash reservations for the same night if a restaurant has a surprise opening. I tend to work a lot and with unexpected hours so "planning ahead" isn't generally an option for me when it comes to date nights, etc.

Open Table is quick and easy to use, with calendar and time features clear and user-friendly. My only slight issue is that the window for arriving for your reservation is exactly 15 minutes. Once when I was running late, Open Table assumed I was a no-show when in fact I had arrived after calling to say I would be late and enjoyed the meal. Open Table stated that if it happened again, they would require a photo of my guest check to confirm I had actually kept the reservation!

The app allows you to set alerts for availability when your favorite place is bookwd up. I have receivwd dozens of these alerts when seating became available. NOT ONCE HAVE I GOTTEN THE NEWLY OPENED SEATS, EVEN WHEN CLICKING ON THE NOTIFICATION WITHIN SECONDS OF IT POPPING UP. The only thing I can imagine is that delivery of notifications is so slow that they arrive after those seats have been claimed by others. I have been after seats in one venue on any of FOUR nights, for the last 8 weeks.

I love this app! I don't enjoy waiting for a table, calling a restaurant to find out how long a wait is and I am way too busy to remember to call to make a reservation. This app takes all the guess work out of where and when to go eat a meal. I especially like the atmosphere and price categories so that you can filter out places that aren't what you're looking for. This app is super useful 👍
