How to get a table at Vandell?
Updated
Short answer: Vandell releases tables 7 days ahead at midnight PT; be ready at 12:00 AM and target 5:00–6:00 PM or 10:00 PM and later.
Vandell opens reservations just 7 days ahead, and the drop happens at midnight Pacific. That means a Saturday table opens at 12:00 AM the Saturday before, which is late Friday night for most people.
Recommended times
5:00–6:00 PM
Early tables are the least contested of the night.
10:00 PM and later
Late seatings run to nearly midnight and hold out longer.
Sunday–Wednesday
Weeknights draw far fewer people to a midnight drop.
When to be ready to book
- Count back 7 days from your target date; tables open at the very start of that day.
- For a Saturday table, be ready at midnight as Friday night turns into Saturday, one week ahead.
- A one-week window means you can't plan far ahead; every date is decided at its own midnight.
- Parties top out at 6 online.
- A midnight drop is the easiest one to sleep through, which is exactly when automation helps most.
