Why the Early Table is the best table
August 4, 2026
There is a particular hush to a dining room at five o'clock. The candles have just been lit, the floor has been swept, and the cooks are standing at their stations with nothing on their boards but your order.
That is the Early Table: the opening seating of the night, somewhere between 5:00 and 6:00pm. The bread came out of the oven minutes ago. The specials haven't run out. Your server has time to tell you which wine they actually drink.
It is also the easiest good table in the city to get. While everyone else fights for eight o'clock, you walk in, sit down and watch the room fill around you. By the time the rush arrives you're on dessert, with the whole evening still ahead.
Book an Early Table on DinePlenty and your food is half off. Drinks are full price, and the rest of the night is yours.
