It is not a Tock problem. It is a monthly-drop problem.
Fredrik Berselius runs Aska out of a converted warehouse in Williamsburg, serving a twelve-to-fourteen-course Nordic tasting menu that earned two Michelin stars. The room seats about twenty-six across a counter and a few tables, two seatings a night.
Tock opens reservations in monthly drops, and the drop fills inside minutes. The downstairs bar takes the same menu in à la carte form and is the back door to the same kitchen.

How do I get a reservation at Aska?
Name Aska and the night you want. We book it on your account the instant a table opens or a cancellation appears, and you only pay if we actually get it.
Why is Aska so hard to book?
Aska is one of the most in-demand tables in Williamsburg. Prime-time seats are claimed within seconds of release, and many never reach the public at all, so refreshing on your own rarely works.
When do Aska reservations open up?
Aska releases tables on a set schedule, and seats also reappear when other guests cancel. We watch both around the clock and move the instant one opens, so you never have to refresh at midnight.
How much does it cost to book Aska through The Elusive List?
One flat fee, charged only when we confirm your table. No table, no charge. Sign in to see the exact fee for Aska.
