It is not a Resy problem. It is a two-week window.
Max Boonthanakit and Lijo George opened Camphor in 2022 in the Arts District and earned a Michelin star within a year. The menu marries French bistro structure with Indian spice; the dining room is about forty seats with a bar that seats another twelve.
Resy opens two weeks ahead. The 7-to-9pm seatings clear first; the bar takes walk-ins for the full menu most nights.

How do I get a reservation at Camphor?
Name Camphor 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 Camphor so hard to book?
Camphor is one of the most in-demand tables in Arts District. 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 Camphor reservations open up?
Camphor 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 Camphor 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 Camphor.
