It is not a Resy problem. It is a window-plus-dress-code problem.
Daniel Boulud opened Daniel on East 65th in 1993 and has held two Michelin stars almost continuously. The dining room seats about a hundred across two tiers, jackets are required, and the tasting menu has anchored Upper East Side fine dining for a generation.
Resy lists the room but the prime tables are placed by the host stand, not the algorithm. Bar Boulud across town and Café Boulud one block over are the same team's other doors when Daniel itself is impossible.

How do I get a reservation at Daniel?
Name Daniel 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 Daniel so hard to book?
Daniel is one of the most in-demand tables in Upper East Side. 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 Daniel reservations open up?
Daniel 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 Daniel 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 Daniel.
