Why this room is hard

It is not an OpenTable problem. It is a two-week window.

Iron Gate runs out of a 1923 carriage house in Dupont Circle with a covered courtyard and a wood-fire kitchen. The menu pulls from the Eastern Mediterranean and the room is one of the city's most-photographed patios in season.

OpenTable opens two weeks ahead. Courtyard seats fill first in season; the indoor dining room stays open longer. The bar takes walk-ins for a shorter menu.
