It is not an OpenTable problem. It is a two-week window.
Little Original Joe's on Chestnut Street runs as the Russian Hill chapter of the Joe's lineage, with an Italian-American red-sauce menu and a dining room that currently sits inside SF's secondary-market top 10. The 90-day average trade is one of the city's highest.
OpenTable opens two weeks ahead. Weekend prime tables clear first; weeknights and the late seatings stay open longer. The bar takes walk-ins for the full menu most nights.
