Why Noreetuh is hard to book
Noreetuh is an intimate room, and that is the whole point. The kitchen, led by Chung Chow and his Per Se alumni partners, turns out modern Hawaiian cooking against a wine list deep enough to draw sommeliers and collectors from across the city. Tables release only two weeks ahead, and the best nights and the best times vanish the moment the window opens. With so few seats and such a loyal following, prime weekend reservations are gone in minutes, leaving most callers to settle for an early seating or no seating at all.
We work the window for you. The booking drops fourteen days out at midnight Eastern, and we are there the instant it opens, then we keep watching the cancellations right up to your night. You tell us the date you want and we secure that table in your name at Noreetuh, same room, same date, never a substitute. You simply arrive.

Why is Noreetuh so hard to book?
