Why this room is hard

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

Evan and Sarah Rich opened Rich Table in Hayes Valley in 2012 with a modern Californian menu and a dining room that has run as one of the neighborhood's defining tables. The sardine chips and the porcini doughnuts anchor the menu.

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.

Questions

Rich Table San Francisco, the FAQ.

How do I get a reservation at Rich Table San Francisco?

Name Rich Table San Francisco 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 Rich Table San Francisco so hard to book?

Rich Table San Francisco is one of the most in-demand tables in Hayes Valley. 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 Rich Table San Francisco reservations open up?

Rich Table San Francisco 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 Rich Table San Francisco 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 Rich Table San Francisco.
