Why The Musket Room is hard to book
The room is small by design. An intimate front-and-back dining room on Elizabeth Street, candlelit and tasting-menu first, with a bar and a garden that round out a tight footprint. One Michelin star, held since the restaurant opened in 2013, keeps the prime tables in constant demand, and the best of them, the weekend tasting-menu seatings, are the first to vanish. Tables release on a rolling schedule weeks ahead, and the most coveted nights are claimed within minutes of going live.
We work the release and the cancellations for you. The booking window opens twenty-eight days ahead, and we are watching the moment it does, then watching the night you want for the table that opens when a plan changes. We secure it in your name, at the same restaurant, on the same date you asked for. We never move you to another night and never offer a different room. The seat we hold is the one you wanted.

How do I get a reservation at The Musket Room?
Name The Musket Room 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 The Musket Room so hard to book?
The Musket Room is one of the most in-demand tables in Nolita. 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 The Musket Room reservations open up?
The Musket Room 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.
