It is not a Tock problem. It is a drop-day problem.
Jordan Kahn's Vespertine is a four-story tower designed as a single restaurant experience — the elevator ride, the rooftop garden, and the dining room are all part of the menu. One Michelin star, one of the most theatrical rooms in the country.
Tock opens in seasonal drops. The room is closed in winter and operates a limited number of nights per year. The team's Destroyer (the team's casual breakfast counter) shares the building and is the open-during-the-day door.

How do I get a reservation at Vespertine?
Name Vespertine 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 Vespertine so hard to book?
Vespertine is one of the most in-demand tables in Culver City. 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 Vespertine reservations open up?
Vespertine 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 Vespertine 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 Vespertine.
