# When Do Minetta Tavern Reservations Open?

Minetta Tavern is a French restaurant in Greenwich Village, New York ($$) that takes reservations on Resy.

On DinnerElite's booking-window estimate, tables at Minetta Tavern are claimed an average of 10 days before the reservation date. That estimate comes from the restaurant's published release window where it states one, and is modeled from price tier and neighborhood where it does not.

## Good to know before you book

Minetta Tavern books on Resy, and by phone at (212) 475-3850, but not by email, per the restaurant's own site in July 2026. Two house rules are worth knowing before you go: the dress code is smart casual (no beach attire), and staff ask guests to keep cellphone use to short, necessary calls. The MacDougal Street room doesn't publish a release window, so when Resy shows nothing for your date, a cancellation alert is the reliable way in. As with any room this busy, prime weekend tables go first, so weeknights and early or late seatings usually give you better odds.

## How to get in

Book the moment the reservation window opens on Resy, or set a free DinnerElite alert: it watches Minetta Tavern around the clock and emails you the instant a matching table opens, whether from a fresh release or a cancellation. DinnerElite sends alerts and never books automatically.
