How do you get a table at Eleven Madison Park in New York?
How do you get a table at Eleven Madison Park in New York? Book on Resy on the 1st of the month before the one you want, and join the waitlist if your date is gone. The restaurant says it opens reservations on the first of every month for the following month, so all of January opens on December 1, 2026. Checked November 13, 2026.
11 Madison Avenue sits across from Madison Square Park, and the Michelin Guide lists it with three stars. The restaurant does not publish the hour a month opens, so I would be on Resy early on the 1st with a card ready and three dates in order. One warning first: all sales are final and non-refundable, with no cancellation or rescheduling, so book only a date you can keep.
What are Eleven Madison Park's booking rules?
| Rule | What the restaurant says |
|---|---|
| Booking window | The 1st of every month opens the following month; October 1 opens all of November |
| Release hour | Not published; the FAQ states a date, not a time |
| Cancellation | No cancellation or rescheduling; all sales final and non-refundable |
| Waitlist | A waitlist on Resy if your date is booked; the restaurant says it will be in touch if something opens |
| Full tasting menu | Six courses, $385 per guest, typically two to three hours |
| Bar tasting menu | Four to five courses in the lounge, $255 per guest; the FAQ's bar answer says lounge tables begin at $225, so read the price on Resy for your date |
| Bar counter | Seats at the bar counter are first come, first served and are not booked |
| Gift cards | Resy cannot take gift cards as payment; the restaurant's accounting team credits a gift card to the card you booked with |
| Gratuity | Not included; left at your discretion |
New York is three hours ahead of California all year, so whatever hour Resy shows is three hours earlier in California. The restaurant does not publish the hour, so check Resy before the 1st.
When does your date open?
| Table for | Opens on | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Any date in December 2026 | Opened November 1 | Check Resy for what is left |
| Any date in January 2027 | Tuesday, December 1, 2026 | Hour not published |
| Any date in February 2027 | Friday, January 1, 2027 | Hour not published |
| Any date in March 2027 | Monday, February 1, 2027 | Hour not published |
A whole month opens at once, so have three dates in order. The FAQ gives the rule as a monthly date, not a day count, so the 1st is the day to be ready even when it falls on a Sunday or Monday.
What should you do if Eleven Madison Park is full?
Join the waitlist on Resy for the date you want. The restaurant says it keeps a waitlist there and will get in touch if something opens. That is the one fallback it gives for a full date.
For the bar, the restaurant says you can dine at the bar: lounge tables take the Bar Tasting Menu, and bar counter seats are first come, first served. It does not say what time to arrive or how long the wait is, so I will not guess. For questions the FAQ gives info@elevenmadisonpark.com.
For another New York table that opens on the 1st, Le Bernardin publishes its January hours.
How does Eleven Madison Park fit into a New York trip?
Because there is no refund and no change, book it after the flights are fixed, not before. A trip in the second half of January means being on Resy on December 1. The booking windows guide compares how far ahead each hard table opens, and the reservation release calendar lists the first-of-the-month tables together.
