Chase Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables explained
The Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables program is a Chase Sapphire Reserve and Chase Sapphire Reserve for BusinessSM dining benefit that provides access to reservations at restaurants. The program includes a select group of restaurants across the U.S.—including San Francisco and its surrounding cities.
This dining program is run in partnership with OpenTableOpens overlay. Unlike standard reservation experiences where you’re competing for the same group of available times, Chase Sapphire Reserve cardmembers may find additional reservation opportunities. These slots often include prime dining hours.
While the general public might see a restaurant is fully booked for the next month, a cardmember could find an available slot just a few days in advance because it was reserved specifically for Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables.
Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables in San Francisco

The commonality through San Francisco dining is often "dressed down" luxury, prioritizing the pedigree of the ingredients and the technical skill of the chef over the opulence of the dining room décor.
OpenTable listings include photos of the establishments, their menus, reviews and upcoming experiences. Visitors can make a reservation directly from the site or can choose to be notified when reservations become available if the restaurant is full during their desired time slot.
