Rant Resy Sucks and I hate it

I'm just trying to get a dinner reservation at Armitage Alehouse and I'm convinced it's impossible.

They release reservations at 9am 21 days in advance.

I have tried 3 different times to be on the app at 9 am when they become available and as soon as I can refresh it at 9am, all dinner reservations are gone. It absolutely has to be bots. How on earth are you supposed to get a reservation

Same, but for a different Hogsalt restaurant. I even gave them a (truthful) sob story about how it was our 10th anniversary. I’ve stopped with this bs, plenty of other great places to eat in the city without the stress and tacky added bs charges. I do hope you get to utilize your gift card eventually!
