You can ask when they open if they are accepting walkups but results have varied. I am in the same boat, and will be asking as a walkup but if it doesn't work that is OK! Keep checking for a cancellation and you may get lucky too.
Keep checking online to see if anything opens up. Depending on when you're going some people have had luck walking up, but others have not so I would choose that as a last resort. When we were there last month walk ups were being told to check back during the evening to see if anything opened up. However, we waited 30 minutes past our reservation time to be seated and the restaurant remained full the entire time we were there. If any walk ups were seated it probably would have been close to closing time that evening.
You can also have lunch at BOG. It is a counter service so it doesn't take reservations. The menu is different from dinner, but very good and you will be able to walk around inside and see all of the rooms.
Great info. Thank you so much. I will check out that thread and if it doeant work, hopefully we can do lunch . Thnks you two. Im feeling better about this
I tried booking a table early this morning 180 + 10 days out for BOG and I was told they have yet to release any tables. What does that mean? Do they block tables for VIPS or special events? I tried 180 - 190 day period.. nothing.
We were online by 6:05 a.m. this morning and by 6:20 a.m. had a table for 4 on Oct. 19 at 7:15 p.m. We check-in Oct. 12 so today was the first day our 180 day window was open. Keep trying!!
I had a similar situation for my September trip. The first few days my booking window was open, nothing was showing. Then it started showing up for SOME days of my trip, so I booked one. Then I wanted another one on a night some friends are joining me in MK, and I spent another few days searching before I was able to book. The odd thing was that it was showing EVERY restaurant in MK as unavailable ALL day, not just BOG. That was what gave me hope, because I know places like the Plaza do not book solid on the first couple days of available booking for September - free dining or not. I was able to get both reservations I wanted but I did have to keep trying for about two weeks total before I had them both.
I just booked all my dining reservations for our trip starting Oct 13-20. There were BOG dinner reservations available every day of our trip if we wanted them for around 5pm. I got the ones I wanted along with all the others I needed. I did these all on line. Good luck!
