Does California Grill Brunch accept walk-ins?

I have not been able to get January reservation. I had no idea it would be so tough 180+ days out!

Keep trying! It’s a great experience.

IDK about walk-ins. You can’t just walk into the restaurant and ask. To go to the California Grill with an ADR, you have to go to a reception area on the second floor of the Contemporary Tower and be escorted up by someone with an elevator key.

I guess the receptionist can check if they have room for your party, but I wouldn’t count on it. You have plenty of time between now and January. Keeping looking and sign up for the Touring Plans ADR finder. Good luck!

Ok, I'm all signed up at Touring Plans. Thanks for the suggestion! *fingers crossed*

i think something is actually wrong with the reservation system for california grill brunch right now (can't book brunch for many many dates that really shouldn't be sold out). either that or they just haven't released reservations on some of the dates yet.

I'm looking for same date, hasn't been available at all since my 180 adr which was last Friday. Before my 180 I was testing out the system and saw availability for Jan 20, 13th, etc, but when I looked on my adr day there were no rese available for any day. I doubt they all booked up over the course of just a day or 2. Furthermore, when you check on the app, it doesn't even give the option of looking for a morning adr on any Sunday (even if its booked, they should still give you an option to check)
There's a thread on dis about when this happened before a few months ago, but then returned to N
Normal

The app and website is screwed up again. Shocking, I know. Call to make an ADR.

I agree. I had no issues getting a reservation in April, in fact there was availability until the day before we ate there. Trying for an ADR in October has been difficult even at 180.

Touring Plans is how I scored my ADR!

Same, a time finally came through for us, though I think they either changed how many reservations they release or the brunch is wildly more popular now than earlier this year.

OK - original post?

Best I can say is "good luck". YOU will do as you choose. Just us, I would advise an ADR.
