Trying for V&A's

[esbee27]

I'm hoping to snag a reservation in the main dining room at Victoria and Albert's tomorrow. Any tips on maximizing my chances? It looks like you can call or book online. Does one tend to work better than the other? What about having all three people in our party trying simultaneously?

Whether you call or book online you'll get the same results; One or the other does not have different availability, so you can do whichever is easiest for you. I'm not sure why having 3 people try to grab a reservation at the same time would make any difference...either they have availability or they don't, right? Unless I'm missing something. Good luck to you, though!

Is tomorrow your 180? I would be quite surprised if you had any trouble getting a spot in the main dining room that far out. Now the chef's table, that I could see having three people trying. Reservations open up earlier online than the phone line opens so start there.

The online reservation system was a disaster when we were booking ADRs on Friday. But thankfully when we called the restaurant directly at 9, we had our choice of the main dining room, Queen Victoria room, or chef's table. We booked the chef's table and are so excited!!

We just ate at the chefs table last night. Was fantastic!! We will be doing that again for sure.

That is awesome! I hope you'll write up a post about your experience. I'm loving stalking everyone's chef's table reviews.
