Riding a wave of major recognition in 2026, it has become one of the most fought-over tables in Washington DC. Reservations are on Resy and the prime nights clear almost as soon as the window opens.

How booking at Albi works
Albi releases tables on a rolling Resy window. DC fine dining typically opens a rolling window a set number of days ahead at a fixed morning hour, but the exact day-count and time change, so confirm them on the live Resy listing. The room serves only a few nights a week, which concentrates demand.
- Set a Resy Notify alert for your date and party size.
- Be online at the exact release minute, logged in with a card saved.
- Watch the final 48 hours for the cancellation wave, when seats reappear.
