How to Get a Reservation at Olmsted in New York
Olmsted is the garden-driven New American restaurant in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. The short answer: it books on Resy on a rolling window, with weeknight flexibility and cancellation watching the realistic ways in.
The short answer
Olmsted books on Resy on a rolling window that opens a set number of days in advance and fills quickly at prime times. After the initial drop, same-week cancellations are the realistic path. Confirm the current release time on the live Resy listing before planning a date.
Rose watches Olmsted continuously and books the instant a seat opens under your name, so you do not have to camp on the page.
What it is known for and where it sits
On Vanderbilt Avenue in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, Olmsted is chef Greg Baxtrom's playful, produce-forward New American restaurant with a working backyard garden that supplies the kitchen. Inventive vegetable dishes and a charming patio have kept it a Brooklyn favorite and a steady tough booking since it opened.
Prime weekend dinners and warm-weather patio nights are the hardest; weeknights and early seatings open more freely.
- Target weeknights and early or late seatings for the best odds.
- Patio seats in good weather are the most contested; the indoor room is easier.
- Watch for cancellations in the final 48 hours before your date.
