The Hobbit reservations: how to actually get a table

$$$$ ★ 4.7 · 507 reviews

Why The Hobbit is hard to book

Like most of the hardest tables in Orange County, The Hobbit releases reservations in a fixed window — and the window sells through fast. After that, the book is effectively closed: the only seats that come back are cancellations, and they return to the booking calendar with no announcement, at any hour, and are gone in minutes. Refreshing the page by hand is how most people miss them.

How the watch works for The Hobbit

Tables at The Hobbit are released in fixed booking windows and cancellations vanish in minutes. Join the watch — we're rolling out city by city. Orange County is on our restaurant rollout list: members on the watch are first in line as scanning switches on, and the moment coverage is live here, a cancelled table that matches your party size and dates triggers a text with a direct link to book it. You always book it yourself, in your own account, at the normal price — we never book, hold, or resell tables.
