It is not a Resy problem. It is a window-plus-dress-code problem.
Daniel Boulud opened Daniel on East 65th in 1993 and has held two Michelin stars almost continuously. The dining room seats about a hundred across two tiers, jackets are required, and the tasting menu has anchored Upper East Side fine dining for a generation.
Resy lists the room but the prime tables are placed by the host stand, not the algorithm. Bar Boulud across town and Café Boulud one block over are the same team's other doors when Daniel itself is impossible.
