It is not an OpenTable problem. It is a two-week window.
ISLA runs in DC as one of the city's first Filipino fine-dining rooms, with a menu that pulls from Manila and the regional Philippine kitchens. The dining room is small and the kitchen runs a single nightly format.
OpenTable opens two weeks ahead. Weekend tables clear quickly; weeknights and the late seatings stay open longer. The bar takes walk-ins when a seat opens.
