Why this room is hard

It is not an OpenTable problem. It is a two-week window.

SELINE runs in Santa Monica as a modern American tasting room with one of LA's highest average secondary-market trades at $500 per reservation. The menu runs as a multi-course tasting; the dining room is small.

OpenTable opens two weeks ahead. The seats clear in the first minute of release; weeknights and the late seatings stay open longer. There is no à la carte path; the tasting is the format.

One tasting. $500 trade. Two-week window.

What to expect

Five steps, start to seated.

01

You ask.

Tell us the night, the time window, the party size. Two minutes on this page. Card on file, not charged.

02

We confirm the request.

An operator reviews the request, checks the room, and sends a confirmation that we are working it. Usually within thirty minutes.

03

We work the room.

We reach the floor manager directly, by phone or by text, depending on the night. We do not refresh Resy. We make a call.

04

You are confirmed.

We charge the card and send your confirmation — the time and the name to give the host.

05

You eat.

Walk into SELINE Santa Monica, give your name at the host stand, sit down. The room takes it from there. We do not see you again until the next request.
