The table they thought was impossible.

“I live in NYC and was finally able to get a table at The Corner Store after wanting to go for months! Just wanted to say thank you very much for making Table Alert!”

-
Lifesaver service for booking difficult reservations
“Been looking for something like this for years, so glad I finally found it. It actually works — I just set up my alerts and wait for them to ping me. Already more than paid for itself with the couple of reservations I’ve managed to get this month alone.”
Ally -
“It found me a seat at Una Pizza Napoletana, just wanted to say thank you!”

FAQ
Semma: questions people ask
Semma's own site links two booking pages: SevenRooms and Dorsia. Pick a date and party size there. Parties of 7 or more are sent to the private dining page instead. Table Alert watches Semma's SevenRooms calendar and alerts you when a table opens.
Yes. Semma's website has a Reserve on Dorsia button beside Reserve on SevenRooms. Table Alert's alerts follow Semma's SevenRooms calendar, so check Dorsia too if SevenRooms is full.
Semma says reservations go live 15 days in advance at 9 AM Eastern. In our monitoring, new dates appear 15 days ahead, usually around 9:00 AM, and cancellations come back too: tables opened on 90 of the last 90 days.
Hard at the release, easier later. 93% of the openings we saw were cancellations rather than new dates, so tables do come back. The catch is speed: the typical one was gone in about 25 minutes. 62% of openings were for 5+ guests.
Not formally. The Infatuation reports that no tables are saved for walk-ins, but the bar has 12 seats, so you can try your luck there. Plan for a wait or a no.
Parties of 7 or more are directed to Semma's private dining page rather than the regular booking. Semma's events page lists a large-party reservation option for groups seated in the main room, so ask them directly (their events page says up to 16 can sit in the main room).
Semma serves dinner Monday to Saturday, 5 PM to 10 PM, at 60 Greenwich Avenue, New York, NY 10011, in the West Village. Its site gives an email, hello@semma.nyc, but no phone number.
It is a la carte. On Semma's menu, small plates start at $12, large plates run from $36 to $54, and cocktails are $22. The whole Dungeness crab for two is $145, limited and pre-order requested.
No. Table Alert watches Semma's public availability and alerts you, with a link, when a table opens. You book it yourself on SevenRooms. We don't book, hold or resell tables, and we don't use bots.
No alert within your first 30 days? Cancel and send us an email. We'll refund you in full — no questions asked.
Yes. Cancel from your account settings at any time. You'll keep access until your subscription expires.
