Estela New York Reviews from The Last Year
Popped in for a spur the moment dinner date at 9:30 on
Popped in for a spur the moment dinner date at 9:30 on Wednesday, only waited for 15 minutes for the table. Service was amazing, really friendly waiter, knowledgeable, gave great suggestions. Perhaps tried to upsell us more food than we needed but I would never fault someone for that. Cocktails were DELISH, I would have loved to try more but I didn't wanna get too messy haha. Now onto the FOOD! We sprang for the Sourdough with butter. Its always nice to start the meal that way but kind feels like it should be free. Both bread and butter were delicious. We started with a Scallop with Green Tomato and basil dish that was so fresh and light, perfect summer appetizer. The scallops are kind of hidden by the tomato slices, I would reverse that so they are on top but I wont start splitting hairs over presentation. We also got the Shepherd's Hope, which was a super fresh pea salad type thing with a really bright dressing. highly recommend this OR the Scallop dish but they sort of do the same thing so wouldn't recommend getting them both. We capped off appetizers with Oysters. They were amazing but having grown up on the New England coast i think I prefer oysters fresh with just a hint of lemon. It was fun to indulge for a special occasion but wouldn't order them again at $5 a pop. We capped off the meal splitting the Wagyu Steak. WOW, perfectly cooked with the most amazing sesame bearnaise. I found the turnip side a little blah, didn't feel additive. But I honestly didn't care, the steak/bearnaise combo was INCREDIBLE. I will definitely be back and would recommend this place for a perfect date or special occasion dinner.
The spot: The restaurant is on the smaller side.
As a party of two, we were seated in a cozy little nook in the back of the restaurant. Larger groups were seated in the narrow space between us and the bar seating at the front. The drinks: The cocktail program here is great and perhaps even rivals the food. I tried the Halo Spritz, an elevated spritz comprising Tximista Blanco, Sirene Canto Amaro, lemon, salted lime, and cava, and the Tomato Never Dies (cute), a martini riff that reminds one of a caprese in beverage form. I think the spritz, with its lively Spanish vermouth, citrus notes, and depth of flavor, was actually my favorite, but the martini was so refreshing and had really strong basil notes. The only thing that would've made this better would've been a mozzarella and tomato skewer garnish. The food: If you're a sourdough lover, definitely start your meal with the delicious bread. It's a filling option and only $5 and the butter is heavenly. As we were first-timers at Estela, we largely stuck with their classic dishes, including the endive salad, fried arroz negro, and ricotta dumplings. We got one rotating dish, the Crab (celeriac and dulse) which was fantastic in its simplicity. I mostly just tasted sweet, fresh crab and butter, and honestly that was perfect. I only wished that the dish was a bit larger. The endive salad was presented as a little foraging adventure, with the vinegar-dressed endives on top of a bed of ubriaco rosso (cheese), walnuts, and anchovies. It was great and not a light salad, but pricey at $28. Ricotta dumplings were also very good; the best part was the umami-bomb mushroom broth. This was a hearty dish. The fried arroz negro, served with squid and romesco*, was a delightful surprise for us. We don't always automatically go for dishes dressed in squid ink, but this was very good. I loved the crispy element to the rice, seafood-flecked bites, and the lively but delicate savory sauce that pulled it all together. Finally, we saved a bit of room for dessert and tried the panna cotta. Good but not my favorite version, and I wouldn't probably try a different sweet to end our meal next time.
A singular experience.
Everything is delicious and original. If it's your first time, ask for guidance and get the "classic" items including the endive salad and the crab. The drinks and wine list are really interesting and well chosen. I've noticed people complaining about the noise or tight space, but those are not unusual for Manhattan and we didn't find them particularly bad anyway. Relax, you will get accustomed to it. The only negative point is that by this point in the restaurant's successful run, the staff are somewhat jaded, which is understandable. Smiles are in short supply. We ate at the bar and the bartender, while highly skilled, was brusque, bordering on rude. She also cleared our cocktails before we'd finished them--repeatedly.
Came for a special occasion and was not disappointed.
We sat at the bar initially as we were early for the reservation. There was some disconnect amongst the hostesses about how/when to transfer to a table. - Started with the beef tartare. This was an excellent flavor-profile and texture. We debated ordering bread but luckily this came with it, as a tip! - It seems like every single table orders the endive dish. The aesthetic is super interesting. It's a skosh difficult to eat but there was a good amount of the filling below the endives themselves. - The crab dish with the celeriac was a highlight of the night. We almost didn't get this but it was just so perfectly executed so highly recommend. - Fried arroz negro with the squid was the other highlight. The fried-ness of this was perfect. The squid doesn't stand-out but I truly didn't mind. - The ricotta dumplings were fine. Essentially just a lump of ricotta formed into a dumpling. Probably could skip next time. - The wagyu steak was well-executed. I appreciated the potato puree it came with and the cooking of the steak was exactly what I wanted. The biggest downfall of the meal, however, is the space itself. There are just too many tables packed into the space and it is extraordinarily loud, both from the conversations and the music. The service is great but the servers are truly battling amongst themselves for traffic.
On my way to try out all 100 restaurants in the NYT lists,
On my way to try out all 100 restaurants in the NYT lists, I visited Estela for lunch. Unfortunately, it didn't meet the high expectations I had... The service was great and the food was generally well cooked. The scallops were phenomenal. But overall the other dishes were a bit unimpressive and not as creative as I expected.
Estela is all around a very balanced restaurant: good food,
Estela is all around a very balanced restaurant: good food, good atmosphere, and good staff. I would highly recommend the arroz and the endive salad. We also enjoyed the scallop (looks odd but works)! Kolrabi was good, but not a must. Skip the bread. We got a table but honestly I would've enjoyed sitting at the bar. Definitely not a res I'd die to get. Can probably just walk in. I'd like to go back to try their cocktails and dessert.
Our brunch on Sunday was one of the most enjoyable meals
Our brunch on Sunday was one of the most enjoyable meals that I've had in NY. Absolutely everything was first rate: from the staff and service, to the food, to the pacing of our meal, and our cocktails. We arrived and were escorted to our table in the back. We were a party of 6 and there's a nice table for this many people. We arrived soon after opening and the restaurant was relatively empty. Within a short time every table was taken but the sound level was comfortable for conversation. We were near the rest room but weren't bothered by the line. Our sever Erik was very helpful. He suggested the prix fixe menu and that's what we chose. There were food sensitivities and the chef worked to accommodate these needs. The prix fixe comes with 3 cold and 3 warm dishes along with dessert. Our cold dishes were the oysters, scallops and endives. The warm dishes were the fried arroz (very much like paella), crescent duck and grilled lobster. Each offering was beautifully presented, distinct in flavor and so very well seasoned. There are reviews from Dan P and Julia F where they describe the dishes, so I won't repeat their wonderful descriptions. Each dish had its very own personality. Our dessert was (flourless) chocolate cake. The chocolate flavor was extraordinary and the whipped cream was so light, it complemented the cake perfectly. This is not an inexpensive restaurant. But for extraordinary food and drink, wonderful staff and a fantastic experience, the price was very reasonable.
Estela is probably my favorite "format" restaurant.
I feel like their format was more prevalent in the aughts. But I am SO grateful that they have stuck to it. You arrive with your party and they provide you a menu with a listing of items from lightest to heaviest (as in oysters at the top and duck breast or wagyu steak at the bottom). If you arrive with two people, they recommend four to six dishes, with a party of four, maybe eight to nine dishes. Keep in mind, each dish is meant to be shared and is timed perfectly to be delivered one at a time with careful attention paid to when your table appears ready for the next dish. THIS is the feature that makes the meal a great place to meet a friend to catch up over a bottle of wine and a wind range of delicious tastes to both indulge in and discuss (if you're into that). I have been going for years, typically with only one other person. However, for my birthday this year, my 10 and 12 year old kids asked that I take them to my "favorite restaurant that I always go to with my friends". I believed they were ready, and they WERE. They were so excited to try this "legendary" place that I always left them home to go to. The menu often changes but the two main stays that never seem to change are the beef tartare with crispy sunchokes and the endive leaves, drizzled with olive oil and served with finely chopped candied walnuts, anchovies and "ubriaco rosso" cheese (basically a pecorino romano aged in wine) -- my FAVORITE thing on the menu. There is a reason the two dishes mentioned above are mainstays. They are the best, in my opinion. I have never had a bad dish at Estela. We always get the oysters of the moment, usually ricotta gnocchi in a mushroom broth perfection. As far as the proteins go, those seem to change the most often. Last night we had the Mackeral with seaweed, favas and avocado the the wagyu with brussle sprouts and tallegio. Everything was excellent. I stand by my original assessment that the best way to enjoy this restaurant is with one of your best friends to share a bottle of wine as they deliver one small plate at a time. The format is perfection for that particular scenario, though my kids did rave about the beef tartare, the endive and the wagyu. Love You, Estela.
always a favorite! endive salad, dumplings and arroz are
always a favorite! endive salad, dumplings and arroz are classics but has the duck this time and it was one of the best best duck dishes i've had. so good will always come back when here
10 out of 10.
The food, service, and ambiance were all spot on. Everything pictured below was amazing. We also had, not pictured, the Ricotta dumplings with mushrooms and pecorino Sardo which were one of my favorites. The Endive salad was my number 1 favorite dish of the day. The Charcuterie and the sourdough bread , though basic sounding, really was delicious as well. The Executive Chef stopped at our table to see how we liked everything and that was such a pleasant personal touch. We tried both the Chocolate cake and the Panna Cotta and both were amazing as well. Really great experience and will definitley be back.
Tasty small dishes
Every time we visit NYC, we go to Estela (need to reserve in advance, it’s relatively small). It offers small, tasty dishes like tuna tartare, scallops, black rice
Estela left a bad taste in our mouths.
Our experience was ruined by overly salty dishes that drowned out any hint of flavor. The Beef Tartare lacked the promised beefy essence, and the oysters were swimming in salt and garlic, making them nearly inedible. To make matters worse, the outrageous prices for tiny portions, like the $52 2oz Wagyu beef steak, felt like a rip-off. Even the supposedly delicate crab dish was ruined by too much salt, masking any subtle flavors. The monkfish, which was supposed to be a highlight, fell short, lacking any noticeable seasoning or creativity. On top of all that, the service was a mess. Despite having a reservation, we waited for half an hour to be seated, only to watch servers stumble around with our dishes, not sure where they were supposed to go. The fact that they didn't offer espresso or serve regular coffee properly only highlighted their shortcomings. And serving scalding hot coffee in a handle-less glass cup was just ridiculous. With over 1500 four-star reviews, I really hope this was a one-time experience, but unfortunately, our visit fell far short of expectations. The only good thing was the sourdough bread, which was the only thing worth eating, for a bill of $700 for four people. Despite its one-star Michelin rating, our disappointing visit to Estela has us doubting the credibility of such accolades.
Mixed, Very Mixed...
We were very excited to finally dine in this restaurant because its reputation, we came out a bit flat as the experience was definitely mixed. The staff was fantastic, they were kind and courteous, gave us great suggestions on their food and drink, and helped those ones of us have food allergies to avoid those dishes they should not eat. The ambiance is not as expected, very much like a neighborhood restaurant, informal, a bit crowded, but not very noisy. The white napkins left a lot of lint on dark clothing, a disappointment. But the biggest surprise was the lackluster of plating. The combination of ingredients for each dish were genius, but the food came out in such flat manner, the artistry of taste was not supported by the appearances. We were hoping that we might have a story to tell afterward, but I am not so sure that we have gotten that. A few dishes were fantastic, tasted wonderfully and beautiful to look at. I strongly recommend seeking advice from the wait staff before you order. This one could have been a total disappointment but the wait staff really guided us through it and we still enjoyed it.
Had the most fantastic meal- scallop, arroz negro, steak,
Had the most fantastic meal- scallop, arroz negro, steak, and the sweet potato dessert were standouts. Phoebe was amazing and answered every one of our questions, flawless service. My tiny little water glass was constantly full thanks to an incredible service team! Literally made a reservation for later this week to try the rest of the menu while we were sat. Perfect meal, perfect space, perfect team, no notes.
Loved this restaurant! Every dish was delicious and
Loved this restaurant! Every dish was delicious and surprising. The small plates allow lots of tasting even for two people. *Spoiler alert* - if you keep reading this review the surprises won't be quite as surprising... We started with the scallops with brown butter and golden potatoes which was presented as a perfect glossy hemisphere of... something. It turn out the hemisphere was a hyper-smooth potato puree that covered fairly raw scallops finished as a kind of ceviche in light lemon juice. The interplay of rich brown butter and bright lemon was a unique and yummy. Next up was the endive with walnuts, anchovy, and ubriaco rosso that continued the "surprise" theme. The again lemony endive completely covered the walnuts and 'chovies so that it initially looked like a plate of endive leaves. The bottom layer was rich and crunchy so that a bite would combine with the endive for a welcome and juicy "pop" in one's mouth. Our third dish was the star of the evening: fried arroz negro, squid, and romesco. This is essentially the bottom crunchy part of properly cooked paella using black rice. Wow - filling, satisfying, tremendously delicious. If you like paella don't skip this one. Our entrée was Berkshire pork with market greens and black truffles. A satisfying and filling end to a great meal. Our server was charming, knowledgeable about both the dishes and the right wine(s) to pair with and efficient. You could not ask for better service. A little difficult to find, you should make the effort to go to Estela. We're glad we did. Two thumbs up.

This post is long.
Only read if you want an in-depth analysis of the food, service, and ambiance at Estela. Summary: Good ambiance. Don't go for a reservation after 10pm because the staff is checked out and you won't get a Michelin Star experience. Flavor pairings seemed basic compared to other Michelin one star restaurants. Ambiance: Great. Dark & candlelit. Just what I want on a night out. 5 stars to this category. Service: Apparently good service stops at 10pm because the staff couldn't have cared about us less. We were never checked in on, only visited to order and receive food. To be fair, we got a 10:15pm reservation. It may have been our fault for eating dinner so late. At a regular restaurant I would have dismissed this poor late-night service, but at a Michelin star my expectation is that the service should be excellent throughout the whole evening. Food: No Wow! factor. Having been to more than 20 Michelin star restaurants from around the world (yes even Mario is jealous about how many stars I've collected), this is the first one that hasn't served a dish that has wowed me. At every other Michelin star, there is always a dish that makes me think "Wow, I have never tried anything like that before, and I could eat that forever." This one didn't only fail to do that, but disappointed me with their basic flavor pairings. We ordered 5 dishes: the olives marinated in oil, the beef tartare, the arroz negro, the ricotta dumplings, and the wagyu steak. Out of these dishes, 3 were okay, and 2 were disappointing. Highlight: arroz negro. Reminded me of Spanish paella. Good if you like paella with a crunch. Lowlight: ricotta dumplings. Buy Sargento's mozarella string cheese at the local supermarket and put it in the microwave for 15 seconds for the same effect. The wagyu and olives were good. Good not great. What makes these dishes stand out from other wagyu and olive dishes? I am still asking myself that question because nothing about them was unique. The beef tartare. Could have infiltrated a grouping of bruschetta and gone unnoticed. The beef was cut very thick, and it was overpowered by the capers and chopped onion. This dish would have deserved the lowlight if the dumplings didn't taste like string cheese. The ricotta dumplings. The mushroom slice on top was a cool addition aesthetically, but it did not add to the taste of the dish. This dish reminded me of my 10-year-old self grabbing a handful of string cheeses from the fridge. Estela, if that is what you were going for, you aced it! If not, it may help to decrease the size of the balls of cheese and pair them with stronger flavors. Overall, 3/5 stars is appropriate. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to a friend, but I would accompany my friends to Estela if they wanted to go as a social occassion. However, I would eat beforehand.
I will never forget the first time I fell in love with
I will never forget the first time I fell in love with endives. Thank you, Estela. Maybe it was the sommelier's expansive knowledge and the sincere customer service. Or was it the beautiful summer day and good company that possessed me to order what seemed like a silly little lettuce like thing. Estela knows endives.
The food was incredible.
Everything we got was amazing and flavorful. I really liked the foie gras. I've never seen seared foie gras wrapped in grape leaves. Beef tartar was unique and creative. The oysters tasted super refreshing and the pork had really good seasoning. Desserts were great too. Lychee sorbet was particularly impressive. Our drinks were just okay though. Hard to pick cocktails from the menu that we typically like. The reasons why I gave 4 stars are mostly service and how crowded the restaurant was. Our waiter was pretty cold. And the restaurant was small and all the tables were squeezed into it. My friend couldn't get out of her seat without moving the table.
Every star in this review is for their food.
We took our server's recommendation and shared 4-6 plates, ranked below for balance of flavor and textured mouthfeels. Fried arroz negro with squid and romesco - an extremely satisfying bite with multiple forms of crunch coming from the rice and the nuts of the romesco. Grilled Lobster with woodear mushrooms and grapes - the smokiness of the lobster really permeated each chewy ear. I'm not a fan of lobster at all, but I could eat this preparation any day! Cured trout with bergamot and dashi - the little beads provided much appreciated bursts of brine. Marinated olives - the twist of grapefruit rind was not only a great palate cleanser, but an excellent pregame choice with drinks. Sourdough miche with butter - the rustic crust is what bread cravings are made of. Kudos to the bartenders for their Halo Spritz cocktail - it was unbelievably refreshing despite its complexity. Now for the ambiance. While our corner table felt "cozy" at first tucked away from the main dining room, it became "the spot" for people to wait for the rest of their party to arrive. We soon ran out of room to be able to get up or lift a drink without elbowing someone accidentally. That was our cue to get the check and go. Alas, even a Michelin star worthy meal can't stop NYC from doing what it does on a Friday night.
TLDR: A Michelin restaurant thats worth the hype! I
TLDR: A Michelin restaurant thats worth the hype! I recently had the pleasure of dining at Estela in NYC, and it was an absolute culinary delight! The squid ink risotto stole the show with its crispy texture and burst of flavors. The persimmon salad was incredibly fresh, and the wagyu steak was nothing short of insanely flavorful and delicious. To top off the meal, the chocolate lava cake with black sesame dessert was a revelation! It's hands down the best dessert I've had in NYC, offering insane flavors and depth. The combination of black sesame, oozing lava cake chocolate base, and the perfect cream on top created a dessert masterpiece.
Disappointing Experience at Estela – A Michelin Star Letdown
Having explored numerous Michelin Star establishments across Europe and the US, our visit to Estela left us thoroughly disappointed. From the lackluster seating arrangement to the absence of detailed food explanations, our expectations were not met. The culinary journey began with oysters that failed to impress, lacking the expected finesse. The tuna dish, while decent, fell short of the exceptional standards we've come to anticipate from Michelin Star venues. The rice negro, unfortunately, suffered from excessive saltiness, as did the venison, making both dishes unremarkable. Adding to the dismay was the underwhelming presentation, a departure from the meticulous artistry typical of Michelin Star restaurants. This experience, regrettably, stands out as one of the most subpar encounters we've had in such esteemed establishments. In conclusion, we cannot recommend Estela based on our disappointing visit, questioning how it acquired a Michelin Star in the first place. It is a stark contrast to the culinary excellence we've encountered elsewhere, leaving us perplexed and dissatisfied.
Really well executed Modern Italian
Food and service were terrific. Loved the endive dish (remarkable), the celery dish (incredible) but the tuna carpaccio was the best I've ever had. My wife loved the crab dish. Typical of upscaled modern Italian cooking, the food is very inventive using few ingredients, but caring about the quality of each of the ingredients. Our server, Eric, was attentive. High marks!!!

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
