Tatiana by Kwame Onwuachi is booked solid. Cancellations drop daily.
Kwame Onwuachi's Afro-Caribbean room in Lincoln Center, roughly 80 seats against citywide demand since its 2022 opening; drops are reported cleared within minutes, with bar and patio held for walk-ins.
NYT #1 restaurant in New York (2023 list); still headlining "hardest table" round-ups in 2025–26 press.
Reported noon ET, 27–28 days out — guides disagree on 27 vs 28, so treat both as unconfirmed.
How tables move here: chronic sold-out plus a steady cancellation flow — the classic drip an instant email alert is built for.

Questions
How fast are alerts?
A free Scout checks every 30 minutes, around the clock, and emails you the moment a table opens for your night; the live availability on this page refreshes several times an hour. Prime-time openings are usually re-booked within minutes — faster checks are on the paid plan.
Does it book for me?
No — we alert; the booking stays yours. You get the link instantly and book in your own name on the restaurant's own booking page. That keeps your account safe and keeps us on the right side of platform rules: Calafia never books, holds, brokers, or resells a reservation.
What does it cost?
Watching one thing is free. More Scouts and faster checks are on the paid plan. The table itself costs you nothing extra — ever.
