The Toughest Restaurant Reservations In America (And How to Get Them)
"SEATTLE Beast & Cleaver isn’t just a tiny butchery—it’s also one of our favorite Seattle restaurants. On weekend evenings, they moonlight as “The Peasant" and serve an incredible tasting menu of duck pate and beef tenderloin with tallow fries. To actually get in, you’ll need to strategize a bit. You can sign up for their newsletter to get an email when the next batch of dates opens up, but our preferred strategy is to peek at their reservations 72 hours in advance, since that’s the last opportunity for people to cancel without fees. The space also has some larger tables, so we’ve had some luck getting in with a bigger group. If all else fails, you can always grab more bar-friendly bites like a 100-day-aged burger at Beast and Cleaver’s location inside Fair Isle Brewing." - anne cruz
