How to Find Chase Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables Restaurants

The official OpenTable directory is useful for confirming eligibility, but it can be slow to scan when you only care about one city.

nextcard's Sapphire Reserve Dining Credit Map puts the current list in a searchable map and table, with city filters and separate views for newly added and removed restaurants.

Always verify the current roster before dining. A restaurant that qualified previously may no longer trigger the credit.

Final Thoughts on Tracking the Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables Network

A net gain of one restaurant makes this look like a small update, but the churn matters. Seventy-one restaurants changed status, and several cities saw meaningful gains or losses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Below are the most common questions cardholders ask about how the Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables dining credit actually works in practice.

Do I need to book through OpenTable to earn the dining credit?

No. Pay with your Sapphire Reserve card directly at any participating restaurant and the credit applies automatically. You don't need to reserve through OpenTable or any specific booking channel to trigger it.

Can I split the bill across two Sapphire Reserve cards?

Yes, as long as each charge comes directly from the restaurant and not through a third-party processor.

Do unused credits roll over?

No. The H1 credit expires June 30 and the H2 credit runs through December 31 with no rollover into the following year. Miss a window and that value is gone.

How do I know if a restaurant is still on the list?

Check the nextcard Sapphire Reserve Dining Credit Map. The October update and current 436-restaurant inventory show why it is worth verifying eligibility before a reservation.

When does Chase add new Exclusive Tables restaurants?

Chase does not appear to follow a publicly announced schedule. Restaurants can be added or removed during periodic roster updates, including the October 01, 2026 refresh, so check the current list before making dining plans.

How often does the restaurant list change?

There is no fixed public schedule. The October update changed over 30 restaurants, and smaller changes may happen between larger refreshes. Do not assume a restaurant that qualified previously is still eligible.
