Sapphire Reserve Dining: Latest Additions (Aug 2026)

Checking the Chase Sapphire Reserve® Exclusive Tables list before dinner sounds tedious, but last month's July 2026 update is a good reminder of why it's worth the 30 seconds.

On July 07, 2026, the program added 91 restaurants and cut 64 this cycle, and a handful of those removals are spots people had bookmarked for their up to $300 annual dining credit. Here's a full breakdown of what changed and where.

TL;DR:

• The Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables network added 91 restaurants and removed 64 in July 2026, bringing the total to 405 restaurants (net gain: 27 spots).

• You don't need an Exclusive Tables reservation to earn the credit. Just pay with your Sapphire Reserve card at any participating restaurant.

• The up to $150 H2 dining credit window opened July 1 and expires December 31 with no rollover, so unused credit is gone permanently.

• Verify any restaurant on the OpenTable Exclusive Tables list before you go. Removals happen without notice and removed spots don't trigger the credit.

• nextcard's Exclusive Tables map/list shows which restaurants are newly added or removed, with city filtering to plan around the up to $300 annual dining credit.

What Changed in July 2026

The July 2026 refresh brought 91 new restaurants into the Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables program and removed 64, landing the network at 405 total restaurants (net gain: 27 spots).

Here's a quick look at how the numbers break down:

There have been no new major changes in August 2026... yet.

How to Find Chase Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables Restaurants

The official OpenTable Exclusive Tables directory is a flat list of 400+ restaurants with no city filtering, no cuisine search, and no way to narrow by location. If you want to find a spot in your neighborhood that qualifies for the credit, you're scrolling through every city in the country to get there. It's kinda frusturating to use.

nextcard's Sapphire Reserve Dining Credit Map is built for exactly this problem. It puts the full current list of restaurants in one searchable interface so you can find qualifying restaurants near you in seconds, not minutes of scrolling.

A few things worth knowing about using the tool:

• City filter: narrow the full 400+ list to just your metro so you're only seeing restaurants that are actually relevant to you.

• All restaurants, Newly Added, and Removed tabs: see what changed in the most recent update at a glance, so you know if that spot you bookmarked is still in the program.

• Gift Cards: learn which restaurants sell gift cards & find user collected datapoints for gift card successes/fails

• Map/table: toggle between both views if you want to see restaurants plotted on a map or organized by tabular rows

• Saved: log your favorite restaurants

Btw, always make sure to check OpenTable's site before going to a restaurant. Just in case something changes.

My favorite addition here as a San Francisco resident is House of Prime Rib! It's kind of crazy that this fabled restaurant is on the list of eligible spots now.

What sucks is that if you went to these restaurants today (July 07, 2026) after they made the changes... there's technically no guarantees that you'll be credited. Thankfully, changes of this magnitude only seem to happen every few months.

Cities with the Biggest Changes This July 2026 Cycle

Las Vegas got gutted. Six restaurants were removed this cycle, leaving it with just one eligible restaurant... This is the loudest complaint coming out of this update, and for good reason. At least one cardholder with an existing Hell's Kitchen reservation said they're planning to cancel. For a city that hosts some of the most card-spend-heavy trips of any market in the country, a single-restaurant roster is a genuine problem.

New Orleans had one of the harder cycles outside of Las Vegas, losing 5 restaurants (Muriel's Jackson Square, Tableau, Shaya, The Bower, and San Lorenzo at Hotel Saint Vincent) while adding only 2 (Dakar NOLA and Acamaya), for a net -3 in a market that was already thin. Community feedback described it as having "lost quite a few."

Seattle added 2 restaurants this cycle (The Pink Door and Sushi Kashiba) but overall coverage remains among the thinnest of any major metro. Cardholders still describe it as "very minimal."

What Changed for Chase Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables in Las Vegas?

Las Vegas accounts for a meaningful share of the search demand around Exclusive Tables, and it's also the market that got hit hardest in the July 2026 update. The city went from 7 tracked restaurants down to 1, with zero additions to offset the cuts.

Esther's Kitchen in Downtown Las Vegas is the only restaurant left in the program. It's still bookable on OpenTable and sells gift cards. The six removed properties are all still open and bookable on OpenTable for regular dining, but paying there with your Sapphire Reserve card no longer triggers the dining credit.

Removed Restaurants May Still Qualify During a 60-Day Grace Period

There's one important exception for restaurants that were just removed from the Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables list: Chase's social media team has said there's a 60-day grace period where dining at a removed restaurant can still trigger the Sapphire Reserve dining credit.

For the restaurants removed in the July 8 update, that implies the grace period runs July 8 through September 6, 2026. So even though those restaurants no longer appear on the current Exclusive Tables roster, they may still be usable for the dining credit during that window.

We've added the removed restaurants to the nextcard Sapphire Reserve Dining Credit Map so they're easier to find while the grace period is still active.

One caveat: use the grace period at your own risk. The 60-day policy was communicated by Chase's social media team, and nextcard's removed-restaurant list is not an official Chase list. If you're making a purchase specifically to use the credit, keep that in mind before spending. That said, many folks have reported getting credited for these "removed restaurant" purchases.

Final Thoughts on Tracking the Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables Network

A net gain of 27 restaurants sounds modest, but the city-level picture matters more than the headline number. Boston expanded cleanly while Seattle & Las Vegas lost ground, and the quality gap in LA is worth knowing before you assume a bookmark still delivers.

The up to $150 H2 credit is yours to use through December 31, and this update gives you 91 new places to spend it. nextcard's Sapphire Reserve Dining Credit Map keeps the current list in one place so you can plan without the manual digging.

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 Exclusive Tables tool. As this July 2026 update makes clear, the roster changes without notice, so verifying ahead of your reservation is worth the 30 seconds.

When does Chase add new Exclusive Tables restaurants?

Chase doesn't appear to follow a publicly announced schedule for adding new Exclusive Tables restaurants. Restaurants can be added as part of periodic roster updates, like the July 2026 refresh that brought dozens of new restaurants into the program. Because changes can happen without much notice, it's worth checking the current list before making dining plans.

How often does the restaurant list change?

There's no fixed public schedule for updates. Larger changes like the July 2026 update appear to happen every few months, but smaller changes may happen in between, so don't always assume a restaurant that qualified previously is still eligible.
