Individual dining reservations will be accepted online at www.OpenTable.com or on the Open Table mobile app beginning Wednesday, March 1 at 10 a.m. EST. 

“This digital platform brings ease and convenience to the process of securing a dining reservation at Saratoga Race Course for our guests. Guests will now be able to submit a reservation request on their own timetable rather than wait to phone on a specific date and time,” said New York Racing Association Senior Vice President and Chief Experience Officer Lynn LaRocca. “As we continue to modernize practices at this historic venue, we hope this process will make it simpler than ever for racing fans to enjoy an afternoon at one of our on-track restaurants this summer.” 

Following the reservation request, a NYRA dining representative will contact guests to confirm dates, based on availability. Seating charge payment will be required at this time to finalize the reservation. Seating charges are final and non-refundable. Dining reservations are non-transferable.
