The New York Racing Association, Inc. is now accepting individual dining reservations through the digital platform OpenTable for the 2017 season at Saratoga Race Course. 

Guests who are interested in reserving dining for the Turf Terrace, Club Terrace or The Porch can do so online at www.OpenTable.com or on the OpenTable mobile app. OpenTable is a real-time online reservation network for restaurants, which allows users to reserve and manage dining reservations instantly anytime and anywhere. 

Guests can make reservations by searching for Saratoga Race Course and selecting the on-track restaurant of their choice. Guests will be asked to indicate the number of people in their party and preferred date. There is only one 11:30 a.m. seating available per day for each dining location, as the table belongs to the party for the entire afternoon. Guests are asked to claim their table by 1 p.m., the standard first post time for Saratoga. 

All guests will be required to provide a credit card when making the reservation through OpenTable. Dining reservations at Saratoga Race Course are subject to availability and require a non-refundable seating charge payment. No reservations will be accepted by phone.
