Aren't DMV Appointments non-transferrable?

While it's true that appointments are technically not transferable, for DMV Appointments the transfer service is included for buyers at no cost. The transfer team has both - the sellers and the buyers dmv information, so it can cancel the sellers appointment and then rebook under the buyers name. Should something not work out the Appointment Trader Money Back guarantee will kick in. In any event you won't be turned away when you go to the DMV as the Appointment will be in your name.

Beautiful Dinner in Our Neighborhood

Tasty menu with pappardelle and Branzino, lovely cocktails and very good customer service. We enjoyed and we will come back!

Terrific Dinner in Our Neighborhood

4/5 by Daniel M on 03/26/2022

Again diverting from "vacation" reviews to opine on a local joint.. been trying to eat Alfred Portale's food since we lived closer to his last famous haunt down on 12th Street, but now that we live up the block from this newer establishment it was finally time. Best. Restaurant. Meal. In recent memory. Impeccable service, absolutely terrific food, spot-on sommelier who after fun discussion recommended the *least* expensive Piedmont wine.. this is fine dining in Chelsea, Manhattan at it's best. Fairly expensive, but highly HIGHLY recommended. Tip: bombolini for dessert. I'll be back just for those!

🙂

4/5 by Alex R. on 02/25/2022

Our group of 5 had a superb meal with copious amounts of pasta , seafood and dessert options . While overall everything was tasty some pastas were not as Al dente as I would have liked and a couple of sauces felt a bit muted/flat in flavor. Desserts were stand outs!

😍

Wow! This is the place to go if you actually want to hear

5/5 by Benjamin T. on 02/20/2022

Wow! This is the place to go if you actually want to hear the conversation. What an 5 star experience. Fantastic, hip venue. Stellar service. Went with the gf and got a corner table. Volume and vibe were fantastic. Bread through dessert was phenomenal. We got the kale and seafood salads to start. Then had the salmon and duck. Presentation on everything was as thoughtful as the art work. Also

😍

Portale runs a true first-class restaurant.

5/5 by David K. on 02/17/2022

I hosted a business dinner with three Board members and found the evening to be an excellent experience. Service was outstanding, our meals were wonderful, and we very much enjoyed the wine selections their staff helped us choose. My guests enjoyed the evening immensely.

😍

Love this place.

5/5 by Jesus S. on 02/14/2022

It's obviously a step up in terms of quality and price. They care a lot about the little things. The atmosphere is also very nice. The white truffle bolognese is great and so is their fish.

Nothing but class at Portale! 5 friends and I came for

5/5 by Gwin V. on 02/06/2022

Nothing but class at Portale! 5 friends and I came for Restaurant Week; the staff was friendly and accommodating, and everything we ate was top-notch delicious (I had the soup and pasta from the Restaurant Week menu which is unfortunately no longer visible).The day after our meal, I received a thank-you note from the owners. Who does that? So nice.

🙂

We had a great dining experience at Portale.

4/5 by Alex Z. on 02/06/2022

Above and beyond hospitality from the moment you step into this intimate restaurant. Very welcoming staff! The kitchen was great at accommodating my friend with dietary restrictions.We started with the ricotta meatballs that seemed to be the highlight of the night. Make sure to order them! I recommend sharing all the dishes you order. We ordered all of their "Primi" pasta dishes to share. Portions are small for the price, so prepare to savor each and every bite. I enjoyed some of the dishes more than others, but all were very refined and quite tasty! We also ordered the branzino, which was forgettable. Stick to their pasta.

🙂

Great Italian place.

4/5 by A S. on 01/30/2022

I'm not sure if it's specifically Sicilian focused, but when we went they had special Sicilian dishes and discounts on Sicilian wines.The Burrata was the best that I have had in a while, with a firm outside and very creamy and delicious inside. The Frutti Di Mare was great as all the flavors blended well and it was not overwhelmingly fishy as many salads are.For pasta, we had a Lobster Special and the Lumache. Both were delicious, bu we enjoyed the Lumache just a little more. Simple, and not overpowered with Truffle flavor.For the mains, we had the Branzino and Maiale. The Branzino was perfectly made and amazing. But, I would not order the Maiale again. It was okay, but dry and felt dense.We finished with a Torta Di Olio, which was fine, but I don't love most cakes in general. We also had a Panna Cotta, which was enjoyable, but didn't stand out compared to any other classy Italian restaurant.

🙂

We had the last seating on Thanksgiving at 830 PM.

4/5 by Joseph S. on 11/28/2021

So the crowd was a bit thin. Choices were limited to a 3-course prix fixe but plenty of choicesHuge Italian wine selection. We selected a moderately priced ($80) red from central Italy.One of us had not had enough turkey and went for turkey again. A great beet salad, a better than Balthazar turkey platter, and an Italian torte. All winners.The other 2 diners opted for pastas as their entrees. Happy diners.Damages with tip for 3 was $575.Food 4/5Service 5/5Value 3/5 (average)Cleanliness 5/5Noise 1/5 (quiet as only 1/4 full)Decor 4/5

Delicious.

5/5 by Kiley C. on 11/25/2021

We ate here on Thanksgiving. Prix fixe menu. Everything was 10/10. I can only imagine a regular meal would be amazing as well. Service was excellent, ambience was beautiful. Clean, bright, modern. Sommelier was super knowledgeable and helpful. Definitely worth checking out.

😍

We had a spectacular experience.

5/5 by Walter W. on 11/21/2021

The food was exceptional in appearance and taste. Our server (from Jersey originally) was kind, friendly, and funny. Overall, the restaurant's environment was almost perfect from the entrance to our table. However, the sinks in the first two unisex restrooms have sinks that spray, so be cautious. If possible, use the third restroom. Thankfully, the drying cloths in the restrooms are amazing and make up for being sprained with water. We will for sure be back one day.

Appointment Trader

😍 5/5 Review by AcceptableParcel20 (03/24/2022 9:35 am)

Wow! First time using this website/app. It was almost hard to believe the quality of customer service I received as soon as I posted my offer. A private chat forum with me and the person helping me find the best option. Constant communication and a wonderful experience using Appointment Trader. I'm surprised it took me this long to find AT but this will now be my GO TO for hard to get restaurant reservations. It was like having my own private concierge.

Last minute Pujol rezo in Mexico City

Last minute trip to Mexico City for Art Week. Busiest weekend in CDMX and AT came through and got us into Pujol. On Friday night … for four people! Amazing. I couldn’t believe it. Highly recommend this app.

Miami Beach Hot Spot Success!

😍 5/5 Review by CosmicLinen30 (02/24/2022 11:59 am)

My first experience using AT was awesome and the AT support saved the day! When my booking transfer initiated two days earlier but didn't complete by the day of the reservation, AT was able to expedite the transfer and confirm a table at Call Me Gaby in Miami Beach. Boss confirmed an excellent experience when he arrived and no issues to report. Thanks, AT! I will definitely be back and thank you very much for your prompt assistance!

Made our trip to NYC

😍 5/5 Review by CloseFiction30 (11/10/2021 8:40 am)

There was one restaurant we really wanted to visit in NYC and AppointmentTrader made that possible. Then when we had issues with the reservation transfer they were so quick to respond and fix the problem. We’ll definitely be using this again in the future.

Hottest michelin star restaurant in DC

I just stumbled upon this site and within 24 hours of posting a bid for an impossible to get table at Delilah (on a holiday weekend no less), my reservation was confirmed! So easy to use and it worked flawlessly. Brilliant!

Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/09/2021 5:10 pm)

Best Answer It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Working on your bid?

Question by DemurePain59 (10/01/2021 1:24 pm)

Best Answer Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.

Process after bid is accepted.

Question by EvocativeFold67 (09/17/2021 8:11 pm)

Best Answer Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.

Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?

Question by ColorfulRod45 (07/13/2021 3:55 pm)

Best Answer Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.

What happens if my bid expires unanswered?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/08/2021 5:55 pm)

Best Answer Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
