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.

Had to make reservations a few weeks in advance for 7pm

5/5 by Samantha D. on 04/03/2022

Had to make reservations a few weeks in advance for 7pm times. They have a set menu, but since we wanted to try things off of it, we ordered a la carte.The yakitori skewers were so moist and flavorful. The katsu, korokke, and karaages were perfectly fried. The yosedofu was so smooth. and reminded me of the Chinese dessert, dofufa. The gyoza was juicy on the inside, and perfectly crispy on the outside. The sashimi was fresh, and the different condiments gave it a nice change in flavor. The rice dish and udon were a perfect way to end since it made sure you were truly full. The duck that came with the udon had to have been the best dish. The hojicha panna cotta was amazing. I loved the crisps that came with it, and the tea of the hojicha syrup was strong. The shukuriima san shu got messy but the sorbets were flavorful. The staff were so understanding, nice, and professional. The service was amazing. I can't wait to come back.

A very solid izakaya that does delicious hand-rolled udon

4/5 by A. C. on 03/31/2022

A very solid izakaya that does delicious hand-rolled udon in a low-key, modern atmosphere. Whenever I want a place to unwind while enjoying their signature carbonara udon, this is where I come to. The chew of the flour noodles is just right and a bit addicting. Ended up trying the cream puffs with 3 flavors of ice cream/sorbet this time. I love the idea of it though ended up wishing for more creaminess to pair with the choux puffs. The flavors of the Meyer lemon ice cream, mandarin + mango sorbet, and strawberry+blood orange sobet were very tasty by themselves so they could have been better served plain and simple. Glad to see that they've come out of the pandemic with a good customer base intact. Recommend you get a reservation or there may be wait time involved. Parking isn't normally an issue if you don't mind a few blocks walk and they have indoor and outdoor seating.

Great meal.

5/5 by Connie C. on 03/23/2022

We got the set menu and I loved the seasonal dishes (fav was a squid, apple, turnip cold dish with miso). Service was solid, very accommodating of our 3 month old.

3/5 by Stina P. on 03/18/2022

Nice spot for a special occasion dinner if you can secure a booth. Our first time so we followed the server's recommendation and ordered five dishes for two people. Turns out it was way too much. Best dishes were the squid salad (fresh lemony dressing, super crisp vegetables), sashimi (super fresh and four pieces of three types of fish), curry puffs (these were huge and an unusual flavor but we liked them), sea bass collar (a little overcooked and under seasoned), whole sole (again, huge and could have used more seasoning but crispy, and no you cannot eat the bones even though our server said you could), and finally the tuna rice bowl (which I didn't care for at all; the rice was lukewarm so the raw egg didn't mix well). We had a nice time and the servers were friendly. It wasn't a super memorable meal but maybe if we had ordered less, we would have had higher praise.

😒

Cute date-night spot, but this is one of those places where

3/5 by Michelle J. on 03/17/2022

Cute date-night spot, but this is one of those places where you go for the ambience and pretty food, and leave feeling unsatisfied and wanting to get a burrito on the way home. FOOD: - Sashimi san ten mori: 4/5. Fresh sashimi, but nothing earth-shattering. I loved their special wasabi sauce, but they give you so so little of it. Overall, decent plate for the price.- Mabodofu don (tofu and pork over rice): 2/5. Not the most flavorful, but does the job. I've definitely had better tofu dishes elsewhere.- Kamojiru udon (udon with a side of duck): 2/5. Again, this dish wasn't very flavorful. Not sure if this was intentional, but the side of udon noodles came out cold and tough, and it just didn't hit the spot. :(- Yakitori negima (chicken skewers): 5/5. Juicy and flavorful! Probably my favorite plate of the evening.- Hamachi Kama Yakitori (grilled yellowtail collar): 5/5. Very good fish--it's so soft that it falls apart from the bone. Highly recommend this one as well, though I believe it may be seasonal.- Franck Peillot wine: A nice white wine to pair with the fish! It was sweet and easy to drink. Recommend this one. :)SERVICE: 2/5. No bueno.The first host was absolutely lovely in greeting and seating us. We made a reservation online and noted a food allergy, and they even texted us beforehand to double check the allergy.Unfortunately, it all went downhill from there. Our server was incredibly pushy all night. While we waited for our food, she repeatedly asked us things like: "Aren't you going to be hungry?" and "Don't you want to order more food?" It made us very uncomfortable.Of course I was starving, but I had no interest in ordering more food if each individual plate was going to take 30 minutes to arrive (yes, 30 minutes).AMBIENCE: 5/5. Gorgeous outdoor eating area, especially at night when the string lights are on (and they have heat lamps to keep you warm). The ambience is the saving grace of Rintaro.Overall, I don't mind paying a premium for a restaurant, but the food has to (at the very least) be good. At Rintaro, it's just meh. The pushy salesmanship from our server killed the vibe of the evening and left a very bad taste in our mouths. :(Tips: If you must go, definitely reserve a table ahead of time. We came in for a Friday dinner reservation and were seated right away. And if you can, check the weather before you go--the tarp outside doesn't protect from rain very well (especially if you're seated around the edges). Good luck!

Depending on the table you get, you will either feel

2/5 by Peter S. on 03/04/2022

Depending on the table you get, you will either feel elevated or devastated. DO NOT get a table in the backroom storage room or the soulless outdoor parklet. Here's why: Rintaro has great interior design and decor, this is part what you pay for. We had an indoor reservation made on Resy. The photos on the Rintaro website show that all indoor tables are adjacent to the busy bar/kitchen area. This is where you want to be seated. However, we were placed in the overflow room at the back of the restaurant, which is separated from the main dining room and which serves as storage for plum wine in ugly plastic containers. The back room has none of the fancy architecture that you see on Rintaro's website. None of the busy vibe from the main restaurant. We were obviously very disappointed. Worse, the only "view" you have from that table is to the restrooms. Hardly what you'd expect when you see the beautiful photos on their site. We asked the owner that Rintaro should tell diners who cannot be seated in the main room that they will have a table at the overflow room for fairness' sake.No empathy towards us, no apology, no comment to make us feel any better about our experience. And what about food? It's good as described in all other reviews and is worth 4 stars.

Came here with the set menu since we had more than 8 people

4/5 by Cindy F. on 03/04/2022

Came here with the set menu since we had more than 8 people and there were definitely courses that were surprising but also ones that were a bit plain (eg, the rice and noodle dish at the end). Didn't take pics of every course but best presentation was probably the sushi and most memorable was probably the ground chicken skewers. If I were to come again would try other kinds of skewers.

🙂

I've been so slow to write reviews these days.

4/5 by Diane B. on 02/21/2022

Not going out nearly as much, so I should be up to date, but inertia and all that... This night out was to celebrate my birthday back in December, with a rare visit from my Portlandia son here to make it even more special. Our visit came just after the beginning of the first Omicron era (I date everything based on where it is in the pandemic timeline, because that's the only way I remember it.). They were exceedingly cautious. We had to wait outside on the sidewalk until our reservation time. We were also asked to put our masks back on anytime a server came to our table. I'm all in favor of keeping things safe, but must say with the multi-course, small plate menu, this meant lots of whipping our masks on and off. It made me ultra-sensitive to the pacing, which was a little off, and detracted slightly from the experience, especially when dishes that they advised us to eat together did not arrive at the table at the same time.1st course: Yosedofu- Freshly made silken tofu with meiji soy milk, ginger, scallion, Katsuobushi and shiitake shoyu. 3.5 stars. Exquisitely textured large chunk of dofu and the condiments were so fresh and vibrant, but overall the dish was bland.2nd Course: Gindara No Sunomono-Miso-cured black cod with farm cucumbers and sweet vinegar. 4 starsThey are masters of texture, and this cod was perfectly cooked, almost creamy, but crispy around the edges. I would cut back on the sweetness a little3rd Course: San Ten Mori- sashimi plate with konbu cured halibut, baja yellowtail amberjack, big eye tuna with Half Moon Bay wasabi. 4 starsEvery piece was stunningly fresh and perfectly cut, my only knock is the portion was extremely small. Although intended for 3, T doesn't eat raw fish, so just 2 of us were sharing it, and it was embarrassingly meager.4th course: Kanpachi Furai- minced kanpachi and sweet onion Katsu with dashi ankake, gobo, scallion and hot mustard. 3 stars. My least favorite dish. Just not a very interesting concoction. Chopping the fish with the onion made for a mushy katsu with a blurred flavor profile.5th Course: Yakitori Tsukune- Grilled minced chicken + egg yolk. 4.5 starsWe all loved the flavor punch this had. The mince/grind on the chicken was large and succulent and the raw beaten egg as a dip made it richer and added a lovely sort of glazed effect.Entree course: Rice Becker Lane Pork, tofu, barley miso, hot chili, king trumpet mushroom, tempura bits. 3.5The flavor of this was like a very muted version of the traditional Ma Po - tasty, but lacking punch. The pork was ground so finely that was just apparent as tiny isolated bits and there was too much sauce for the amount of rice.Overall, it felt like Japan in so many ways, including all the special rules about how to eat. I enjoyed the experience and the Set Menu described above was very reasonably priced at $65, but it wasn't a standout.Food: 32/40Service: 16/20Atm/intangibles: 16/20Value: 17/20Overall: 81/100. just makes it into 4 star territory

I've been here thrice in 5 years and three things have been

3/5 by Hrant N. on 02/16/2022

I've been here thrice in 5 years and three things have been a constant:1. The food is largely bland and under-seasoned. Maybe my palate is not sophisticated enough to perceive the sort of delicate flavors they're going for, but this last time I was wondering if I'd contracted COVID.2. There's always someone on the wait staff who is at the very least passive-aggressively insolent if not openly disrespectful. Whether it's showing up mid-bite and asking you to mask up so they can hover entirely way too close and tell you all about how the reduction is made (for a place that requires boosters, they're quite incongruent) or being scornful when you point out an error on the bill, you'll be reminded your place in the pecking order.3. The chicken oyster skewers are some of the best yakitori anywhere in SF, full stop. I'd just get 2-3 orders of these and watch the person taking your order pop a vessel when they realize you're treating their Michelin Bib Gourmand IZAKAYA like a plain old restaurant located between a FoodsCo and a Best Buy.

🤢

We were pretty disappointed by this place.

2/5 by Danielle A. on 02/15/2022

It has such a nice aesthetic, but the food was underwhelming and lacked a sense of authenticity. The crab salad was very lightly seasoned, and felt like something you could easily make at home with fresh crab. The kabocha croquettes were lacking texture and salt. The cheese chicken katau was fine, once again, nothing that made it stand apart from plenty of other more convenient restaurants in Japantown (Izumiya is bomb) or elsewhere in the bay (Curry Hyuga in Burlingame). The sashimi was very fresh, and that was the only highlight of the meal. Also, service was not what we were expecting. Even if we were midbite and a server came up to the table we were required to put on a mask. Totally on board with Covid requirements, but at a place where you are ordering small plates that come out so frequently, it doesn't make a lot of sense, to me as a frequent restaurant visitor. It would probably be better to deliver all the food at once to a table, if the restaurant wanted to limit exposure of customers to their staff. For the amount of money you're going to spend, I highly recommend going somewhere like Niku (0.5 mi away!!) and ordering the chicken fat rice! Amazing, thoughtful service and food.Side note: we were on the drive home when we realized we never got one of the yakitori mushroom skewers we ordered. Obviously, we didn't feel it was important enough to make a fuss, but make sure you keep track of your own order if you go there

🤢

2.5 (while the food slightly improved from my precovid

2/5 by Ann W. on 02/12/2022

2.5 (while the food slightly improved from my precovid visit, I am still not a fan) the sashimi was frozen due to too much ice on the presentation. It kinda ruined the taste. it looks nice and all but I don't think I paid to eat semi frozen fish slices. Tried several dishes... from chicken wings which I thought needed more garlic for flavor... but otherwise would been good appetizer. Yakitori was a miss for me, as I had better in Hawaii. It was not flavorful.... As for the semi star of the show... it has to be the fish cake udon- mainly I like the fish cake more than my last visit.

INCREDIBLE - this is my new favorite spot in the city and I

5/5 by Phuongngan B. on 02/04/2022

INCREDIBLE - this is my new favorite spot in the city and I can't wait to come back! Make a reservation, you'll need it! We luckily scored a booth for 4 booking on the day of. There are indoor and outdoor seatings and they're vigilant about checking your booster and ID.Vibe check: dark, moody, and lively place for a date or to meet up with friends and try a bunch of different dishes.Food check: Hanetauki Gyoza - aka pork gyoza with chicken foot jelly - 4.5/5. Can't screw up gyoza at an izakaya. We loved the crunchy pan. Ikura Don - aka steelhead roe and rice - 5/5. MUST ORDER. The roe was fresh, firm, and nicely marinated in their house soy sauce. Our group shared a bowl but I could have eaten 3 on my own. For $15, this is a steal! Yakitori Sori - aka chicken oysters - 4/5. It was good and would go nicely with beer but I'd rather try other items on the menu. Yakitori Tsukune - aka minced chicken- 4/5. Same review as the sori, 4/5. It was good but not memorable. Kanpachi No Sashimi - aka yellowtail- 5/5. You can tell the sashimi was fresh based on how firm each bite was. It's no surprise the fish is fresh because this place was packed on a Tuesday night. Panna Cotta - 5/5. I didn't think I'd love something as "simple" as hojicha panna cottta. Lightly sweet with a balanced bitter hint of roasted tea.Kana No Sunomono - aka crab cucumber salad - 5/5. Super plump, sweet crab. We wish we had ordered more.

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.

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!

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.
