Reservations at Blanca

Anyone know how the reservation process is working at Blanca (Roberta's "off-shoot")? Their website said to call today between 10am-6pm for reservations. Each time I call, an automated message says they're busy with other customers and to please call back, but then it beeps and asks you to leave a message. After a bunch of tries dialing this morning, I left a message. When I tried again, the mailbox was full and I was happy to have gotten a message in before the voice-mail filled up. Fast forward a few hours to now and the initial automated message is back on. Do they intend for people to keep calling until they speak to a live person or are we supposed to leave a voice-mail and someone will eventually get back to us in the order they were received? Very confusing and their website provides no further details.

    In a post that is either soon to be deleted or moved to this board, a poster in manhattan said they had gotten through and secured a reservation - as of noon today they were full through sept 8th.

      This actually isn't correct. I just called 30 minutes ago (so at 4:30) and secured a res on a Friday in August. They said they had lots of availability, it was just Saturdays that were booked fully.

        Thanks. I ended up calling again a few hours after my post and got through easily and secured a res. A very disjointed process but worked out in the end!
