Chase Sapphire Reserve® Exclusive Tables in Connecticut: Where to Use the $300 Dining Credit

Connecticut is a regional market, so geography matters. A restaurant can be on the same Chase Sapphire Reserve® list and still be inconvenient depending on where you live, stay, or plan to spend the day.

Last checked: July 8, 2026. Restaurant participation can change.

Quick Take

For Connecticut, Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables currently has a short list of 3 participating restaurants. The current list includes 1 restaurants that appear to be new since the earlier version. The credit is useful only if the restaurants fit how you already plan to dine.

How the Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables Credit Works

Eligible Chase Sapphire Reserve® and J.P. Morgan Reserve cardmembers can receive up to $300 per calendar year in statement credits at Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables restaurants through OpenTable.

The credit is split into two windows:

• Up to $150 from January 1 through June 30
• Up to $150 from July 1 through December 31

To use the credit, dine at a participating Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables restaurant and pay with an eligible card. The credit does not apply to every OpenTable restaurant, unused credits do not roll over between the two six-month periods, and participating restaurants can change.

Eligible cardmembers can also link an eligible card on OpenTable for access to special or primetime reservation inventory. Terms apply.

Connecticut Restaurants Currently on the Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables List

Esh Modern Mediterranean - Fairfield

Esh in Fairfield serves modern Mediterranean food drawing from Israel, Lebanon, Turkey, Greece, Morocco, and the Aegean. It is the only true Connecticut listing here, and the credit works well for a Fairfield dinner of dips, grilled dishes, and cocktails; note stricter policies for larger parties.

The North Fork Table & Inn

The North Fork Table & Inn is in Southold, New York, not Connecticut, but appears on the Connecticut page. Chef John Fraser's East End restaurant focuses on Long Island farms, seafood, duck, beef, and local wine, making the credit useful only if a North Fork trip is already planned.

Sag Harbor Tavern

Sag Harbor Tavern is also a New York listing, with old-NYC tavern influence, handmade pastas, spicy mussels, a 45-day dry-aged cheeseburger, and wine. Treat the $150 credit as a Hamptons-trip dining offset, not a realistic Connecticut benefit unless you will be nearby.

Notable Picks

Best use if the list is narrow

Start with Esh Modern Mediterranean - Fairfield. With 3 current options, the benefit is more situational than automatic.

Best practical shortlist

Esh Modern Mediterranean - Fairfield, Sag Harbor Tavern. If you want the credit to feel like a normal dinner credit, start with these before looking at pricier or less convenient options.

Final Thoughts

Connecticut looks like a weak market for using the Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables credit, but only if the eligible restaurants overlap with places you would actually visit.

The $300 annual amount is helpful, but only the portion you realistically use should count in your card math. If Connecticut's list changes where you eat just to use the benefit, value it at less than face value.

Before booking, check the current OpenTable Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables page for Connecticut and make sure the restaurant is still participating.
