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

Greater Boston should be treated as a regional market, not one single restaurant district. The credit is most useful if the participating restaurants match where you live, work, or plan to spend the evening.

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

Quick Take

For Greater Boston, Chase Sapphire Reserve® Exclusive Tables currently has a useful but still selective list of 11 participating restaurants. The list has changed, with 6 restaurants appearing to be new and 7 earlier restaurants no longer showing. 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.

Greater Boston Restaurants Currently on the Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables List

Grill 23 & Bar

Grill 23 & Bar is the Back Bay steakhouse institution: prime beef, New England seafood, polished service, and a Wine Spectator Grand Award list. It is a classic use for the $150 window when you want a steakhouse dinner where wine, sides, or dessert can absorb the credit.

Mahaniyom

Mahaniyom is a small Brookline Thai restaurant focused on tapas-style, family-style dishes and cocktails. Because reservations are limited and seatings are timed, it is a practical but planning-heavy credit use for a spicy shared dinner rather than a last-minute credit run.

La Royal

La Royal in Cambridge comes from the Celeste team and explores regional Peruvian cooking in a neighborhood setting. It is a useful $150-window target for a dinner of ceviche-style dishes, mains, cocktails, and pisco flavors without jumping to Boston steakhouse pricing.

Uni

Uni in Back Bay serves inventive Japanese and Asian-influenced seafood, evolving from Ken Oringer's sashimi bar into a larger restaurant with sushi, raw dishes, and global flavors. Use the credit for a high-end sushi dinner where the bill can rise quickly but stay flexible.

Celeste

Celeste is the intimate Somerville / Union Square Peruvian restaurant from JuanMa Calderón and Maria Rondeau, known for a small room, vibrant dishes, and pisco drinks. It is a strong credit use if you can get a reservation and want a neighborhood meal with real personality.

Krasi

Krasi is the Back Bay Greek wine-and-meze restaurant with a deep list of Greek bottles and regional small plates. The credit works well for a two-person dinner of spreads, seafood, lamb, and wine; it is especially useful if you value the wine program as much as the food.

Harvest

Harvest has been a Harvard Square fixture for decades, with seasonal New American cooking, brunch, lunch, dinner, fireplaces, and a garden terrace. It is a practical Cambridge redemption for parents' weekend, visitor meals, or patio season when the credit lowers a normal bill.

Fox & The Knife

Fox & The Knife is chef Karen Akunowicz's South Boston Italian enoteca, inspired by Modena with handmade pasta, aperitivo energy, and a lively room. Use the $150 credit for a pasta-and-wine date night where the bill can feel celebratory without tasting-menu formality.

Bar Volpe

Bar Volpe is Karen Akunowicz's South Boston follow-up, focused on Southern Italian cooking, wood-fired flavors, pasta, and a strong bar. It is a good credit target when you want a less buttoned-up meal than a steakhouse but still enough food and drinks to make the statement credit matter.

Umbria

Umbria is a downtown Boston Italian steakhouse and rooftop option, with pasta, chops, and a Northern Italian angle. The credit is useful for a business dinner or group meal where steakhouse-adjacent pricing makes the $150 half-year benefit easy to use in one sitting.

Comfort Kitchen

Comfort Kitchen in Dorchester centers global comfort food through migration, spice, and Black and immigrant foodways. It is one of Boston's more interesting credit uses: a meal can feel purposeful and specific while still landing closer to a normal dinner budget than fine dining.

Notable Picks

Best steakhouse option

Grill 23 & Bar. This is the right bucket for a planned steakhouse night, not for someone trying to keep the check close to $150.

Best Italian or pizza option

Fox & The Knife, Bar Volpe. These can be easier to use than a tasting menu if you want the credit to offset a normal dinner.

Best practical shortlist

Mahaniyom, Uni, Celeste, Krasi. 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

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

The credit is easiest to value when it applies to a restaurant you already wanted. If Greater Boston'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 Greater Boston and make sure the restaurant is still participating.
