CSR Dining Credit Restaurants: 36 Added, 35 Removed

What changed

A net gain of one restaurant hides a lot of movement: 71 restaurants changed status. Two cities are now off the map entirely. Salt Lake City lost all five of its restaurants and Tulsa all three, so a Sapphire Reserve dinner in either city no longer earns the credit anywhere.

Los Angeles gained the most, five restaurants, including Found Oyster and Queen’s Raw Bar & Grill. Las Vegas, which the July update cut to a single restaurant, is back to three with Ada’s and Al Solito Posto. New York City added four and lost four, including Scarr’s Pizza, so its total is unchanged but the options are not. Atlanta lost three.

Some of this is a reversal. Phoenix Palace in New York, Latha in Phoenix and Ironside Fish & Oyster in San Diego all left the program in the July dining credit update and are back now. The Alston in Chicago went the other way: added in July, gone in August. A restaurant that counted last time is not guaranteed to count this time.

Our counts come from the published August 28 change, checked against our own July list. Other trackers count slightly differently: Frequent Miler tallied 34 additions and 28 removals. Either way, the direction is the same: a roster of roughly 400 restaurants that Chase is actively reshaping.

City by city

36 cities saw a change. The ones with the most movement come first; green is restaurants added, red is restaurants removed.

36 restaurants added

Every restaurant that joined the Exclusive Tables collection in this update, by city. Meals paid with the Sapphire Reserve at these now count toward the dining credit.

35 restaurants removed

Removed means the restaurant has left the Exclusive Tables collection, and new meals there no longer trigger the credit. Chase told Thrifty Traveler that a reservation made before a removal still earns the credit for up to 60 days afterwards.

Check a restaurant before you book

The roster moves more often than most people expect, and a restaurant that counted on your last visit may not count on the next. Before a dinner you are planning around the credit:

1. Look it up in the collection. OpenTable keeps the official list at opentable.com/sapphire-reserve-exclusive-tables; a restaurant simply being on OpenTable is not enough.
2. Check the date of the last change. If a roster update landed since you last looked, the restaurant may have moved on or off.
3. Pay with the Sapphire Reserve, directly with the restaurant rather than through a delivery app or payment service. The credit follows the card charge, not the reservation.

Planning around the new list

If a city just gained restaurants, pairing a dinner there with a stay at one of the Chase Edit hotels and tickets bought with the Sapphire Reserve StubHub credit puts three of the card’s credits on one trip. The dining credit guide shows where Exclusive Tables restaurants and Edit hotels overlap most, and every Edit hotel’s page lists the Exclusive Tables restaurants within 3 km of it.
