This month, American Express is giving out hundreds of free restaurant meals nationwide on Resy—and all you need to do is sign up for a free account and, of course, set your alarm.
Starting at 10am Pacific time on Monday, August 7, the multinational financial services corporation (and the online booking platform it owns) will launch its joint “Dinner On Us, All Month Long” campaign at resy.com/shopsmall, giving Angelenos the chance to dine at Mid-City’s Harold & Belle’s for free (or up to $99 per person, at least) on Wednesday, August 9.
If you don’t manage to grab a dinner reservation at this longtime Black-owned Creole restaurant, don’t fret: The deal runs each Monday night through August 30, with each week featuring a different independent restaurant in L.A. The participating restaurants for the entirety of the month are as follows:
Wed, Aug 9 (Resy drop on Mon, Aug 7 at 10am): Harold & Belle’s in Mid-City
Wed, Aug 16 (Resy drop on Mon, Aug 14 at 10am): Kismet in Los Feliz
Wed, Aug 23 (Resy drop on Mon, Aug 21 at 10am): Great White Venice
Wed, Aug 30 (Resy drop on Mon, Aug 28 at 10am): Madre Torrance
Reservations are limited, and are available in 15-minute increments from 5 to 10pm for up to six people. Each check will include a mandatory 20% tip, and no, you don’t need to be an American Express cardholder to grab this deal.
Separate from the “Dinner on Us” campaign, Amex is also offering a $15 statement credit for cardholders whenever they spend $60 or more in a single purchase at select independent L.A. restaurants on Resy (all of which can be found here) throughout the month of August. Among them, you’ll find Dear John’s in Culver City, which first opened in 1962 and recently avoided demolition (yet again) this June; the Valley’s iconic Casa Vega; South L.A.’s Post & Beam, which we named one of the city’s best brunch spots; and Venice’s Dudley Market, a sustainability-focused raw bar on the boardwalk and, if you ask us, one of L.A.’s best seafood restaurants.
