Greed At Its Worst
If you want to take all the fun out of dining out, this is the app for you. Everything is about extracting every last dollar out of you.
Bad customer service
Terrible un-personal UI
Pure scam and even worse customer service
We joined Dorsia thinking some hard to get reservations will be easier to get. But they’ve been a HUGE DISSAPOINTMENT. Context: NYC, top income, dine out 4 days a week, travel internationally, well connected to get a last minute table at the city’s blue chip restaurants.
I think Dorsia offers a terrible scheme to tie you up into a system that perhaps the nouveau riche or youngsters may find helpful. Some minimums are just outrageous on principle. Even if you order an expensive bottle of wine, unless it is DRC or like. Many reservations can be found on other apps so you don’t need Dorsia. There is one restaurant that we used it for and now that we’re insiders, don’t need Dorsia to get a table there. In a few other in restaurants we’ve been trying to get a table, there is either no availability or availability at super early (5:30pm) or super late (10:30pm) time slots. Mind you, we do NOT have the basic version. They also don’t have family usage so -works for singles, not so great for couples. The only upside so far is not having to ask for the bill - that is if you’re dining alone or want to pay for the whole party.
Waste of a spend. DEFINITELYNOT RENEWING!
PS- for those who aren’t coming through a reference, they ask for access to your entire contact list. That is a very high price to pay for a mediocre scam like product. They should be paying you for your contacts. I am hoping they get sued for this.

My favorite dining app
Love this app. Makes it so easy to take clients out last minute at great restaurants.
Pointless
Unless you purchase the Premium or Premium Plus memberships (which are equivalent to a car down payment) it’s pointless. The reservations available for the Access membership you can get on your own without needing a minimum spend. I basically gave the app owners $200 for nothing.
Scam
This is a bait and switch app, gating what you want behind additional membership tiers. AVOID.
Scam
Buying a membership locks up your money and then Dorsia controls how fast you can spend it, has non-existent customer support, and doesn’t guarantee reservations. Totally pointless.
Seamless evening
No bill, see your order on your phone.. and a reservation that was almost impossible to come by.
Search is broken
Trying to search this app makes me die inside. It resets your filters and shows you tables you can’t book. I won’t be renewing.
Data collection scam
This app asks for your full contact list, and then does not provide access to the app itself. I suspect they’ll be facing privacy litigation in the near future over this. Avoid.
Best app
Incredible restaurants only. So helpful
False advertising
Every reservation available to access members is easily accessed on OpenTable and resy. Only sign up for Dorsia if you’re willing to shell out for the expensive plans. Waste of money otherwise.
Useless basic membership
The basic membership is completely useless. It doesn’t offer any availability to get the most difficult restaurants which are only available with the premium versions which entirely defeats the purpose of the app.
Upgrades are a lie
I was interested in some reservations in NY and found them to be locked behind the paywall and it told me to upgrade to Access at $200 - I did that only to be told no, I needed a further upgrade at $5000 more.
The company intentionally misleads and then refuses refund requests due to clearly false advertising. This is a scam and Apple should remove it:

Scammy practices
They try to take your contacts claiming they don't use it but want to validate you for vibe? This is supposed to be a service to book restaurants. If u don't use the data why the scammy gate? We've seen this movie before and know how it ends
Increasingly disappointing
I liked it at the start enough to sign up for the $5k plan. But it’s totally changed. Now, if you want to book with any of the really good restaurants, you have to get the $25k pre spend plan - even for a Tuesday night reservation. Which I would actually be open to if it was a genuine annual spend - instead you have to spend a certain amount each month or you just lose the value if unspent. For the remainder of the restaurants, the availability is similar to resy/open table etc.
They also automatically roll you over without even an email in advance which is a pretty good sign of a subscription plan that’s nervous about the value they offer.

Found a better alternative
I just got accepted to Worldkey dot . Club. And it’s way much better, so far everything works. Dorsia doesn’t work. Period. Any reservations that matter aren’t available or a “custom request” there’s literally never a response. Almost all the restaurants they have you could probably just go and give the door guy $100 and he’ll let you right in. When and if you get your check or your updated bill, there’s so many fees and hidden things and Sometimes there’s a fee on the bill that has nothing to do with the restaurant. It’s just purely Dorsia.

Availability So Poor The $ Goes To Waste
The availability of reservations on Dorsia that are not available on Resy with advanced notice was poor to begin with and now with the level higher than premium it’s even worse. Our $$ goes unused and is wasted when it expires. Shame on me for not thinking that the fine print would not be implemented in such a way as to eliminate value and leave a vile taste in this member’s mouth.

Scam
Not worth it
Filter by subscription level
Please let us filter to just premium. Otherwise this is just a huge waste of time
