No Reservations released in theatres Friday, July 27, 2007. The film shot in New York City from October of 2005 through May of 2006 and employed 990 New York City residents.

By electing to shoot No Reservations in New York, Director Scott Hicks intended for the city’s restaurant culture to add a unique ambiance to the story. The director found a vacant corner space on Bleecker Street at Charles for his fictional restaurant in the West Village, with large windows that offered excellent views of city life out on the street and served as a ready-made backdrop no matter what way the camera pointed out.

The faux restaurant fit in so well with the West Village restaurant scene, that the production had a number of people come inside the space hoping to have dinner. Star Catherine Zeta Jones recalled that “several people came in from the street asking, ‘Do we need reservations?’ They thought it was the new hot spot to have dinner. We had to break it to them that it was just a movie set.”

The film stars Catherine Zeta Jones, who shot The Terminal and Entrapment in NYC. Aaron Eckhart recently shot Conversations with Other Women in NYC. Abigail Breslin shot Raising Helen and Keane in NYC.
