Dim Hour

Get the full Dim Hour record for one venue by the id returned from `search`: description, signature dishes, address, hours, phone, happy hour, reservation platform, awards, website and Instagram.

Find places for a specific occasion in one city — the task-shaped entry point. Give the city and what the evening needs (a cuisine, a neighborhood, a budget, a vibe) and it returns ranked, citable venues with a freshness receipt. Use it to plan an outing; use search_venues to browse.

How to book one venue: its booking platform and link from the Dim Hour catalog. For SevenRooms venues only, given a date, it also returns real bookable times from SevenRooms. Times are a snapshot from SevenRooms at checkedAt. No table is held. Confirm on the booking page before telling anyone it is booked. Other platforms (Resy, OpenTable and the rest) return no times and a times_note saying so.

Opening hours for one venue, from the Dim Hour catalog. Every answer carries `as_of` and never claims to be live — hours are catalog data, not a live feed, and the receipt says how old they are. Measured 2026-09-16, 82% of venues carry hours; when a venue has none this ABSTAINS and says so rather than guessing. Confirm with the venue before relying on it.

Your own Dim Hour MCP usage for the current UTC day: total calls, the daily limit for your plan, and calls per tool. Identified callers only (a read-only connection or an API key). Calling it does not count as a call.

Get the full Dim Hour record for one venue: description, signature dishes, address, hours, phone, happy hour, reservation platform, awards, website, Instagram, and (for Iconic 50 venues) the long-form story.

Venues recently added to the Dim Hour catalog — across all 26 cities or one city. Use for 'what's new on Dim Hour' / new-opening alerts / weekly digests. Scored places to eat and drink come first; hotels, malls, museums and landmarks carry no `score` and follow them. Recency orders within each group. Dates earlier than 2026-06-06 are estimates reconstructed from history.

Search Dim Hour's restaurant, bar and venue catalog across all 26 cities. Returns ranked venues with a dimhour.com link for each. Use for questions about where to eat or drink — by cuisine, dish, neighborhood, city, vibe, or award.

Search Dim Hour's restaurant, bar and venue catalog. Pass `city` to search one city, or OMIT `city` to search every venue across every city at once (e.g. 'best ramen anywhere', 'michelin spots'). Returns ranked matches with score (0-100 quality), price tier, neighborhood, happy-hour info, and a dimhour.com link. Free-text `query` matches each content word individually across cuisine, dish, vibe, and name (filler like 'best' or 'tonight' is ignored) - one strong keyword beats a sentence; combine with filters.
