No official service that I am aware of, but if you are very nice about it + call and ask about last minute cancellations- you may score.
Also, if you are in person and are polite + nice-- $$$$ given discreetly may work. It is what it is. If you are staying at a hotel, a concierge will often secure a spot at a "full" restaurant. |

My Google-fu is failing me right now but several years ago there was a great WaPo article where the author went around to popular restaurants on a Friday night without reservations to see if slipping the host/hostess a $20 would actually work.
IIRC it worked at like 4 out of 5 places he went to. So maybe just try that. |
