The button either said that other customers were using the site or No Reservations available. I tried back in 10 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour. Didn't ever change. Don't know if it's bots taking up the spots or some other reason. Fun times.
it also depends on which tier of Omakase account you have. There are four (three published, one private). Free, basic accounts have lowest priority.
