Preferred Reservations and Seating

Founders receive a special members-only reservation page and will have early access to reservations, including hard-to-get holidays and weekends. You will also receive Gold Star Waitlist status if you walk in for dinner without reservations.

Your membership begins when you join. Founder hats ship within 30 days of signup. After your payment is verified, open your digital membership card in your account to show it on your phone and see available wallet downloads. Reservation privileges begin as reservations become available, separately from Founder Credit availability.

Your online house account. Review your dining credit and find Founder Credit availability through your members-only reservation page.

A few club secrets. Special dishes and cocktails available just to members.

Dining Credit

Choose when you want to use your credits

Use your priority reservations and Gold Star waitlist benefits every time you visit. When you’d like to use Founder Credit, choose from the available credit reservations shown on the members-only calendar.

Founder Credit reservations are available across dinner and Saturday & Sunday brunch services, and your credits never expire.

See how Founder Credit availability works

Founder Credit reservations are distributed throughout the calendar so members have opportunities to use their credit across the year.

We expect to begin with approximately eight Founder Credit table bookings available per day, adjusting availability as we see how members actually dine. When fewer credits are redeemed during one service, additional Founder Credit reservations may be made available for upcoming services.

Some dates will naturally be more popular. Weekends, holidays, and the weeks following our grand opening may book more quickly, while quieter periods will generally offer more availability.

Through your members-only reservation page, you’ll be able to:

  • See which dates have Founder Credit reservations available.
  • Choose an available Founder Credit reservation when you want to apply dining credit.
  • Make a priority member reservation without using credit whenever you prefer.
  • Use your Gold Star waitlist benefits whenever your first-choice reservation is not available.
  • Check back for newly available Founder Credit reservations as the calendar changes.

Founder Credit may also be available for eligible walk-in dining and direct takeout when same-day availability remains.

Your credits never expire, so there is no need to rush to use them.

The people behind Spaghetti Western

A Neighborhood Restaurant. A Family Story.

AJ Gilbert and Martha Madison made the Santa Clarita Valley their home in 2021 after spending 20 years living and working in the heart of Hollywood. As long-time restaurateurs, their only complaint was too few independent restaurants where they could share date nights, special occasions, family dinners or cocktails with friends. After getting a feel for downtown Newhall with its walkable streets, film history and burgeoning food scene, they felt called to stake their claim on Main Street.

AJ Gilbert

AJ Gilbert

Restaurateur & co-founder

AJ founded the Luna Park Restaurant Group, opening his first location, Luna Park, in San Francisco's Mission District in 2000. Over the past 25+ years, he led the ground-up construction of six more restaurants throughout LA, San Francisco, NYC and Dallas. Spaghetti Western will be his fifth concept launch and first location in SCV. AJ's love language is service to others, and he brings a deep love of community and hospitality to everything he does.

Martha Madison

Martha Madison

Hospitality entrepreneur & co-founder

Martha is a longtime restaurateur and Founder of The Madison Collective, a national hospitality recruitment agency. She also previously managed and co-owned the Luna Park restaurants in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York as well as the popular neighborhood sports bar, Henry's Hat, in Studio City. With a heart of hospitality and her finger on the pulse of the restaurant industry, Martha is thrilled to join the growing SCV restaurant community.

A few things you might be wondering

Before You Pull Up a Chair

When will Spaghetti Western open?

We expect to welcome you in 8–10 weeks. This is our current estimate; a confirmed opening date will be announced.

How will I enjoy my dining credit?

Founder dining credit is redeemable daily, with a dedicated allocation available for members each service. Through the members-only reservation page, you can make preferred reservations and see which dates still have Founder Credit availability. Choose a date with available Founder Credit to apply your dining credit to your visit, or use your preferred member reservation access for any available date and pay normally.

Founder Credit may also be used for eligible walk-in dining and direct takeout when same-day availability remains. New availability is offered throughout the calendar, and cancellations can reopen Founder Credit spots on popular dates. Unused dining credit carries forward and does not expire.

When do my membership benefits begin?

Your membership begins when you join. Founder hats ship within 30 days of signup. After your payment is verified, open your digital membership card in your account to show it on your phone and see available wallet downloads. Your reservation privileges begin as reservations become available, separately from Founder Credit availability.

What comes with each membership?

The Gold Rush includes two hats, and The Trailblazer includes one hat. The $400 Gold Rush includes four tickets; the $200 Trailblazer includes two. Join us for our Founders exclusive weekend preview party before opening. Have your photo taken on our exclusive red carpet, sign the Founders Wall, and enjoy complimentary wine, cocktails and light Italian fare. Every membership includes preferred dinner and brunch reservations, member-only dishes and cocktails, an online house account, and Founder Credit dining throughout the year. Buy it for yourself, or share your membership and house account with a second member. Gold Rush includes one $600 shared dining-credit account, two hats and four tickets total, even when purchased for yourself.

How do preferred reservations and Gold Star waitlist recognition work?

Non-member reservations are for parties of six or more only. Members may also book smaller parties and receive preferred consideration for all party sizes, including larger groups and semi-private dining, subject to availability.

Following your reservation or waitlist request, we’ll generally contact you when a suitable cancellation or opening becomes available and hold the table while we await your response. We’ll tell you when to reply and do our best to accommodate your table preferences. Your booking is confirmed when you hear back from us.

The waitlist is generally first come, first served. Gold Star recognition lets our team know you’re a member and gives you preferred consideration for suitable openings; it does not guarantee immediate seating, a fixed wait time, or moving ahead of every other party.

When Is the Preview Weekend Party?

We’re planning our Founders exclusive weekend preview party before opening. The $400 Gold Rush includes four tickets; the $200 Trailblazer includes two. Have your photo taken on our exclusive red carpet, sign the Founders Wall, and enjoy complimentary wine, cocktails and light Italian fare. We’ll send invitations with exact dates and RSVP details as opening plans take shape. These invitations are separate from Founder Credit dining availability.

What happens when the original 600 is complete?

The program can begin with any number of members, up to a maximum of 600 across all available levels. We may close enrollment earlier depending on the mix of memberships sold; we do not need to sell all 600 to begin.

What am I purchasing?

You’re purchasing dining credit and the privileges of your selected membership level. Membership is a dining program and does not convey equity or ownership in Spaghetti Western.

Can I use dining credit to buy gift certificates?

No. Membership dining credit cannot be used to buy or reload gift certificates or gift cards, or be converted into someone else’s account credit. Enjoy it on eligible dine-in and direct takeout purchases, including applicable sales tax. Gift certificates must be purchased separately using another accepted payment method.
