what's the best way to make a table reservation?

Answer 1

You should call and make a reservation atleast 10 hours before going there. You can find the telephone numbers by searching Yahoo or Google and/or pick up the restaurants card at your next visit. Internet reservations are okay but may not always work.

Answer 2

Email if possible. Otherwise make sure you get the name of the person who took the reservation. The more popular the restaurant, the earlier you need to book. If you are late, and there are only two of you, offer to take an early reservation and to leave early (have dessert at home!) Obviously, don't do this on a special occasion, otherwise you will be getting a reservation for one the next time!
