AIBU to find these places a huge faff? Also to feel they're increasing in number?
I know I can just not go- BUT my favourite restaurant (food wise) is walk ins only. It's the only place that does a specific dish I really love and in the past month I have attempted to go three times. So I walk into reception and ask how long I have to wait for a table of two. The first two occasions I was told 90 minutes. I was starving so went elsewhere.
Last night I had a plan. I work near said restaurant and was meeting a friend after work for dinner. She couldn't meet me until 7.30pm. So at 6pm I went into restaurant and asked if I could put my name down for a table for two. 45 minute wait this time. I explained I was meeting my friend at half seven but they couldn't give me that time it was 6.45 or nothing, so I went back at 6.15 and got our names down for a 7.30pm table. It was such a faff!
I know a lot of people seemingly don't mind as the place is obviously very busy but does anyone else find this an annoying policy, not being able to just call up and book a table for when you want to go?
