Many Restaurants in tourist areas
don’t accept reservations. However, they are usually strongly recommended
at dinner shows and the most expensive Restaurants. Therefore, depending
on the type of Restaurant you might want to call the Restaurant
at the beginning of your stay in town to ask. If the Restaurant
has a particularly hot reputation, you may want to call as soon
as you make plans to visits. If you’re from out of town and you’ve
heard enough to make you want to go to the Restaurant, then you’d
better get your name on their list quick.
Have them read back all your information
to see if they got it correctly.
Make sure they understand and have listed
any special requests you have made.
Get the name of the employee who is taking
your reservation in case there is any confusion later.
Confirm the Restaurant’s reservation cancellation
policy. Some Restaurants will place a cancellation fee on your
credit card if you fail to cancel the reservation within a certain
time frame.
