Booking Frustration
Tonight is the perfect example of the ridiculousness of trying to book tables in the "off season" here! Though the restaurant opens at 5 pm, noone wants to dine, essentially, until 7:30 and 8 pm...So all of our lovely staff will be ready and waiting at 5 pm, stand around until 7 when a few folks will deign to come in early, and then start running like crazy! You're between a rock and a hard place to try to negotiate folks to come earlier this time of year. In the busy season we try to assert ourselves a bit more, because if someone doesn't agree to come at a particular time, someone else will call to take the table. This time of year it's not obvious...we don't want to make people feel unwelcome or risk them deciding to go somewhere else at the time they want to dine. What can you do? Take them all and hope that their service isn't too terrible....so frustrating!!
