    The experience was perfect with exception they did not have our reservation. I was able to show them my confirmation but they could not see it on their end. It wasn’t a problem as it was not busy and we were able to be seated right away. However it did concern me about future reservations with Open Table.

    We arrived 15 mins early. although there were only 10 tables full in the entire restaurant, the hostess asked us to wait then we were finally seated. When we arrived, I announce that we had a 530 reservation under the name of KL Robertson Daly after we were seated and eating our salad. I received a text message asking if we were on our way I had to go back up to the desk and ask her to please confirm our reservation with OpenTable please do not count us as late as we were not. It was a failure on the part of the restaurant hostess to properly check us in.
