When we arrived for our 5pm reservation on Valentines Day, the CROWD waiting to be seated extended out the door! We gave our name to the Host and and showed them our Open Table confirmation and she said, “we have your table ready for you”. We were immediately seated. When we left the restaurant 90 minutes later, the waiting crowd still extended out the door. Everyone in my party was so impressed with Open Table that they all downloaded the app and agreed OT is the only way to go! Thank you!
