DEL.ICIO.USHow Do You Make Reservations?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Making reservations is a complete nightmare for me — I can’t use my work phone or email address (for opentable.com) and many restaurants have kept my cell number on file, even though my ID is blocked.
What about you? Do you prefer to make reservations online using opentable.com or grabatable.com? Or do you book a table the old-fashioned way by phone?
Most important — do you find that the reservation is honored? Or do you still have to wait?

Wow - two days late and I’m still first!
I use opentable.com if available. I’ve never had issues with it at all and the rezzies have always been honored. It’s just too easy to use NOT to use it.
If I can’t get a table, and I know someone who works there or who can hold some sway with the host/ess, I’ll call or have them call. But really I’ve always been able to procure a rezzie when I wanted one.

I have never had a problem with reservations. I travel frequently and never have had to wait. Do you always eat alone? Possibly have your sig. other call them in.
