In tourist areas, many restaurants don’t take reservations. However, they are strongly suggested for dinner shows and the more exclusive restaurants. Find out if the restaurant that you plan to visit has a hot reputation. If so, you may want to call as soon as you know your plans. If you’re from out of town and you’ve heard a lot about a certain place, you’d better get your name on their reservations list quickly.
