history: I went to a restaurant that had call ahead seating. I called ahead and was put on the wait list. We arrived 10 minutes later as directed. However, we still have to wait over 45 minutes for our table. A restaurant that I wanted to eat at had "call ahead seating" where you can call and get placed on a waiting list. I called ahead and was told we would have a table in 10 minutes. When we arrived 10 minutes later_comma_ our table was not ready! That is so annoying. They should not call it that if they can't guarantee 10 minutes. That's what I told the hostess. There was no point in calling ahead if we still have to wait 45 minutes for a table.
current: Hopefully the food was at least worth the wait. I would have been annoyed as well.
next: The food made it worth the wait, for sure! Any other restaurant I would have walked out!
