Also, remember that this is a PS, not a reservation as in a typical restaurant. Depending on how busy it is when you go, you could still end up waiting another 15-30 minutes before getting seated. What the PS does is mean you'll get the next available table, after all the other people with prior PS's to you that have checked in get their tables. So... if you can't get the later PS, another option might be to just show up a few minutes later (NO later than 10 though b/c you don't wan to risk losing your PS altogether... claim you lost your bearings getting there)... then assuming you have at least another 10-15 minute wait to get seated and if I remember correctly, Mama Melrose's is table service (not buffet, right) -- so by now it's got to be almost 5 p.m. -- You leisurely order your drinks and maybe appetizers... if it's busy, it may take longer for the food to come out... well, it could easily be 5:45 before you get served your food. I know this may seem a bit early to you too, but it's really just a thought.
