a question about party size

[calliest]

I was wondering if a baby (un-ticketed infant age) has to be counted in the ADR party size? For example, if my party is myself, my husband, my mother, our 3 year old daughter and 1 year old son, do i need a party of 5 reservation? or can i get a party of 4 since he just eats off of my plate anyway?

in my experience, we get a 4 top table regardless and he goes in a high chair at the end and we have an empty chair anyway.

could i do a party of 4, list the ticketed folks as the dining party and he just goes along? thanks, Dis'ers!

They need to know the total number of people.

1) yes, even "la babies" have to be counted as a dining guest.
2) Also, be aware that if the baby makes 6 people, the automatic 18% can be applied. (Up to your SERVER's discretion.)

NOTE: Frequently, there is not enough aisle-room to add a highchair, so it is not a case of them taking only a little space.
