Adding one to ADR...

[Jerzetta]

My sister just informed me she is highly considering joining us for our Oct trip. I mentioned to her I need to know ASAP for reservations. I would néed to add her to CRT, chef mickeys, Hollywood and vine, and a few others. CRT is the one i am most worried. With her joining we would now need table of 5 instead of 4. Is this going to be an issue with upping one person?

You should try to change the ADR to 5 people. It's not always easy to accommodate an extra person last minute. I've even heard of restaurants turning the extra person away.

As the pp said, it's better to try and change it now rather than last minute. The problem with your situation is you're going from a 4 top to a 6 top, which might not be easy. With that said, it's not impossible since you're not going until October, so there's still time. I would check online and/or call every day multiple times a day to try and add her. People do cancel all the time and you never know when something might become available. If you don't have any luck adding her before you leave, you can try showing up at the restaurant with 5 people, but be prepared that they may not be able to accommodate you and as the pp mentioned, the extra person could be turned away. Good luck .
