ADR's Window

[djb254]

I currently have a 6:00 ADR at Rose and Crown. If the day of we show up at 1:00 and there is an opening are they flexible? What is the window of before or after the ADR before being charged as a no show?

They usually give you 10-15 minute grace period afterward. I don't think you could show up five hours early, but I have arrived 30 minutes early before with the knowledge I may have to wait until my ADR, and was seated early. But that's based on availability.

The restaurant is expecting you at 6:00 so if you don't show up at that time it is very likely that you will be charged the no show fee. Dining at 1:00 that would not be considered fulfilling the 6:00 reservation.

You would be considered a walk up at 1:00 and they might seat you if there is availability, but there is no guarantee. If you want to eat at 1:00, you need to keep checking online for a reservation for that time and cancel the dinner reservation.

If you are there at 1pm, you can actually get on the app and modify your existing 6:00 reservation to 1:00 (if that time is available). Then you would have an ADR for the earlier time, AND you would be fulfilling your ADR obligation, thus no fees. I've done this many times when we end up somewhere earlier than planned.
