Anyone know why they allow single person reservations for be our guest. My husband and I will be bringing our 1 year old daughter and so really we only would need a single table with a highchair. Does anyone know how easy it is to add a person to a single reservation if you call?

Wouldn't you be adding 2 ppl. to a single reservation (all ppl. count no matter the age)? Either way, you won't be able to add them if you call if the system isn't showing a reservation for 3. Having said that you may be able to add them once you get to the restaurant. We've done it before, but only adding 1 person. You'd have to go in knowing they could say no they and then either only 1 of you could go in and eat or you'd have to take the no show fee.
 
If you can book the appropriate number online, they won't have any more success adding someone to your reservation.
 

1. Every person entering the restaurant needs to be on the ADR. This include non-dining infants.

2. If you are eating at breakfast or lunch, just make sure all three of you have ADRs; you need not be on the SAME ADR. At breakfast and lunch, it is a quick service restaurant. You order at a kiosk and seat yourself; your ability to sit together is based solely on finding YOURSELVES a table.

3. If you are doing dinner, it won't be a problem for them to seat two separate reservations together if that is what you hold. But all three of you need to be on the ADR to be allowed over the bridge.

Exactly what do you have against single (solo) guests? Why should they not be allowed to book ADRs? They have as much right to dine as anyone else.

There is no such thing as a single table. There are tables that seat 2, 4, 6, or more. For your party of 3, because you need to count every person at the table, you would need a table for 4. They would rarely seat the 3 of you at a 2 top because the high chair would then have to be placed in the aisle, blocking traffic.

Availability is the same, whether online or by phone. Keep checking for an ADR for 3. Or check for an ADR for 1 that is within 10 minutes or so of your current one. You might have to call to add that extra ADR, since the computer won't allow you to hold 2 ADRs for the same time period. Or use a different name and email account (your DH?).

You need an ADR for three people since their will be three people sitting at the table, doesn't matter if one isn't eating or not.
 
You can't add a single person to a reservation. You would need to book a new reservation for the amount of people you needed (in your case 3), hopefully it is available.
If you say booked an ADR for just the two of you, you can risk it and go there and ask they add your daughter when you check in. Just be prepared for them to say no, they often do and you'd have to figure out what to do in that case.
 
The reason I asked about single reservations is this... The computer system states that there is only 1 seat available. That one person is going to need a two person table because they won't force you to sit with a group of 3 or 5 etc. So unless it's lunch time and seating is find it yourself and the only seat left is to sit with another group of people then the single person will have to sit at a table for two. So my thought was unless there is an odd number of people already booked and the maximum guest occupancy for the fire code only allows one more guest then technically the computer system should recognize that there could be 1 or 2 people at that table even though it only offers for 1 guest.

Breakfast and Lunch is 100% based solely on restaurant capacity, with no concern for table sizes or seating alone or etc. It's got a QS mentality.

Dinner is constrained by kitchen capacity. Many tables will actually be empty when the restaurant is "full" for dinner. This makes it easier to "blend" a reservation, but what reservations are there are based in part on what was released.
