coming early for ps

[barb3779]

Can you arrive early for a ps and possibly be seated? Or do they always make you wait until the actual time your ps is for?

We have came early many times..if they have room, they will definately seat you early.

I've shown up early to alot of my PS and rarely did I have to wait long.

Depends when you go. If it's crowded, you'll probably have to wait. If it's not busy, they're usually good about seating you as soon as possible.

We have done this often and only one time had to wait until our PS time.
I apologize for being early, and the response has always been they rather have us arrive early than late.

We arrived 15 mins early for a 6:30PS time at H&V, not really planning on being seated earlier but decided since there wasn't a line, we just might get lucky. After waiting 10mins for the hostesses (3 of em!) to chat-it-up with 2 guys in front of us who didn't have PS's, they gave us a seating time of 6:40-6:50. Imagine my dismay when the 2 guys were seated at 6:30!
Luckily we only had to wait till 6:35 but upon entering the restaurant, I noticed most of the tables were set for 4.. the size of our party. And those gents were seated at a table for 4.
I asked to speak with the Mgr and she explained that basically it is first-come/first-served even with PS's. Since we had PS's, if we had been written down first then we would've been seated first. I kindly explained that that wasn't possible because the hostesses were too busy to acknowledge any of the line beyond the 2 gents. She then apologized and said she would be speaking with them

My DW and I are early for everything -- well, almost everything. We often get seated right away ... especially if we have that "we're so hungry we could eat a ________" look in our eyes!
