Hello! If I book a ressie for 8 and show up with only 6 (if a couple bags out at the last minute) I won't get charged anything will I? I wouldn't think so, but thought I would ask. Also, what if my ressie is for 8 and I show up with 9 and tell them we don't mind squeezing together, I assume that would be ok as well? Thanks for any help!
 
You will not be charged as long as the ADR is honored by some in your party.

For you other question, it might be an issue. To go from 8 to 9 you need a bigger table, you can't just squeeze another person in. I would try to change it either online it by calling. If not you can try if but you would probably have to wait longer until a table big enough for your party is available.
 
Agree with ses1230. As long as at least one person shows up for the reservation you will not be charged for the missing couple.

On the other hand, showing up with an extra person can be a problem. It's not a matter of squeezing in one more person at the table, but fire code regulations. While CMs will do their best to accommodate extra people, there's the outside chance that the restaurant is at capacity and won't be able to seat any extras. Also, we were at a DW restaurant that was running behind schedule so they turned away walk ups, latecomers and anyone not included in a reservation.

If you are expecting additional people you can check online multiple times a day for a reservation for the correct party size. You could also look for a reservation at the same time for the additional diners and when you check in ask if you can be seated together or near each other. Again, there's no guarantee, but at least everyone will be assured of a seat in the restaurant. You can also subscribe to the cancellation thread for your month that is on this Dining Reservations board.
