Going from Ressies for 4 to 5?

[labdogs42]

Have you ever shown up with more people in your party than your ADR's were made for? I have lots of reservations for parties of four for my Free Dining Trip. Now, some days we will be a party of five (my aunt decided to join us for a few days). Should I make all new reservations or just ask them to add one to our table when we arrive for our ADR? Anyone have experience with this? Thanks!

We had that situation last spring, and they accomodated us just fine. When I called to add her they wanted to cancel the res entirely and rebook which wasn't going to work. We only did it that way because someone got added at the last minute. We didn't plan it that way.

1) Flip a coin.
2) If there is room, then they might accommodate you.
3) If the eatery is busy, they do not have to accommodate you.
4) The odds are probably 60-40 in favor.

Considering at this point, the odds of getting ANY TS ressies that week is probably slim to none, I'll probably just end up taking my chances. I can live with CS if they turn me away!

I have always wondered that...my brother lives in FL and pulls that on me all the time. I ask and tell him I am making ressies and then at the last min he says I am coming and then I have to rebook everything, I have finally gotten smart and started just booking for 4 because they always end up coming...
