We are going end of October for two weeks and I called late last week and got a seating for dinner on November 4th for my dh and I. We took a 7:40 (they had really early like 4:10). We're celebrating our 25th and decided to give it a go. Have never been in or eaten at the castle but sounded like a romantic fun thing to do. Give it a try...you have nothing to lose!
