to catch wishes from cali grill - what time for my ressies?

[loriandmatt]

i know that wishes is at 8pm on the dates that i am looking for (am going to try for several dates to hopefully increase my chances of getting in). what time should i make my dinner ressies for if i would like to still be seated when wishes happens? I would ideally like a ressie for about 6:30/45, but is that too early? (would we be done and just lingering and annoying the staff who want to turn the table over?)

The first year we went our reservations were actually for 5 minutes after Wishes. We checked in early and they seated us a little early. We did not have a view of Wishes from our seats, we actually were seated in the Wine Room which was WONDERFUL. Our lovely server took our order and told us where to go onto the over look outside to get a wonderful view. When we returned he immediately served our drinks and appetizers quickly followed.

This year we have reservations 1 hour before Wishes. Which we think will be perfect timing. We are really hoping to be seated in the Wine Room again. I honestly think even if we are seated against the glass we would go outside to watch Wishes. It is wonderful being out there and having it display at your finger tips like that!

A dinner sevice is typically two hours for us at a Sig, but it can be quicker if they're trying to get you out of there, so I wouldn't go any earlier than 6:30. 7 for a small party.
