Generally the first seating is for arrivals between 5:45 and 6:30 and the sxecond seating is for arrivals between 8:30 and 9:15. They tend to figure most people will be 2-1/4 to 2-1/2 hours. The only exception to this is Chef's Table, whee there is one seating at 6:00 and they figure 3-1/2 to 4 hours.
