As someone who has an opportunity to travel amongst many of the major metropolitan areas in the country, I can say the concept of making reservations at restaurants as a standard practice is standard in some cities (San Francisco, e.g.), and a completely foreign concept in others. Here in the Dallas area, about the best we have is some restaurants allow "call-ahead" seating, which gets you on their list when you call. But it is not unusual, especially on a busy night like Friday or Saturday, to have to wait 30 minutes to an hour for a table at the typical mid-level or above restaurant. But what's the problem, we all need that time to get liquored up at the bar, right?
