How long in advance should/can you make resturant reservations?

Question

i know it might be different for some resturants but whats the average time you can or should make a reservation.

do they usually have limitations to how long in advance you can reserve?

more specifically for me, i want one at Earls on valentines day at lunch.

Answer 1

for a holiday as big as valentines day I do not think it is ever too early.  I would call now.  I tried to make v-day reservations once and called 3 weeks in advance and they were already booked!

Answer 2

my best advice to you is to call Earls and ask them.  They are the only ones that can tell you about their reservation bookings.

Answer 3

For holidays I would call at least 2 months ahead, especially if it is a popular restaurant. Dinner might be more popular, so lunch might not be as busy, unless they get a large lunch crowd.

Answer 4

if its a hot place to be id say about a few months before hand. but you cant go wrong with just calling the restaurant and asking them yourself.

Answer 5

about three hours after s*x
