I went to a restaurant that had call ahead seating. I called ahead and was put on the wait list. We arrived 10 minutes later as directed. However, we still have to wait over 45 minutes for our table.
A restaurant that I wanted to eat at had "call ahead seating" where you can call and get placed on a waiting list. I called ahead and was told we would have a table in 10 minutes. When we arrived 10 minutes later, our table was not ready!

That is so annoying. They should not call it that if they can't guarantee 10 minutes.

That's what I told the hostess. There was no point in calling ahead if we still have to wait 45 minutes for a table.

Hopefully the food was at least worth the wait. I would have been annoyed as well.

The food made it worth the wait, for sure! Any other restaurant I would have walked out!
