Surely they can come up with something, even a deposit based reservation system? (O restaurant does this. It works.)
For those of us that plan, It is frustrating to walk to seven different restaurants and find out that each of them has a two hour wait. This is 100% avoidable with simple scheduling tools. Let those who don’t plan wait for a table..
I’ve just about given up on Wolfetrap and others. For the few that do accept reservations: Thank you! You’ll get my business year round.

It was crazy busy this weekend and they are short on help so someone is going to be disappointed with the outcome.
I was by myself last night just looking for a seat at a bar. I went to 5 places and there were no seats available. I finally went back to the first place, The Mug, and waited for someone to leave. It was worth the wait!
Quite a few places closed for the Labor Day weekend due to lack of help and over worked regular staff.
