We have not had that problem by planning ahead.
We called the Lions Den on Wednesday and got a 6 PM Friday reservation for four.
Four of us went to Ellacoya Tavern on Monday about 6:30 PM and we got seated within about 20 minutes, no reservation.
I know Patrick's is busy on concert nights so we avoid it then.
We order pizza to go from Giuseppi's quite often and bring it to the boat to eat. The longest time we have been quoted this summer from order to pickup was 45 minutes.
As people who live on the lake during the summer we are fortunate to be able to go out to dinner during the week when restaurants are less busy. I don't see the scheduling as that bad if you pick and choose when and where you would like to go.
I am more concerned about waiting for a dock when we go out by boat than getting into a restaurant.
