As locals, how many or you are frustrated that you can’t plan a dinner out on the lake? I understand that many tourists don’t show up for reservations, but locals do. I’ve been frustrated more than a few times this summer.
It seems we get the short end of the stick during vacation season, but we are the ones the restaurants depend on early and late in the season and in the off-season.

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.
