I don't get it gripe.
I don't think they should reserve a section for residents vs non.
This would be kind of elitist and difficult to track.

I'm just noting that a few restaurants, including O's, have successfully launched a deposit based reservation system. It works well: People who aren't serious won't reserve, but if you know you are going to show, pay the deposit.

They get my business as a result of this. If others want to do the same, I'll frequent their establishment, too.

O's, Ellacoya and Dockside all do a good job of this. Only O's requires a deposit, but that's fine with me. I can book it and know it's a lock...
