It never hurts to ask; the worst is they can say "no," but if you don't ask,
you're the one who is saying "no." That would hurt!
I've had pretty good luck with OpenTable, though the number of restaurants that do OT and iDIne are dying in this (SMF) area. Still, a few are good and give out 1,000 points for Sunday brunch or earlier (6:00 PM) dines, so it adds up.
