I wanted to place a reservation at Alinea this summer for a party of five - only to be left baffled with the fact that they don't accept odd number reservations at all. The so-called explanation for this (besides the fact that they *can*, without any prospect of losing too much business) is that you don't reserve a number of seats, you reserve a table. A table designated for 2, 4 or 6 people.
After looking into Grace, 42 grams and Acadia, a reservation was placed at the latter. Can't wait ^
