Q. Which is better: reservation site or direct reservation?
A. Sites such as Tabelog, Gurunavi, and Ikkyu offer reward points. Direct reservations are flexible in many cases.
Q. What is the cancellation fee?
A. It varies depending on the store, but many high-end stores sell 100% the day before or 100% on the day. There are also cases where the bar is free.
Q. Can I come in without a reservation?
A. If it is a weekday lunch/early time, there is a high possibility. Reservations are recommended for weekend dinners, and popular restaurants open 1-2 months in advance.
Q. What about reservations for large groups?
A. Many restaurants have private rooms available for reservation for 10 or more people. You may be required to make a reservation 3 to 7 days in advance and specify some menu items.
Q. What is the dress code?
A. The interior of the luxury French hotel is more than "smart casual." Casual clothes are OK at the pub/casual.
