Then again.. you can walk in & they say "do you have a reservation?' I say no..only 2 of us & they act like I made a terrible mistake by not calling ahead & set a bad tone for the night.... Go figure !!!
Calling then heading over isn't a reservation, it's a warning. A day or more in advance gives a restaurant time to properly staff for the night.

Parties of 2 won't knock a night over, but several of 4, 6, 8, or more without reservations can throw everyone from the hostess to the servers to the kitchen staff out of wack while they try to deal with 10-15 parties of 2-4.
