So the week comes and they are out have a blast and the free night is upon them. They decide to just go home and drink wine they had discovered that day.
Back t the house, the phone rings and it's the restaurant calling to say they have a cancelation and would the girls like the spot. They talk it out amongst themselves and decide they are all comfortable at home and let the hostess know they will pass.
About 15 minutes later the manager of the restaurant calls back to confirm that they were indeed informed that there was a spot for them..... once confirmed, the manager said that he had never had someone say no.....

I believe it. It’s so hard to get a table there. You have to call at least 2 months in advance to the day in order to get a reservation there
