dinner reservation

Secured dining slot

A dinner reservation is an arrangement made in advance to secure a table at a restaurant for a specific time: We have a dinner reservation at 7:30.

Making reservations is standard practice at upscale or popular restaurants, where showing up without one may mean a long wait or being turned away.

To have reservations without the dinner means to have doubts.
