reservation
Advance table claim
A reservation is an arrangement to secure something in advance, such as a table at a restaurant or a seat on a plane.
The word also names land set aside for a specific purpose, most notably the territories designated for Native American tribes in the United States.
When you have reservations about something, you harbor doubts or hesitations: I have some reservations about this plan.
This sense suggests holding back part of your approval or commitment.
