Brilliant, I will, thanks for the info. Out of interest do you know whether I would be more or less likely to get a reservation if I just ask for any time on any date for any amount of people? Do they prefer you to be more specific?

I'm pretty sure I could get enough of my foodie friends together for any size table at any time in 2008.

My advice would be to ask for a preferred range of dates, but if you are that flexible that you would accept any time, indicate so. As for numbers, unless you have a specific group, I would suggest 2-6 people. Most of all indicate your flexibility. Of course, given the number of reservation requests they receive that is still no guarantee, but I imagine would increase the odds in your favor. If a specific date has particularly special significance, indicate that as well. Luis Garcia has a very difficult job, but I don't think that there is anyone in the world who can handle it with as much aplomb and grace as he does.
