Is it better to make reservation for larger parties.

Yes. Although on Valentine's day, we were seated right away at 3:30. People were waiting by 4.

Yes, it is common to be waiting for a table for a short time without reserve, but for large group, is a must to reserve, please be on time.

I suggest reservation for any large group or at busy times

Depends on the day Wouldn't be a bad idea

Yes
