Not sure. Agreed that you can for big parties. We've done that in the past.
We were there in May, we were seated right away
We walked in without one and with kids and they seated us fast
Not always. We were there in June and we had to wait. It was pretty crowded. I would call at least and check.
I'm sure it's like most nice restaurants. If you are going to have a big party you probably should call ahead, but when I was there. There simply was no need for a reservation.
