I've never had a problem getting seated without a reservation. I've never had a problem getting through by phone either so I don't know what the issue is.
No not for lunch. But it would be helpful to give them a heads up when you have a group.
Not necessary.
Call any day after 11 a.m. someone should answer the phone and no I've been there at least 10 times never had a reservation
I don't think you do
They suffered damage from the fire, might not be open
You should get a reservation. Don't know why they are not answering the phone.
