Question Reservations

I have a list of new restaurants I want to try this year. Are any of the below restaurants places I would need to make advanced reservations for or can I make the reservations when I get there? I’ll be there the last 2 weeks of October.

Chef’s Table
Amadeus
B55
Marina Pirata
Cooks
Pinchos
Barefoot

I would add Marina Pirata. Naturally you want a table on the dock next to the water? Also a table at sunset?

There are a limited number of these tables. We called about two weeks ahead to reserve.

When we arrived they had our table sitting waiting for us. It was the only empty table on the dock or anywhere else.

I for one always give brownie points to a restaurant that REALLY DOES have a table waiting for you that you reserved ahead of time, instead of the often heard, "we are waiting for the previous party to finish up".

Yes, a table next to the water at sunset is exactly what I'm looking for. That's one of the things that is so enticing about this restaurant. And from what I’ve read kids are welcome which is always a plus for me. The picture you attached is beautiful. I can’t wait…and the waiting is making me crazy!!! It’s been 2 years, way too long to wait but worth it!

Thanks for your help!

It IS a great place for kids! They will love seeing the fish come up to the top of the water to eat. After dark the water is lit which attracts the fish as well. We try to guess what kind of fish they are.
