Rules are based on what we confirm by calling the restaurants ourselves, along with official notices and booking-platform listings, and are re-checked monthly. Houses change their systems without warning; treat the calendar as a planning tool. For restaurants in our collection, our desk confirms the specifics for your dates when you request.
