You're Not Imagining It, Restaurants Really Do Save the Best Tables For Reservations | Bon Appétit
"A New American restaurant in Boulder maintains that no table is truly bad but reserves certain “premium” seats—more intimate, tucked-away spots farther into the dining room and away from entrance traffic—for diners who book ahead or are celebrating special occasions. Those reserved tables are intended to offer a quieter, more intimate experience while still retaining the warmth and energy of the dining room, reflecting the higher expectations of reservation-holders." - ByMaggie Hennessy
