"Keith McNally, the owner of Balthazar, which often does 1500 covers on a weekend night, continues to keep a reservation book. While the process of writing hundreds of names in the book is time-consuming, McNally says it’s worth it, arguing that losing a little efficiency to make things more personable is worthwhile." - Andrea Strong
