"How Far In Advance Should You Book? Day-of for weeknight reservations; at least a week out for primetime weekend slots. Kirkland’s fancy northern Italian restaurant is a great (if pricey) spot for a birthday dinner or anniversary. It’s one of those rare places you can dress up without feeling out of place, all while enjoying braised lamb or delicate homemade tagliatelle. And since you no longer have to plan such a meal months in advance, the pre-dinner focus can be on that killer outfit. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - gabe guarente
