10 Previously Impossible Reservations In LA That Are Now Easy - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"How Far In Advance Should You Book? Same-day for groups of two on weekdays. A week for primetime weekend tables or larger groups. Barra Santos in Cypress Park has always been a great last-minute option, but a reservation guarantees a spot at this Portuguese spot's handsome wooden bar (a.k.a. the best seats in the house). The curbside patio is also fun and better for groups, but don’t hesitate about dropping in for a spontaneous walk-in, either. At worst, you'll have a brief wait on Barra Santos’ buzzy sidewalk with a glass of vermouth in hand." - cathy park, brant cox, sylvio martins
