Visiting Food for Thought in Williamsburg, VA, and eager to enjoy our popular dishes? We understand your time is valuable, and waiting for a table isn’t ideal. While we don’t offer traditional reservations, we do have a Priority Waitlist Seating system designed to minimize your wait time and get you seated faster.
Understanding Priority Waitlist Seating at Food for Thought
Priority Seating is not a reservation, but it gives you a significant advantage. By joining our priority waitlist, you’ll be ahead of walk-in guests who arrive around the same time. Think of it as a virtual queue jump! It doesn’t guarantee immediate seating upon arrival, especially during peak hours, but it greatly improves your chances of being seated sooner.
How to Get on the Priority Waitlist
Adding your name to our priority waitlist is simple. Just give us a call at 757-645-4665. Our friendly staff will take your details and add you to the list.
Important Information for Priority Seating:
- Mobile Number is Key: Please provide the mobile number you’ll have with you on the day. This allows us to send you text updates when your table is almost ready or if there are any delays. Our waiting area is cozy, and we may not be able to accommodate large groups comfortably. Feel free to relax in your car or enjoy a drink at our bar while you wait for our text.
- Book Ahead (But Not Too Far!): You can add your name to the priority waitlist up to two weeks in advance. However, please call no later than one hour before you plan to arrive.
- Timely Arrival: We aim to seat you as promptly as possible. Table availability can depend on how long previous guests dine and the accuracy of estimated arrival times. Arriving more than 15 minutes late may unfortunately mean losing your priority seating status.
- Full Party Present: We require your entire group to be present when your table is ready. If part of your party is missing, we may have to release your table.
- Changes to Party Size: Need to adjust the number of people in your group? Please let us know at least one hour before your priority seating time. We’ll do our best to accommodate changes, but adding extra guests last minute might not always be possible due to limited seating.
- Special Requests: We will always try our best to fulfill special requests. However, please understand that we cannot guarantee specific table locations.
