isn't that a good thing, helps sustain the restaurant during the non busy season so you can go there then?
I don't get it gripe.

I don't think they should reserve a section for residents vs non.
This would be kind of elitist and difficult to track.
I'm just noting that a few restaurants, including O's, have successfully launched a deposit based reservation system. It works well: People who aren't serious won't reserve, but if you know you are going to show, pay the deposit.
They get my business as a result of this. If others want to do the same, I'll frequent their establishment, too.
O's, Ellacoya and Dockside all do a good job of this. Only O's requires a deposit, but that's fine with me. I can book it and know it's a lock...
