I'm not sure about weekdays. <BR/><BR/>At the time when I kept trying, it had just recently been announced as the Cheap Eats Restaurant of the Year, so hence why it was hard to get a table. I don't know if its still like that now. It is a really great place and I will be going back soon.thanh7580https://www.blogger.com/profile/12101572834580539226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835761.post-21602390509985626182007-05-31T15:33:00.000+10:002007-05-31T15:33:00.000+10:00oooo, i didn't know Horoki was so difficult to get...oooo, i didn't know Horoki was so difficult to get into and I've really been meaning to try it out.

It's also fine if you don't mind where you eat and can go to other places. But when you have a big group with something special on or you really want to eat that particular thing, showing up without a booking usually means you just get disappointed.<BR/><BR/>Why they would turn you away when they're empty baffles me. Unless they know that people are coming already who have booked and its only fair that they hold the table for them.<BR/><BR/>As for name dropping, I wouldn't have a clue. Maybe if you know the chef or something or say you work for The Age or Herald Sun hahaha.thanh7580https://www.blogger.com/profile/12101572834580539226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835761.post-44086553782912449762007-05-29T13:09:00.000+10:002007-05-29T13:09:00.000+10:00They just like to make it sound like they're busy....They just like to make it sound like they're busy. I've walked in to MoVida, Bar Lourinha, Pizza Meine Liebe and Moroccan Soup Bar and got a table without booking or name dropping. On the other hand, I've been repeatedly rejected from places that are empty and that are in my neighbourhood. <BR/><BR/>What gives?

Got the call yesterday that there's been a cancellation and we can have a crappy table at the back on Saturday night. Not telling where it is yet, but there'll be a review next week. ;-)Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.com
