I think First Table is a great idea for early diners and/or have smaller budgets.I have dined at restaurants I would not normally choose and we have eaten some delicious food, had amazing service and it’s been an overall wonderful experience. First Table are not to blame for how the restaurant handles your booking. I have learnt some restaurants should not be attached to this programme. They are awkward and difficult about the small print, refusing to accommodate even when they is absolutely not one other diner in the restaurant at the time!!!Of all the dining experiences my family have enjoyed we have always found the system to work well. Unfortunately just recently we had an awful experience at a Greek restaurant called Aggelos in Parsons Green in London. In the end they did us a favour because we had a fabulous meal at a restaurant up the road and missed out on approx £140. Some restaurants should definitely not be part of this programme because they clearly don’t want to discount your bill and prefer to have an empty restaurant at this time of the day.Unfortunately these type of restaurants may reflect badly on FT but it won’t put me off. Thanks First Table!
