Verify service days and reservation policies

Check the restaurant's own site for the current week, reservation policy, patio conditions, last seating, and special-event changes. Ratings age quickly in a town where kitchens evolve and service days shift. Margaret's says no reservations; Cochineal currently accepts both reservations and walk-ins. Capri's first-party site says “Coming Soon,” so do not rely on it for a current meal.
