542217 Fri Jul 25 06:53:28 -0700 2008 6 7 Chicago Area 0 3900321 I will be coming to Chicago for a wedding Labor day weekend and have one dinner Thursday night in Chicago and was thinking of Frontera Grill. There are only 3 of us so I guess we cannot get reservations. Any tips on when to go or how long we will have to wait? Fri Jul 25 06:53:29 -0700 2008 110819 bakerboyz 1 3900331 Call that day as soon as they open and you can make a reservation. I have done that for a party of two and three. Also, you can try sitting at the bar area. Fri Jul 25 06:56:20 -0700 2008 3900321 14209 lbs 2 3900540 Thanks, I thought that I read that they only take reservations for 5 or more? Fri Jul 25 07:59:04 -0700 2008 3900331 110819 bakerboyz 3 3900724 For advance reservations, 5+. For same day, call at around 8am/9am and you can make resverations for 2 or 3. Or get there as soon as the place opens and take your chances Fri Jul 25 08:47:23 -0700 2008 3900540 14209 lbs 4 3900893 Thanks again, good to know!

There's a number of posts on this board which mention this fact - they always overestimate how long you'll wait. Once I was told 2 hours and we were seated in an hour. Service in the bar is very good, so as lbs says, you can also have dinner there. Fri Jul 25 10:03:57 -0700 2008 3900321 14293 mike_d 2 3901791 My experiences have been the same as Mike D. I put my name in both times, went over to Fado and had a beer, and when we got back, tables were ready. They said 90 minutes both times, but it was more like 30 or so, and this was on Friday nights.
