        <content>What to do if the OpenTable link is missing? I put the URL there, but it seems that usually there is non changeable info in there. I'm assuming Chow has some sort of business relation with OpenTable. 

The Grill at Silverato

There is another restaurant at Silverado, The Royal Oak,  that does have the OpenTable link. Both restaurants take reservations thru OT.

      <content>Here's a record that has an incorrect Opentable link
http://www.chow.com/restaurants/4909/fentons-creamery

I thought it was highly unlikely that http://www.fentonscreamery.com/reservations.shtmlhis ice cream shop would be on cOpentable. It is one of those pre-loaded reservation links that can't be removed. 

To validate that, here's Fenton's reservation policy which has nothing to do with Opentable

BTW, do you need to know places that are missing the pre-loaded reservations links like the restaurant in the OP. Since there was no answer, I've just been adding the links as I find them. </content>

      <content>I've entered a number of records for restaurants whose web sites happen to link to OpenTable. As a convenience to Chow users, I've gone ahead and added the OpenTable link to the records, as you have.

But I don't see it as our job to monetize the site. When site employees run across records with OpenTable links that don't include the Chow referral info, they can add it themselves.</content>
