I phoned to make reservations. The outgoing message said to book online or text to make reservations. Because I thought it easier at the time, I texted all details for a reservation (2 people, date and time). Fairly quickly, I received a response: "Ok. Thanks." I hesitated for a moment, then replied: "Is this the confirmation?" I didn't receive a reply, which I figured was because the answer was obvious. But I kept the text, just in case there was any confusion.
Two weeks later we showed up and there was no reservation and the place was packed.
I showed them the text and they explained that: 'It happens. They get so many texts.'
What?
They did find us one table and our service and meal were fine. It was incredibly noisy so we had to shout most of our conversation. Patrons are crammed in so noise is to be expected, I suppose. But it really make conversation difficult. However, the food was good.
