After a previous drop off in popularity, dinner reservations are back in a big way. Many restaurants abandoned the practice throughout the 2010s in favor of walk-ins, according to the industry experts at Lavu. Prioritizing customers as they arrive reduced lost profits from no-shows and recouped opportunity costs from last-minute cancellations.

However, during the 2020 pandemic, reservations became a must, ensuring capacity and social distancing guidelines were followed. Patrons continued to demand this convenience even after restrictions were lifted. Post 1917 Lexington, which opened in the summer of 2025, has always taken reservations. The restaurant’s team notes that they accept walk-ins, but advises booking ahead, especially on busy weekend evenings.

Advancing technology has made reservations easier than ever, thanks to services like OpenTable, Resy, and SevenRooms. These sites not only let customers book tables; they show users other open times and offer virtual waitlist options. Post 1917 uses the original service – OpenTable – but also takes reservations over the phone.

Local dining experts say that reserving a table is the norm when it comes to upscale establishments. While weekday and off-peak times are safer for walk-ins, larger groups should always plan ahead, especially on weekends. As the recently-opened Lexington restaurant grows in popularity, tables are in demand from an increasing number of repeat customers.

Customers offer positive feedback for the farm-to-table steakhouse. “I would eat here every day if I could,” one patron stated. “This restaurant never disappoints.”

Post 1917’s original location, in Reading, was opened by owner and head chef Jason Carron in May 2024. The Lexington restaurant opened its doors a little more than a year later, and a third location will open in Somerville this spring.
