I remember when Garretts restaurant first opened on Lime Kiln back in the Dark Ages . . . For the first couple of months they had only 4-tops in the place (plus two 6-tops). They would only take reservations for four or six, as they didn't want to seat two people at a larger table (and give up the extra money). Also, on their patio (at the Shelbyville Rd location) the tables were screwed to the floor, so if you had a party of 8 you were just out of luck! I guess there were a lot of complaints, as eventually they opened the reservations for both larger and smaller parties and got some tables that were movable.
Also, there are many restaurants in the area that only accept reservations for parties of six or more. My mind went blank for names, but we run into the problem frequently as during the pandemic if we do go out it's usually with only one other couple.
