So if they said there are empty tables and by the time you showed up, a line had formed - would you be okay with that?
If they said there was a line, and you decided not to come, and the line had cleared up by the time you _would_ have come, should they be okay knowing that they cost themselves a customer in you that night?

On the other hand, if you had just asked if you could reserve a table, they could have told you "we don't accept reservations and there's a line around 20 minutes deep" or "there's no wait time, just come on in."
