OpenTable (Free)
Version 2.0.1
REVIEW-”Now you can plan dinner and confirm your reservation right from your phone.”
One of the biggest blessings of the iPhone is that I can quickly and easily make dinner reservations with just the touch of a button. OpenTable is perhaps my favorite app for that because it has access to just about all of my favorite restaurants and it has a truly easy to use interface.
OpenTable opens just like you would expect by asking you to pick a location. You can either choose to have it access your current location or you can select a location so you can make reservations even if you are nowhere near the restaurant. 
Once you figure out your location you can get a list of restaurants that are closest to the location. You can then narrow it down by type, price and cuisine. The listing is so easy that it will be mere moments before you find the perfect restaurant.
When you figure out just what restaurant you want then you can take a look at the menu, see where it is on the map and then finally press teh time that you want your reservation for.
That’s really all there is to it, no more calling restaurants on the phone and guessing at what time may work. Now you can talk with whoever you are going to dinner with and make reservations at the same time. This is perfect for anyone that is trying to make dinner reservations with multiple people.
Now no app is perfect so you might not get the menu for all of the restaurants listed and it might be good to always call and verify the reservations made. It is better to be safe than sorry after all.
