Concierge Test: Last Minute Reservations at Mr. Chow

Where: 2201 Collins Ave [map], Miami Beach, fl, United States, 33139

Every so often, we'll be putting hotel concierges to the test whether it be in making dinner reservations, finding hard-to-get tickets, planning a day of fun activities or getting our shirt dry-cleaned in time for a big meeting. First up, hard-to-get dinner reservations at the W South Beach.

When we finally checked out the W South Beach recently, we had great expectations for Mr. Chow. (Even if our wallet was trembling at the prices we noticed in early reviews of the haute Chinese restaurant.)

Since we were traveling solo we didn't make a reservation, which was just as well, because our flight got in late on the Friday night and Mr. Chow was already bustling with well-heeled folks at 8 p.m. Even if we wanted to quietly take a seat at the bar and pretend we were totally fine with eating alone in such a buzzy hotspot, there was no availability. Never mind, we thought. We'll try tomorrow.
