It will be up to the discretion of your server. we had it refunded to us on a gift card once when we showed up one party short. But that's not necessarily standard policy.
1) If you know you'll have one less, try to call ahead and see what they can do to adjust and refund.
2) If that doesn't work, ask your server nicely and see what they can do. I'd be surprised if someone doesn't help.
Yes. But,if you call to make the ADR, I’m pretty sure they can take gift cards on the phone.Can you change the method of payment when you check in? We want to use our gift cards but that wasn’t an option on the website.
