yeah, to me the prime hours to reserve a table are essentially 7-8:30, with 6:30 being the early outlier and 9 being the late one. if you go too late, your end-of-meal (assuming a two-hour meal, multiple courses, wine -- a night out) can feel curtailed as the restaurant winds down, but going too early is somehow utilitarian and a bit depressing.

my habits (formed to maximize fun-ness and the conviviality of the room) are essentially those created by the montreal restaurant world, but here in copenhagen it's pretty similar.
