Weirdly enough restaurants don't want reservations. They want long lines.
That way they create a situation where you SEE how popular a place is. A line is much easier to see than a date dropdown that is booked out for 2 months.
It's also easier to keep the restaurant full. A full reservation where not everybody shows up might cause empty tables.

A long line fixes that.
