Hi I cannot get a hold of the creator here, but I downloaded the Community Lot the Malibu swhich has a restuarant in it. My Characters love the place except they cannot utilize the restuarant. I have been to other lots it works there not on this one. All my characters are dressed everyday.formal, get told by Nancy that the tables are all reserved etc. I have been into it 5/6 times trying to see what the problem is. I put the tables right behind her in the room where the games and bar are. I also went in deleted out kitchen in cases something was missing, and reput in objects. The staff still stands around. I wish there was a checklist of everything you need to make the restuarant work etc. Im very frustrated. My sims cant go on a date there and dine on the date. Sure they can date but no dining!!!!

Make sure that the tables have enough chairs to accommodate your party. If you take a group of six out and there aren't six chairs, you will be told that the tables are reserved. Also make sure that you have the chef's stove in the kitchen, a podium and somewhere for the waiters to wash up.
