Honestly? The last time I've eaten anywhere that required
a reservation was 25 years ago. The food was great, but
no means packed nor people waiting outside or at the bar
for a table.
For me, a reasonable amount of time is 30 minutes or less.
A restaurant that can't seat me in a reasonable amount of
time, I just go somewhere else.

We have on special occasions. One thing I've done a couple of times was to make special arrangements ahead of time. It was always on a slow night and always arranged with the owner/chef.I'd call or stop in and tell them what I wanted. We'll order a drink, then I want dinner for two, three courses, an appropriate wine. Do not bring a menu to the table.That's it. The chef decides what we will be eating! The chef liked it because he was free to make things other than another serving of #4 on the menu. If that is what he make it would have a twist of some sort to his preference.Not something to do on a busy Saturday night, but on a half empty Tuesday, the staff seemed to enjoy it too.
