What about a restaurant that requires a reservation to dine? You can’t just walk in, take a seat and order up the special. If they don’t extend a reservation, they are in fact barring you from the property.

Not quite. The restaurant is open to the public. Any member of the public can make a reservation.

A reservation is asked for. It may or may not be granted. Hip nightclubs are famous for this. If you showed up to Studio 54 wearing keds, hornrims and a pocket protector you didn't get past the fuzzy rope.
