I, F35, have a friend, F35. Let’s call her A. I’ve known A since grade school.

Her birthday is coming up and she wanted to go to a restaurant for a group dinner. I asked if she made reservations at the restaurant and she said yes. She said it was x day at x time for party size of x under her name.

For context, last year for her birthday, A planned a group dinner thing but did not make reservations. She picked a place that does not do reservations. I had recommended to her then to pick a backup. A mentioned she would and she would pick a place that does take reservations. I took her word for this. The wait at the first restaurant (the one that doesn’t do reservations) was over an hour wait. We then find out she did not make reservations at the back up restaurant. The back up was also more than an hour wait. The place we did ended up going to had a wait time of 45 mins. The time it took to drive around and call took approximately 90 minutes in total.

To make sure the past doesn’t repeat itself, I called up the restaurant to ensure the reservation were made, pretending to be her. I find out no reservations were made at all. The restaurant said they didn’t have anything under A name–not even for the week before or after. They also don’t do online reservations, so no possibility of that as well. I make the reservation to fix the situation.

A has mentioned in the group chat the reservation was made several times. This irks me as I know she did not.

WIBTA to call her out of this after the dinner? I don’t want to call it out before as it would make things awkward.
