Carol.......I'm no expert as others made our arrangements but this is my understanding. Earliest reservation is 6:00 p.m. (which was the time of our reservation). If you arrive that early, you may have to call for the shuttle. Later in the evening it runs continuously and since it is a very short trip, I would assume it shows up every 10 to 15 minutes. Something else that is good to know.......happy hour lasts until 7:00 p.m. (two for one on their signature cocktails only) but it only applies to the bar. When we got there, we were seated at our table but then went to the bar for happy hour. At 7 we paid for our drinks at the bar and then returned to our table for dinner. Hope that helps.
