They don't do that on the Crescent.  They have never taken reservations for
dinner which is the only meal I eat on the train since I don't board till
3:10 in the afternoon.

Amtrak website

Lunch and Dinner Reservations
On long-distance trips, passengers are asked to make reservations for lunch
and dinner. Reservations are taken in 15-minute increments, which allows for
a more pleasant dining experience, assures passengers of receiving quality
service from Amtrak staff and prevents the Dining Cars from becoming
overcrowded during peak meal times.

After boarding, an Amtrak staff member will go through the train asking
passengers to select a preferred time for dining. Lunch reservations are
taken from 11:30 am - 3 pm; dinner reservations are taken from 5 pm - 9 pm.

  What I had happen though had two problems. First I was denied access to
the
  dining car, and then I find out later that the other problem is that they
  did not take reservations for the dining car like they were supposed to.

  Service Animals
  Only service animals permitted
  We allow trained service animals accompanying passengers with disabilities
  in all customer areas in our stations, trains and Amtrak Thruway
  motorcoaches.

  We permit no other animals onboard at any time.

  Note: You may be asked what task(s) your service animal performs for you.

  Control of your animal
  You must keep your service animal under control at all times. The animal
  should always be on a leash, harness or other tether, unless either the
  handler is unable because of a disability to use a harness, leash or other
  tether, or the use of a harness, leash or other tether would interfere
with
  the service animal's safe, effective performance of work or tasks, in
which
  case the service animal must be otherwise under the handler's control.

  Amtrak personnel may require you to remove your service animal from the
  premises if: (1) the animal is out of control and you do not take
effective
  action to control it (for example, a dog causes a significant disturbance
by
  barking repeatedly and uncontrollably or is not housebroken) or (2) the
  animal poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others.

  If you are asked to remove your service animal, but you would like to
remain
  on the premises and/or continue travel without the animal, you must make
  arrangements for another person or local animal control to accept custody
of
  your animal, and you may be required to continue or begin your Amtrak
travel
  at a later time or on a later date.

  Walking your animal
  If the train schedule permits, you may walk your service animal at station
  stops provided that you stay within reasonable proximity to the train and
  re-board promptly when the conductor notifies you that the train is about
to
  depart. If you plan to walk your animal during the trip, please notify the
  conductor when you first board the train.

  Amtrak employees are not responsible for the care or supervision of any
  service animal.
