Remarkable reason you can’t book restaurant? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

notable

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'remarkable' is the definition.
(I know that remarkable can be written as notable)

'reason you can't book restaurant?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'book' could be 'ot' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'ot' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for notable that I've seen before include "Striking" , "Worthy of remark" , "Impressive" , "Outstanding" , "VIP" .)
