I made a reservation at a nice restaurant for my anniversary. Our reservation was for 8:30 p.m. but the hostess said they were running a little behind. After 20 minutes of waiting, a couple walked in behind us and asked for a table. They didn’t have reservations and the hostess said they were looking at a 45-minute wait. The couple stood behind us discussing options, then five minutes later the hostess said our table was ready. The woman pointed out that she was seven months pregnant and would really appreciate if she could sit before us. I said no because we had a reservation and they did not, then suggested two places across the street that always have seats available. The couple was visibly annoyed and said something under their breath.

Did I do the right thing here? I know to give up seats on buses, spots in a bathroom line, aisle seats on airplanes, etc. for those expecting, but am I really expected to yield my dinner reservation to a pregnant woman when there are options across the street?

I know toはあまりみない形なのですが、toはどのような意味でしょいうか？文法的解説をよろしくお願いします

　I know the house のように、I know 目的語、の目的語の場所にtoのついた不定詞がついているだけで、〇〇するのはX　だと知っている、だと思います。

know to とひとかたまりにしないで、I know (～を知っている、承知している）に、to give up ～　(～をゆずるべきこと）と考えるべきでしょう。

この場合to do がto 不定詞の名詞用法でknowの目的語になっています。

「バスの座席やトイレの行列、飛行機の通路側の席などを妊娠している（expecting)人たちにゆずるべき事は理解しています、」
