Normal nuance is : What time is your resevation (for)(opitional)? You seem to want to learn the natural sound of normal English but you keep writing sentences in non-standard patterns.

Let's say I was on the phone with my wife.
Wife: I called the restaurant. They had 3 slots open. 6pm , 6:30pm and 7pm.
Husband: What time did you reserve for then?
Reservation doesn't fit here.
Is "slots" the word to use?

In America, no restaurants I know of will take reservation as you described. I can't imagine a waiter rushing the customers to clear the table by 6:30 because your reserved seating is next.

Literally every restaurant I've ever been to that takes reservations has made reservations for a specific time.
To answer your question, Alex, you'd say "What time is our reservation?"
