   Amazing food, limited cocktail list and two servers covering our table of 4 that seemed to not work together such as taking drink orders.

   Beautiful restaurant definitely an upscale experience could be had. Price certainly is on the upper end. Service was ok or ...meh. Ordered NYStrip and wife fillet. Strip was ordered MR and when it came it was MW. Wife's fillet was fine. Second steak brought out was charred on outside with a cold center. Finished meal and took steak home and cooked it properly. Rest of food and sides were very good. No offer to discount steak from manager who brought second one I didn't ask for one either. Expect more for a $70 al a carte steak.

   The service and food were very disappointing relative to the cost. We dined at the Reserve desiring a higher end dinner. In addition to drinks and an appetizer, we ordered two steaks, both medium, with side dishes served separately. The steaks were cooked very differently with one being close to medium and the other well done. We had multiple servers (as would be expected at a restaurant like this) yet it took a long time to even get someone’s attention to the issue. The staff agreed it was over-cooked. The issue we had was that by the time a new steak was served, all the other food was cold (mostly the side dishes). Others at the table tried to be polite and wait to eat or ate slow so ultimately everyone ended up with cold food. It would have been convenient if they requested the temperature was checked when the steaks were delivered rather just setting them down and basically running away. Another option would have been they could have offered to heat up the side dishes. There are many other nice restaurants in the area with great food and service that I would recommend going to before the Reserve.

   First time there to celebrate our Anniversary. We knew it was expensive and therefore expected to be Wow'ed, but unfortunately overall we were disappointed. Caesar salad and Potato Romanoff were excellent. Filet's were good, but nothing better than most other steakhouses, and for the cost of $65/a piece I just expected more. And very disappointed that they come with no dipping sauces (those all cost extra) Bread basket appetizer was poor. 6 pieces of bread that were hard and very little butter with them. I would have asked for more butter but I knew I would be charged for it, and on principle I couldn't do it. So the final cost was $199 and although the meal was fine for that price it was very disappointing.

   The prices are quite high, but we expected that. The servers were great. On top of things but not on top of us. The young man serving water obviously kept an eye on his tables because just as the water was running low, bam! He’s right there filling you back up. The young woman bringing the food out was knowledgeable about the menu and her service was good as was her attitude. And the food! Ah, the star of the show. There were 6 of us in our party and we all had excellent meals. The lobster tails were far bigger than expected for an add on and they were delicious. The steaks outstanding. And so was the seafood. Not one of our party was disappointed with our meal. We aren’t diners who are fussy, but we do eat out often and well and we appreciate ambience, good food and service. The Reserve has it all. Will definitely be returning.

   The whole experience was wonderful! The food was delicious and the service was great! The only “complaint” I have was the entertainment. The artist was good but was WAY too loud and his song selection could have been better suited for this type of restaurant. That being said, this was the first time that we have dined here while they had entertainment (it was NYE).

   Sweet card and complementary champagne for our anniversary. Sunday night, the restaurant was empty, yet service was slow and unfortunately it’s the second time we’ve been here where our filets are not cooked properly.

    First time here, the food was out of this world! Service was outstanding! Food was overpriced in my opinion but some of the small plates were shareable enough to feed 2-3 people. NOTE: Best Caesar salad I’ve ever had in my life is here
