The Reservoir Chicago Reviews

Decided to try this place out to celebrate my fiance and I both being fully vaccinated. The first time we've dined out in a very long time, so we were very excited. The place was a little more crowded than it probably should be with proper social distancing, but they had the plastic dividers up between tables, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. There is a decent beer list, and my fiance enjoyed her cocktail. Appetizers were excellent, and service was attentive and friendly. But why only 3 stars? The entrees just fell completely flat. The lamb burger (ordered med-rare) was well done, dry, and bland. Fish and chips looked great on the plate, with perfect crunch on the fish batter, but the flavor was non-existent. The most flavorful thing on either plate was the ketchup for the fries. We'll give the place another shot in the future, but we left pretty disappointed as first timers.

It's a good local place. Menu is not that creative but a good mix of staple bar food. Servers are great and friendly. Not the best hipster grub I've had

Great place! Today I ordered burger for the first time for pickup. And served me Terrie. She was amazing! Helped me with my order (explained with great patience). Lovely restaurant, lovely young lady Terrie! By the way burger is great. Definitely recommend

Very impressed by the lamb burger! Much like a gyro but in patty form. They offer half priced bottles of wine during happy hour which is arguably cheaper than picking it up in the store.

Ordered a burger for pick-up on their burger night. They're usually pretty good but this was not the case this time. I ordered it medium well but when I bit into it it was almost completely raw.

An amazing atmosphere with extremely friendly staff. The food was spectacular and cooked to perfection. Me and my significant other were seated at the bar and our server/bartender Jared was very friendly, helpful and considerate, he took care of everything we needed. Absolutely a pleasure to dine at this location and will be going again!

The place is very good! The view outside is better. You need eat the burger is amazing but you need order them with salad the fried is not good, i don t recomend. The service is excellent. I back definitely.

It's a great place for dinner and drinks. Patio is open in summer. Keep up the good job guys!

Great food and amazing staff! A good buddy always meets me here and we have the best brunches. They have taken great measures during COVID to keep their guests and staff healthy. If you're thinking about trying The Res, DO IT!!!

A nice neighborhood place. Good service and good food! The calamari and wings were great! I've been here before and I'll go back. The lamb burger is the bomb! With a capital Y for YUMMY!
