    What a fun and unique dining experience. Everything was perfect from the ambience on the outdoor patio, incredible service, amazing and creative food, to the personalized menu for my husband’s 40th birthday. We did expect the food portions to be smaller and we left stuffed, so may want to skip lunch before you go. Worth every penny for a special occasion!

    Foodies…true foodies, welcome to paradise, a dining experience unlike anything else! We’ve been to Cafe Monarch several, the original across the street, which is truly off the charts. The owners’ newer concept “Reserve” is such a unique and truly one-of-a-kind dining experience. Hard to find the words! These two restaurants are Top 20 in the nation! I encourage you to find a special occasion and book dinner at Reserve. You’ll be so glad you did.

    I was really hoping to give this 5stars but I just cannot. I'm not saying don't try this restaurant - the food was decent, the staff was excellent, and the courtyard was beautiful.... But I was disappointed. This was my second time at Reserve- sister to Cafe Monarch. We went for Valentine's Day and it was just not worth it. The flavor just was not there overall. Lamb had zero seasoning, the caviar was drenched in cream, and the wagyu - although perfectly cooked was lacking salt and served with a short rib drenched in overpowering gravy that ran into the Wagyu. This was $395 per person..... I had no complaints to my boyfriend that paid for it but I just don't think I will recommend this restaurant again. I really expected to be wowed like I have been in the past at Cafe Monarch- it just was not there. My feedback to the reserve last time was to not serve the Wagyu in sauce and it is the same this time. If the dishes are going to be under seasoned - then provide salts on the table.... And the caviar... why so much cream?

    It was definitely one of the best experiences when it came to fine dining, the staff and chefs have it down to a T , they were all very attentive and provided great conversation to roll with as well. Definitely would come back.

    We enjoyed celebrating a special occasion in Reserve's intimate and pleasant indoor space. The various courses presented were innovative, creatively presented, and delicious. The service was professional, pleasant and unobtrusive. We definitely plan to return.
