    My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at Midtown Reserve. We went on a weeknight so we almost had the place to ourselves. It was beautiful inside, the service was wonderful, and the food was exceptional! The bar area provided a great spot to relax after the dinner and enjoy one more drink. We will definitely be back again.

    Dress code was not upheld. Seen more sneakers than I've seen at the mall. Jeans and sweats! Had my wife wearing 4 inch heels for nothing!

    Wonderful dinner. Food and service were fantastic. I'm vegan and the chef accommodated my dietary needs extremely well.

    This place is special. Food is top notch. The tables are a little close for private conversation but overall great atmosphere.

    I arrived for my reservation was greeted immediately seated; I was the only customer when I arrived. The restaurant is small but I really like the decor and intimacy. The same person who seated me was also my server for the evening. She immediately brought water and took my drink order and food order for the Brussels sprouts for an appetizer and scallops for the main with an add-on of 2 crab cakes. While ordering, 2 other tables arrived. 25 minutes later my server presented my app to one of the other couples, settingit on their table. They said it wasn't theirs. She checked the order and immediately brought it over to me saying she didn't remember which table it was for. Another 25 minutes go by and that same table is served their app AND then their mains. I was told mine was being plated. 9 minutes go by and mt scallops and crab cakes were both room temp. Not hot at all. I send them back. 10 minutes later they are back and hot. And delicious. During the meal, each of the other 5 tables were checked on regularly and had their waters refilled. I guess single ladies aren't afforded the same courtesy. At the end of the meal, a second server asked if I was done and ready for my check. No, I would like dessert and a cocktail. They took another 10 minutes for that... cocktail was good; love the ice ball because it melts slower. Cheesecake was thawed from frozen and just not good. The server offered to take it off the bill which I happily accepted and gave her my credit card. She comes back again saying that she forgot to add-on the cocktail. All in the appetizers and entrees were very good. But being ignored and served food that died in the window as a single lady while the 2-tops around me all received excellent, prompt service and hot food was frustrating. If the food would have been served promptly and hot it would have been a 5. Service for every other table was a 5, for me 1 is generous. I won't be back.

    Overall this was a very nice meal. Good selections, nice cocktails and good service. However for a steak to bring out a medium steak after ordering it rare I was a little surprised. They quickly made another and were very apologetic but messing up an 80$ steak is too much to warrant a 5 start rating. I still recommend the restaurant for a nice meal and great service.

    Thank you for making my parents 50th Anniversary so special. They are still talking about the food. As usual, everything we ordered was incredible.

    Service was great. Food was OK. We ordered Medium for our steak, but they looked more like medium rare. Server was very accommodating and sent the steak to the kitchen to cook/grill it longer. Shrimp salad was delicious and generous with the shrimp. Nice ambiance restaurant where we can actually have a conversation without loud music or loud crowds.

    Excellent upscale dining experience. The steaks were outstanding. My appetizer of duck wings and deviled eggs was out of this world. Enough for a meal in itself. Try it!
