This place is a gem and they have by far, some of the best food in the area. The ribs are PHENOMENAL and everything else on the menu is fantastic, but also very affordable. The ambiance is excellent as well and the staff are extremely friendly and enthusiastic.

Food was just not as good as it always is. Maybe a Sunday night chef?

We love R22. The food is delicious. Especially the Friday fish fry. Hand dipped cod. Not the frozen box stuff some places serve. We’ve been coming here for years. All their meals are fresh and delicious. The wait staff is very attentive.

Food was very fresh and tasty. My wife's order came and it was wrong. It was taken back immediately and a fresh dinner was brought out but I was done with most of my dinner by then. Her entree was taken off the bill without us complaining. The restaurant is pretty and nicely decorated but it was still Christmas even though it was January 25th. Many obvious regulars dining and we felt just a touch like outsiders. Overall, Reserve 22 will take good care of you and the food is good but we will probably not be regular visitors.
