“What a great spot located on Montrose Avenue, not far from Montrose Harbor.”
What a great spot located on Montrose Avenue, not far from Montrose Harbor. Cozy, comfy and super cute. I attended a fundraiser at this venue and I had a great time! Adorably decorated for Halloween 🎃 2023. The fundraiser included a snack buffet, and everything was so tasty. I definitely look forward to coming back for lunch or dinner. Friendly staff. Update Summer 2025: I have been there a few times and find this place, so charming and cozy. Tasty food.

“Absolutely love this place.”
Absolutely love this place! A hidden gem for fantastic brunch and service. I usually get the chicken biscuit. It’s huge! And the Bloody Mary comes with a beer back. Run don’t walk!

“I don't know why it's taken so long for me to brag on Resevoir but I'm grateful they're in my neighborhood.”
I don't know why it's taken so long for me to brag on Resevoir but I'm grateful they're in my neighborhood. The food is always great, the staff interacts like it's a small town, like they know everyone already. I come here most often for brunch, the bloody Mary is great and they always have a great rotating option for a beer back. Their cocktails are also on point every time.
