Hey everyone, I posted another quick review of reservoir after our meal tonight.

Food, She thought: while I agree that a $15 isn't the most inviting thing, it's more reasonable than other LA restaurant, and just about right for a restaurant of this caliber. $15 a bottle is a fitting compensation for a restaurant of this scope. That said, it's easily a better option than paying $50

for some reason, as $15 corkage bothers me more than a $12 glass of wine. i think $15 is high for a neighborhood place, and if the wine is good I have no problem paying $12 a glass. I guess I am a little fed up with neighborhood restaurants serving good beer but crap wine.

HC - we've got photos now, check 'em out!

choisauce - yeah it's too bad they kept bumping into you. They should've comped us dessert for it! :) (totally kidding...)

FoodGPS: I didn't taste any aged meat in that burger, but it definitely high quality stuff. I'll try to order the cod next time and ask for the skin extra crispy, but the flesh was very well cooked.

The photos look great! It's amazing what a difference they make. Before, I wasn't so interested in trying Reservoir, but now I feel a bit more inclined. If I can get myself over to the eastside...

Good commentary on reservoir. Nice job of capturing the restaurant's strengths and weaknesses.

Overall, the meal was solid. It was especially interesting to see how two different setups paired with the skirt steak. Your polenta with English peas paired well, but the cauliflower puree didn't come together and seemed to combat the chimichurri.

Christine's burger was a definite

Nice first look, even for photo-free, of Reservoir. I can so see myself going there, then swinging to LA Mill for coffee and desserts!
