"So so glad to see a favorite of ours reopen after months of being closed for updates. We fell in love with The Reserve every bit as much as we did with Umami. Some familiar favorites hearken back to the previous concept but many dishes are new. All areserved as small plates which makes sharing easy and trying a lot of different things expected. As a couple, we were more thansatisfied with 6 plates, seems like a lot but trust me, it’s the right amount for hungry eaters. We tried the mushrooms,smashed potatoes, brussel sprouts, sashimi, hanger steak, and salmon and all were excellent. Standouts were the smashedpotatoes, sashimi, and the hanger steak. As far as ambiance goes, I can’t say enough. The romantic vibe is retained if notamplified this time around, by chill music, low lights, and the vibe of New York restaurant, tucked away to be discovered by thelucky few. The aesthetic design is lovely with a more earthy and rustic chic feel, upscale and authentic. It really does feel asthose you’re stepping into a self-contained world. Service was excellent as always. There is a warmth that emanates from theplace. Almost indescribable. With all the wonderful new restaurants cropping up in Chagrin Falls, The Reserve represents awholly unique experience. It’s intimate. It’s unlike any other restaurant in town. It’s an experience meant to becherished. It’s a must-go."
