A hidden gem! Went there for the first time for dinner after kind of stumbling across this place. Does not look like much from the outside--inside is a big, beautiful space, a very old bar and building, beautiful brick walls and hardwood floors, high ceiling, great old bar ambience. There's a very cozy main bar room that opens into a larger dining room that can accommodate larger groups. Laid back, friendly corner-bar atmosphere, unpretentious, and not loud so you can have a conversation. Service was amazing, friendly, considerate, food was really wonderful and pricing is great. We had the jambalaya (great corn bread!), and the cajun pasta. Bar prices are also very good. Best Virgin Bloody Mary I ever had. :)

New experience. Random choice for dinner. A bar situation. Great choice of craft brews. Bartender, Zach was extremely personable and very helpful with the extensive menu. My son and I both opted for the creole dishes. Gumbo and red beans and rice with honey buttered corn bread. Both were excellent. Great overall experience. Highly recommend.

Just found this place since moving down the street and so far it’s been a little hidden gem for us. Burgers are great, pasta was surprisingly really good too. Cocktails are okay, they are very cheap which is nice! Yet to try the pizza but will be doing so soon. Our server tonight was really nice and accommodating. Seems like this place has a lot of regulars that chat with the bartenders which I think is entertaining but might not be everyone’s cup of tea. Looking forward to trying to pool table and stuff they have in the back eventually when I bring a group of friends here with me. I just wish the inside had a cooler vibe but I’ve really been enjoying it here so far!

I tried the muffuletta sandwich here and was quite happy with it. Admittedly I’ve had better versions of sandwich before, but I was pleased with this one and it wasn’t too filling. It was packed with flavor. The menu has a lot of good sounding items that I’d like to try sometime, and I’m a sucker for Louisiana creole food. The interior was warm and inviting, and the staff was reasonably friendly. I was happy with my experience.

My sister and I just hosted our mom’s retirement party at Rezervoir, and we can’t say enough great things! Madison and his staff were incredibly easy to work with—responsive, accommodating, and on top of every detail, making the planning process seamless. They reserved the stage and main dining room for our guests, giving us plenty of space to celebrate. We offered a variety of their appetizers (highly recommend the spinach dip), and everything was delicious. The pricing was reasonable, and so many of our guests complimented not only the food but also the space.

My wife and I absolutely love the Rez! I love the super low-key atmosphere, and the food and drinks are amazing. They have some of the best pizza in town, and honestly all the food we've tried has been great. The cocktails are also consistently delicious, and priced quite fairly. Overall, this has become one of our favorite spots in GR, and one we find ourselves at regularly.

I love coming to the Rez. Staff is always welcoming. The vibe is very cozy and rustic. Food is delicious and yeah maybe it's a little pricey. Worth it. The chorizo dip is so yummy with a little spice. Anytime I've gotten it with friends, they rave about the chips. Awesome selection of drinks which they have displayed largely on the wall as well as a paper menu. They have euchre and trivia nights. This is a place you can host events as well. I've come here for birthdays and celebrating and it's the perfect place.
