LAT's Review of Reservoir

Axel Koester/The Los Angeles Times
The Los Angeles Times' restaurant critic, S. Irene Virbila, didn't like the food at Reservoir as much as Miguelito and I did. She also chided Reservoir for relying on a local crowd. Truth is, the menu is too expensive for several of us in this Eastside neighborhood to eat there more than once a month. So we're OK with the menu staying the same as we try a different dish on each visit. And the service, given only two months to get its bearings right, runs much more smoothly and quickly than what you get at Canelé in its third year of operation across the Los Angeles River in Atwater Village. Now that Miguelito and I have been photographed on Reservoir's patio by The Los Angeles Times, we should claim that table as our regular roost.
