The Au Poivre steak sandwich stands as a testament to the elevated pub fare at The Reservoir, featuring a meticulously seared cut enveloped in a creamy, peppercorn-heavy sauce. Aromas of truffle oil and roasted garlic waft from the signature fries, which are finished with a dusting of sharp Parmesan for a rich, umami-driven profile. The kitchen employs precise techniques, such as the beer-battering of Atlantic cod to achieve a light, aerated crunch, and the slow-braising of pork for their indulgent mac and cheese. Texture is a focal point, particularly in the towering chicken biscuit, where a flaky, laminated crust meets succulent, fried poultry. Balance is found in the Reservoir Burger, where the saltiness of applewood smoked bacon is tempered by the richness of a fried egg and aged cheddar. This neighborhood haunt avoids the generic, opting instead for culinary depth that pairs seamlessly with a rotating list of craft ales and a refined urban aesthetic.
