To start off with we sat 25 minutes without anyone coming to take our order. All the tables around us were being waited on. The table next to us, that sat down after we did got waited on before us. We were totally ignored. There was a nice waiter Sam, who was waiting on a table next to us and we asked him if he could help us. He said he was not our waiter and he knew who our waiter was, but he was happy to help us and he took our order and his service was wonderful after that. All I can say is Sam saved the night because the food was just OK. my sister ordered the special with flank steak, which was very chewy but very tasty. Our fish tacos were nothing special. Of course the nachos were always wonderful. I know they had a couple big parties going on, so I’m sure that had something to do with our service in the beginning. That did happen to us one other time when a wedding was going on. We will know now for the future and I recommend it, that you call ahead of time and ask if there are any big parties going on because that will affect your service. Yes for the ambience, there were no big tropical plants this year.

We are regulars at Reserve 22 and I have to say that we were disappointed. It was a very slow night in the restaurant, yet after we received our water and Drinks, we waited another 45 minutes for someone to come back and take our order. The wait staff seem to just forget that we were there. Once we received our food, I had to find the wait staff again to get condiments. Not the best visit.

We had lunch on a Sunday at Reserve 22, inside. My Fish tacos were tasty and two of them were filling for me. My husband's Crab cakes were VERY small and had NO accompaniments. It was not enough to eat, so he ate my 3rd fish taco and part of my slaw. We're not big eaters, so this meal was a disappointment. Service was good, we were able to chat with our friends and enjoy our meal.
