    This is the third time we have been to the Reservoir and this visit wasn't as good as the previous times we have been. It felt like they were under staffed and it felt a bit rushed. Our table was not very clean and when they cleared our plates they left food dropped on the table from clearing the plates. Took a while to get the bill as the staff were rushing around and it was difficult to catch their eye.

    This is a large bar/restaurant which has a friendly atmosphere and good food. The furnishings look clean and are comfortable, decor is contemporary but it looks like it needs decorating threw out and definitely needs new floor coverings to make it feel cosy and inviting.
