From the good reviews here and elsewhere, we drove straight from the border to this cafe, arriving about 1:30pm for lunch on a Thursday. Although it did concern me that the majority of the reviewers of Reservoir were from other cities, I was pleasantly surprised that this place did not cater to tourists by giving us a french-only menu.
We sat by the window on the main floor and the place was half-empty. I echo the sentiments of Al A that the service was extremely slow. I ordered the braised pork with fennel salad and peanut sauce, while my wife had the salmon fish and chips. About 30 minutes after we ordered, that server came over and told us that the chef overcooked my pork. I suppose it's a good thing that he didn't serve me a piece of overcooked pork. In the interim, they brought us out the soup of the day, which was a cold crab/yuzu soup - this was dynamite.
The salmon was surprisingly not as heavy as I expected. Nice light batter but crispy. The chips were excellent - perfectly seasoned and crispy. My pork was a little disappointing. It was definitely a little overcooked and dry - I suppose the chef was having some difficulties that day.
Three and half stars, but I rounded up because of the honesty of the server, and they greatness of the french fries and soup.
