Good food and nice staff. The main negative is the Newsmax being played on most TVs. If you want to focus on your meal and not right wing propaganda and misinformation, this is not the place for you.
I highly recommend this restaurant.
Service and food are excellent.

Reservoir Tavern is known for its generous food portions and freshly prepared, wonderfully cooked meals. It is a family-run Italian establishment that has been in operation since 1936, making it a true Jersey gem. The restaurant is popular for its great food, including pizza, pasta, and fried clam strips that are not greasy at all. A large pizza pie, often ordered half plain and half sausage, is a favorite among guests. The staff, including the owner and longtime employees, create an authentic and welcoming atmosphere, with the hostess going out of her way to make guests feel at home. The fully stocked bar offers a good place to watch sports, although Newsmax is played on most TVs, which is a main negative for some. The calamari is crispy and golden, and the seafood risotto is creamy, rich, full of flavor, and cooked just right. The stuffed artichoke is perfectly seasoned and perfectly stuffed. Reservoir Tavern is busy, especially after 5 pm, so reservations are recommended. Parking can be rough as the lot can fill up quickly, but service is prompt once guests are seated. It is a great spot for families, dates, groups, and business meals. Although it gets crowded, visitors enjoy relaxing, having a great meal, and leaving happy. Overall, Reservoir Tavern offers excellent food, strong drinks, and a warm, friendly environment that has kept it a local favorite.
