I took my spouse here for his birthday and loved it. Gaby was an exceptional hostess, very welcoming, very attentive, knew the menu to give great recommendations, and always made sure we were doing well. Will definitely visit again. Recommend 10/10

Great food overall! The quality of the dishes was excellent and everything we ordered was well prepared and full of flavor. You can really tell the kitchen puts care into both presentation and taste. The atmosphere is one of the highlights — the dim lighting creates a warm, intimate setting that’s perfect for date night or for taking someone out when you want to make a great impression.
The only area that could use some improvement is the drink selection. It would be nice to see a few more options such as sparkling water, Coke Zero, and a broader variety of non-alcoholic beverages to complement the food. Overall, it was a great dining experience and I would absolutely come back again.

Brooklyn was our server and she was incredible!! She really made the experience for us. The food was so good, and the espresso martini I had made by Leah was one of the best I’ve had. This was our first time here but absolutely not our last. I think between the excellent service, excellent food & drink, this might be our new favorite spot.

New Years Eve Dinner 2023 The Servers were Great!!! We had a party of four all enjoyed their dinner. I think the food and menu was very good like an old time Supper Club but a bit below the price point. I would say the owners are very proud of their business. The atmosphere was fine but not equal to the prices. The music in the dinning room was low enough that we could talk over the music. If you are a person looking for a very nice dinner and don’t mind paying the price make a reservation and give this business a try.

First time at the restaurant and I was sure what to expect. We took a family member out for their birthday and we were very impressed! Service was great. Atmosphere was a little dark for some of us but not everyone but the food was absolutely fantastic! Overall it was an excellent experience and we will be back.

Midtown Reserve offers a mixed dining experience that shows promise but falls short in certain areas, especially given the premium pricing.
Starting with the positives, the appetizers were a highlight of the meal. The Brussel sprouts were expertly prepared, delivering a satisfying crunch and a well-balanced flavor. Similarly, the crab appetizer stood out with its fresh taste and delightful seasoning, making it a must-try for seafood lovers.
However, the main course didn’t quite meet expectations. The steak, though seasoned well, was undercooked. This detracted from what could have been an exceptional dish. Additionally, the sides were disappointing. The frites and broccoli were pedestrian, lacking the creativity and flavor you would expect from a restaurant of this caliber.
Given the overall experience, the meal felt somewhat overpriced. While the appetizers set a promising tone, the main course and sides didn’t justify the expensive bill

I had high hopes given how highly rates this steakhouse is. I come from California and all I can say is the idea is great. Execution is horrible. The wines they offer are comparable to boxed wines. The appetizers are not executed well. And the pizzas are not what you expect for the price. If you’re going to have a wine and pizze bar master a specific style of pizza and deliver a great product. Nothing is great. Everything is mediocre.

This place is not safe for celiacs, despite having clearly marked gluten-free items and staff who confidently say they take allergies seriously. I ordered the seared salmon on a bed of pilaf with a baked potato. The food itself tasted great—rich, flavorful, no issues there.
But the aftermath was another story. I didn’t end up with a simple “tummy ache” from a bit of contamination, I got full-blown, this-chef-doesn’t-understand-allergies sick. I was genuinely shocked that a place with this kind of atmosphere and price point could handle gluten-free preparation so poorly.
If I had to guess, the issue came from either the pilaf under the salmon or a sauce used in the main dish.
If you are gluten-free or have celiac disease, RUN from this place. It’s not worth going through what I just went through.

One of the best meals I have ever had! This is the perfect spot for a fine dining, date night celebration! Our steaks were delicious and perfectly cooked. If you’re in Cedar Rapids you need to add this to your list!

We had very good food as well as service at Midtown Reserve. Steaks were hot and the quality of beef was parallel to what you would find in a big city. Cocktails were spot on and a great wine list was appreciated. The banana split to end the night was fabulous. We will definitely be back. So nice to see a restaurant of this caliber in Cedar Rapids!!
