Restaurants near Cedar River Natural Resource Area

This is one of our favorite restaurants in Marion, great food great ambience, great service as always! Thank you, Sophia, for for taking such great care of us. 

All 3 of us had delcious meals. Poutine, LPSF Ramen & Gyro, all large portions! One of our guests was arriving later & our service often checked on when to put in the order for his meal. She was attentive & friendly on a very busy night. The Joy Popup was as if Christmas lights & decorations were spray painted in every space. WE LOVED IT! The All Wrapped Up holiday drink was KitKat egg nog with a blend of rums and served in a Kitty shaped cup. So adorable! We also shared the the hot smores dessert served with ice cream on top. I would highly recommend going & you have to make a reservation. There was a line out the door when we left.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at Midtown Reserve. We went on a weeknight so we almost had the place to ourselves. It was beautiful inside, the service was wonderful, and the food was exceptional! The bar area provided a great spot to relax after the dinner and enjoy one more drink. We will definitely be back again.

Salads were excellent. Wife got the berry salad and added tofu, I had the Buffalo chicken salad. Highly recommend those. Pretzel bites were good but it was a small portion in my opinion, Good cheese sauce. French fries were breaded, but good. Kids mac n cheese very good. Carolina burger was the only disappointing food item which honestly sounded like a great burger, I think they might have forgotten the sauce, it was very bland and the description sounded like it would explode in my mouth. Service was sub par. Sever was unable to recommend an IPA or other beer. With that many beers on tap all employees should be able to recommend one, even if it's just based on the name. Chairs weren't very comfy and the music was loud. Employees standing at the bar talking were using inappropriate language and there were a lot of children in the restaurant. My review sounds kind of harsh, not meant to be, I'd go again.

Service was great, food was delicious . Drinks were perfect.
