Big things are pouring at The Reserve. 🍷

Fresh off earning the 2026 Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, we're excited to launch a brand new weekly video series hosted by our General Manager and in-house Sommelier, Jennifer Weiss.

Each week Jen will walk through a wine from our list, sharing what makes it special and what to pair it with. Expect a new video every Wednesday, so keep an eye out.

Cheers to that.

Some of the best conversations happen over lunch. 🍽️ The kind where you lose track of time, order something you weren't planning to and stay far longer than you meant to. Right here on Federal Road, The Reserve is built for exactly that, whether it's business colleague or client, an old friend or you just need a break from shopping. Let's do lunch.
