Southern comfort food serves as the foundation of Chef Eric Reid's menu at Reserve 2216, but he's not afraid to take liberties with tradition. His versions of classic dishes put a gourmet twist on childhood favorites, and his team crafts new creations every day. The sample menu online will give you a rough idea of what Chef Eric might be working on today, but the only way to know for sure is to make the trip and check out his chalkboard menu.
It'll likely be filled with apps like wonton nachos topped with tuna, roasted red pepper aioli, and wasabi, as well as Brussels sprouts with peanuts, feta, and a balsamic dressing. When it comes to the main course, Chef Eric often serves his signature hot chicken. Yelp reviewers rave about the dish, a crunchy piece of fried chicken over a cornbread waffle, collard greens, and a pickle. You might also see shrimp and grits, a pork chop with roasted garlic-gorgonzola butter, or grilled culotte on the menu.
