The Reserve Culinary Tavern — Restaurant in Lubbock

This place is always crowded so I thought it would be a good place to celebrate brunch after college graduation. The server admitted it was her first time handling a table on her own. Ok, fine, I'll cut her some slack, but train your staff better. She has a lot to learn. The food tasted good, but my glazed nashville hot chicken sandwich was barely warm.

I ordered their Chicken with a signature white sauce which was too salty. They apparently replaced it with a fresh one and same thing 2nd time. Upon asking found out they batch made sauces and evidently that day's were made super salty. So the sauce wasn't fresh and most importantly the chef doesn't taste their food. The server dropped by to ask this particular question - Is it good enough salt for you? Had they tasted it, they'd have known not for me but it was salty for anybody, my companion...
