Restaurant Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
The secondary characters are as well-defined as the leads.
TV Guide
Steve Simels
Brody, who has the lean-and-hungry charisma of a skinny young De Niro, turns his potentially cliched, tortured artist character into somebody from whom you'd actually want to buy a drink.
Cincinnati Enquirer
Margaret A. McGurk
I don't know anything about the background of director Eric Bross or screenwriter Tom Cudworth, but I'm guessing at least one used to be a bartender.
Offoffoff
Joshua Tanzer
There are a million stories in the big city, we understand from the start -- and this isn't one of them.
Filmcritic.com
Athan Bezaitis
Thankfully, the film itself is a whole lot better than the name might indicate.
Apollo Guide
Dan Jardine
The film is blessed by two fine lead performances, as Brody and Neal both offer naturalistic, understated interpretations.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
At its best, this is a movie of unusual integrity and insight.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Solid performances, capable visuals, and the honesty of the interracial subject matter make Restaurant stand out from the typical 'I'm an artist, not really a waiter' pack.
San Francisco Examiner
Wesley Morris
Restaurant is like an hour long TV drama caught somewhere between Showtime and WB.
Philadelphia City Paper
Sam Adams
Features impressive performances from the entire cast and successfully mixes personal drama with larger issues.
Village Voice
Amy Taubin
Attempting to ratchet up tension, Bross relies on forced crosscutting and stagey clichs.

Maybe you'd do better cooking at home than heading for this Restaurant tonight.
