No Reservations
Life isn't always made to order.
Directed by Scott Hicks
Produced by Castle Rock Entertainment, Storefront Pictures
A warm romantic comedy about a perfectionist chef learning to balance control with love, family, and human connection through loss and unexpected partnership.
Master chef Kate Armstrong runs her life and her kitchen with intimidating intensity. However, a recipe for disaster may be in the works when she becomes the guardian of her young niece while crossing forks with the brash sous-chef who just joined her staff. Though romance blooms in the face of rivalry, Kate needs to look outside the kitchen to find true happiness.
