In No Reservations master chef Kate Armstrong (Catherine Zeta-Jones) lives her life like she runs the kitchen at upscale 22 Bleecker Restaurant in Manhattan with a no-nonsense intensity that both captivates and intimidates everyone around her. More at ease behind the scenes, Kate only leaves the sanctuary of her kitchen to accept compliments for one of her signature dishes, or, on rare occasions, to tangle with a customer who dares question her technique. After work, most nights find her in bed before midnight, set to rise at dawn to beat her competition at the fish market for the next day’s freshest selections. Kate’s perfectionist nature is put to the test when a brash new sous chef joins her staff, the high-spirited and freewheeling Nick Palmer (Aaron Eckhart). A rising culinary star himself, Nick favours opera while working and loves to make everyone around him laugh. His casual approach to both life and cuisine couldn’t be more different than Kate’s, yet the chemistry between them is undeniable.
Kate's life is thrown into chaos when she becomes the guardian of her young niece.
Also starring Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine), romantic drama No Reservations is directed by Scott Hicks, produced by Kerry Heysen and based on the screenplay Mostly Martha, by Sandra Nettelbeck, produced by Christoph Freidel and Karl Baumgärtner.
