Restart is a "soft" operation which you might need to use if you have problems with software or hardware. Restart is handled by software and happens in automatic mode.Reset is "rough" operation which you have use when you cannot restart or turn your PC off. Reset is based on hardware and happens only if you are manually doing that.
