We started with the brussel sprouts — crispy on the outside, tender inside, and tossed in a sweet-heat glaze that had us fighting over the last bite. The crab cakes were pure coastal perfection: golden, buttery, and packed with lump crab — no filler, just flavor. Then came the filet, cooked to a flawless medium-rare, juicy and melt-in-your-mouth tender. But the real MVP? The mashed potatoes — creamy, buttery, and honestly the best we've ever had. Silky, rich, and seasoned just right — we're still talking about them. Cocktails were equally impressive. Every sip was balanced, fresh, and made with care — no shortcuts, just house-crafted excellence. Service was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely proud of what they serve.
I enjoyed the Tiger Prawns and Grits. It was outstanding. My wife found the Jack Fruit Tacos absolutely delicious. The cocktails were very good. Service was excellent and the whole evening was wonderful. One of our favorite eating spots in Reno by far.
It is very overpriced not the cleanest place I've ever been to and the pizza was very average
Third time here... continue to do a great job. Appreciate the selections and recommendations.
I had their version of the Philly cheesesteak, it was excellent, definitely not traditional. As a side, I had their tomato bisque, which went well with the sandwich.
We loved this spot that was a short distance from the airport Hyatt where we were staying. The service was excellent and the food and drinks were, too. We really loved the atmosphere, which was relatively quiet, with great music and a beautiful, cozy dining room/ bar area. The tin ceiling and other decoration were very cool. We both had the Alaskan salmon Caesar, so can't speak to the larger menu, but it looked like there were lots of delicious, fresh options. Our salads were very well prepared, fresh, and made a satisfying meal. The area around the restaurant was busy, and easy to walk in and we found street parking easily.
Wonderful experience for a great family meal. We were aged from 6 to 74 and we all loved it.
I had the pot roast. It was pretty much just boiled gamy beef, and I think not truly roasted. The gravy was just the broth; it was not gravy. 
The steak salad was awful. Cuts of overcooked steak on a bed of spinach/lettuce with a micro dose of dressing on the side was pitiful. Waiter operated on a similar level - we were a group of 10 with very basic and patient requests, and were made to feel neglected and underserviced.
We had such high hopes. My meal (Salmon) was amazing. My husband first ordered the pot roast. It came, with a gravy that was so watery, not gravy.... We finally got the attention of the server and he said it was "au jus" No way. The watery substance ran into the mash potatoes. We rejected the meal and then he got the ribs instead. Better, but overall disappointing. The server seemed mad that we had complained, instead of trying to remedy the situation. Let's at least take responsibility for a bad serving. The other issue with the service is he wasn't really available for beers or to check on us.

Decent little bar / grub spot in Reno. Service was excellent, drinks were great, food was quite good.
We came here for our son's graduation. We all had breakfast dishes wish were tasty. We all agreed that the biscuits need to be homemade buttery biscuits. The ones they served were hard and not that good. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't recommend it to friends looking for a place to eat brunch.
Consistently a great experience. My wife and I split the carnivore pizza and a Caesar salad. It was more than enough for both of us. Drinks and service were excellent. Will definitely return.
Guess we caught whoever runs this place in a bad place. 6:30 Res. Seated immediately and then everything went dark. 20 minutes and not even an acknowledgment we were there. Walked out and hit up Tequila Catador two doors down and had the dinner we were expecting in the first place. Looked like it would have been good but not going to happen for us again. One and done….
