    Wonderful service. The food was exceptional, delicious flavors and presentation. My duck breast was cooked perfectly and the berry glaze was the perfect to complement the duck. It was served with pan fried gnocchi that were crispy on the outside and so tender inside. The trumpet mushrooms were a delicious addition to the dish. My husband had the filet and said it was the best he has ever tasted. He order the risotto as a side dish. It was cheesy, creamy and delicately seasoned with herbs. The desserts were wonderful, banana semifreddo with mango and salted caramel and pistachio gelato. Everything was prepared and served with care.

    Falsely advertised a 25% discount as "Reno's best locals discount". No where on their literature did they indicate the discount was capped to $50 based on a $200 max ticket. Our ticket was $600. The restaurant was a ghost town and the GM was unhelpful stating *his hands were tied". False advertising is illegal in NV. Food is overpriced and average. Mac and cheese was wretched bad. The casino owner needs to check in on his manat team. They're defeating what could otherwise be a good policy to get deep pocketed locals in.

    Like that this place is somewhat small. I’d request a booth next time. Food is exceptional!

    This was a splurge for us, and it was completely worth it! Everything from the ambiance to the service to the incomparable food was top notch. Then, before we left, we were encouraged to look at the private art collection ( which included a Picasso!) This was a memorable evening, and both me and my husband thoroughly enjoyed our dinner selections.

    The Steakhouse isn’t very impressive as a facility. The Aged Rib-Eye was excellent but at $88 without sides it is expensive. The service was “ok” but not great. For those prices they should at least offer to cut your wedge salad when you order one for 2 people. The waiter said splitting food is against the “Chef’s Policy” but I have no idea why. We ended up with a mess of dressing on the table doing it ourselves. We tried to order a Caesar salad initially but they don’t have anchovies. That’s something we expect with fine dining. It wasn’t a terrible experience but I don’t think we’ll return either.

    Ordered the ribeye and I got a 10 dollar steak from the local grocery store. Very disappointed especially for paying $70 dollars for it. I thought it was a joke at first but wasn’t.

    The restaurant was very clean, staff were friendly and seemed to take pride in their jobs and the food was delicious. The owner (we assume) was very present, checking on each table and very nice. He offered us free dessert since our food took longer to come out than he thought it should. After we were done, the waitress told us to be sure to check out the cool art in the other room before we left. We had a wonderful experience for my husband's birthday dinner.

    Our server was Zachery and he was very polite, informative, and engaging. We enjoyed the entire experience. The food and wine were excellent.
