    Great dinner for my husbands birthday! Service was great. Food was overall really good. The veggies in our dishes lacked flavor, but looking forward to trying more dishes they offer! Would definitely go back.

    Out in Reno for a quick weekend trip and we stumbled upon this restaurant. Cocktails were good. My spicy shrimp pasta was just okay. It wasn’t spicy and the marinara/sauce just okay. So I won’t be ordering that pasta again. The Brussels sprouts were good but I wished they didn’t use that ranch sauce dressing. I would have preferred a balsamic glaze with some umami flavor instead. As for the filet mignon, it was cooked perfectly. Tender and prolly the best dish we had.

    Good casual dining. A bit noisy, decor is random, but if you're there for food, then you are in the right place.
