I'm going to take my favorite PH out to dinner in Reno. Any suggestions as to locations? In Dallas I loved both Pappadoux's and Texas De Brazil.

Ruby River saloon - opposite the Peppermill - excellent steaks.

It gets very busy convention time and there is reservng a table, but its good.

Excellent dinning at the Restaurant in the Silver Legacy, make reservations well in advance.

Rapscallions also comes highly recomended, again, reservations required.

The rib eye steak at Roxy's outside the El Dorado downtown was beyond excellent last year.

I have the same Question ?
Where in Reno can you find a fine Italian R.

Famous Murphy's is another good place ...mainly steaks but also some seafood. It's halfway between the Peppermill and The Atlantis. You'll see people you recognize in there every time you go during SCI. Reservations are a must.

There's a nice one in the Atlantis. I'm not much on Italian but the martini's didn't have any oregano

Italian....La Strada in the Eldorado Casino....outstanding!

Johny's Ristorante, out on 4245 West 4th Street. It's about 10 minutes from downtown, and is really good. Local hangout and real-world Italian food. Excellent bruschetta to visit over a glass of wine.

Johnnys in Reno is very good italian. Good seafood spot in the Silver Legacy I think it is called fairchilds.

Ed

Many thanks for all your advice. Will try some of your recomondation...

A second vote for the Italian restaurant in the Atlantis. Excellent!

Scott

The steakhouse in the Silver Legacy is excellent as well as the steakhouse in the Atlantis. The best prime rib I've ever had.

Mark

+ 1 for Ruby River. Great ribeyes and prime rib.
Get there early!

For a different change of pace the sushi bar at the Atlantis is also very good. And its all you can eat.

My favorite restaurant in Reno is Bricks. Excellent dining.

Tom

Hey Mark that reminds me -thanks again for supper!

The Steak House at Harrah's. Delicious steaks and seafood too.

That's where we're staying. Thanks for the heads up. Are you going this year Mike?

Too busy, unfortunately, so we won't be going this year. Hope you have a great time.

As far as Reno restaurants go my favorite is Brick's and they normally have plenty of game on the menu during the convention as well as their regular menu. The Eldorado and Silver Legacy restaurants do a good job as does Harrah's steakhouse. For Italian another place to consider is La Vecchia, about midway between the convention center and the Peppermill. If you're looking for a more casual place with a good atmosphere Foley's Irish Pub across from the Atlantis and convention center is a good choice for either lunch or dinner. Finally, downtown there is a place called Beaujolais Bistro which has excellent food although there lunch servers have become a bit spotty compared to what they were, haven't had dinner there in a while but overall excellent food.

Jaglav,
Have any thoughts about the 4th Street Bisto? I saw online that one service had it rated as their favorite in Reno. I'm looking for a really nice restaurant that my wife might enjoy when there with me.

For those in the know, help me pick between:

Roxy's
Bricks
Harrah's Steak House

I vote for Bricks.

Tom

My wife and I ate the best meal we've EVER had at the Silver Legacy.

DAve

I vote again for the ribeye at Roxy's. Even though it can be pricey, crowded and noisy, I'm going back next week.

For those looking for Italian try Luciano's and Portofino's. Both excellent. Harrah's steak house is always a good choice.

My tastes are pretty basic and I expect good value. Thus I like the buffets, especially the Peppermill, if your wife isn't offended by that kind of venue. Opt for the prime rib and variety of desserts. The retro bars at the Peppermill are fun too and the breakfasts in the coffee shop are killer.
