I don't leave a lot of reviews, but I felt bricks restaurant did such an amazing job last night for my wife's 50th birthday party. Tim was our server and he did an amazing job. The food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place if you have a special event coming up, there was about 19 of us and they put us in the back room which was very nice. read more

Came in for a birthday celebration. It was a slow night so it felt very intimate and cozy. Service was very good, but the food was what really stood out! We had the elk chop and the cowboy steak special. Both were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The skillet mac and cheese was amazing as well! It is on the pricier end but its a great spot to come in for a special occasion! read more

Bricks Restaurant & Wine Bar - New American Near Me - Reno, Nevada

My girlfriends and I were so excited to celebrate a birthday at Bricks. All but one of us had been here before, having great experience excited to share a rare Saturday night out away from our families together. Our server was lovely, newer, but kind with a great sense of humor. The food was good. The salmon and red wine reduction was a very strange combo, skip it. The ambience was nostalgic of fine dining in days past with worn but comfortable seating and pleasant atmosphere. Although, having been too many fun dining establishments, the buses need some training. As they reached across us over us and around us to clear plates and serve. Sadly, the night was abruptly ended as the manager came over. And told us we had to leave because he had another table to seat at ours. There are many ways a manager could do this, and yes, we have been there for a little over two hours, enjoying our time, the service was slow, in a way that encouraged taking your time...a fine dining experience, which generally you would think would be unrushed. We ordered drinks, salad, salads, mains, dessert for 4... No split meals, no split tabs. One credit card and a generous tip. We had already paid the bill and were getting ready to go within the next few minutes because we all needed to be home before 8. The manager came over was extremely unkind and rude in his tone and request. He told me, without provocation, didn't care if we gave him a bad review. And two hours was long enough for dinner. We all walked out in silence, aghast at his terrible manners and words. All that to say, diner beware. This man undid a wonderful evening with a few sharp words and extremely awful service and poor manners. Realizing that had he said it nicely, we would've popped right up. We were already ready to go. And that treating your customers -who just spent a few hundred dollars with you - with respect and warmth versus treating them with contempt and rudeness. We will not be back. Not that he cares, but if you're looking for a place to have a leisurely fine meal over the course of a couple hours, this isn't it. read more

First time at Bricks for a small company Christmas party and it was awesome!! I loved the old school vibe and feel of the restaurant! Service was good, maybe a touch slow but the restaurant was super busy and we all enjoyed socializing and chatting in between courses. We ordered crab cakes and Caesar salad for everyone at the table and both appetizers were delicious. Caesar dressing was zesty and a little creamy , crab cakes were really good too. 3 of us ordered filet mignon with mashed potatoes, I thought the filet dinner was excellent , cooked and seasoned perfectly mashed taters were creamy and delicious , a great meal across the board. I also enjoyed a couple whiskey sours with my meal and for dessert we had the baked alaska coffee ice cream cake. I highly recommend everything we ordered and I can't wait to come back try it all over again !! Great job....Cheers!! read more

Bricks is a mainstay in Reno for good reason, they serve high quality and delicious food with yummy twists. The baked mushroom caps were just as cheesy, gooey, decadent with the perfect blue cheese notes to add flavor interest as I remember them from last time we came. Use the bread to dip and clean out the whole bowl! I do wish the bread was higher quality, was a little sad and crusty. The veal picatta was exceptional, super thin veal that was so juicy and flavorful and tender, I don't know how they did it! The caper sauce with the tangy sun dried tomatoes was a hit. The halibut was also super tasty and in a fun twist in an Asian style sauce with perfectly cooked pasta, a light sweet coconut broth I wanted to spoon up! Love coming to Bricks for a special and elevated date night! read more

I definitely want to come back here, as the prices are very fair for their quality. read more

One of Reno's best kept secret. Great steakhouse at a reasonable price. My wife and I usually do a surf and turf and get a fillet and the seafood thermidor. The thermidor is insane! A very generous portion or lobster, scallops, and shrimp. The sauce is amazing, and the depth of flavor achieved is impressive! The servers are always knowledgeable and friendly. If you are looking for a great spot for a date night, look no further than bricks! read more

Try the curry halibut for something zesty and original. I have eaten here many times. Quiet upscale joint with a familiar old-school simple feel to it. The food is always solid, if not spectacular. The service has always been great. If you are looking for a place to host formal private meetings or talks, they offer two quiet private rooms. As far as the Reno restaurant scene goes, this is one of the more reliable choices outside of the large casinos. read more

We celebrated my birthday at Brock's on a Wednesday The place was hopping-bar looked to be busy and the Dining room was full. Joy was our server and she was a delight! My SIL had called ahead to pay for a bottle of wine for us. The message was conveyed and taken care of seamlessly. I always love Bricks and it is a favorite for any celebration. We started with their lump crab cakes which had a delicious remoulade sauce with the perfect amount of spice. Moved on to a caprese salad with avocado...and our main courses were the pasta seafood Special (prawns, lobster and scallops in a creamy wine sauce.) AMAZING! Hubs had the salmon with a red wine reduction and mashed Potatoe. Melt in your mouth read more

After a long day, wife and I decided to try the restaurant. Upon walking into the restaurant, most people wear slacks and evening dresses. And looks like the establishment recommends a reservation, but we didn't even have that. We were lucky to get a table. Wife got Alaskan halibut and I had an Elk chops. Oh they were so good. We also split their house salad. read more

All around terrific experience. Great service, presentation and quality of the food. Definitely be back & not waiting for a special celebration. read more

Pleasant atmosphere; quality service; tasty food. I began with the Baked Mushroom caps; my husband had the Creamy Five Onion Soup. For the entree, I had the Sea Bass (excellently prepared) and he had the Veal Piccata. For dessert, we both enjoyed a slice of Key Lime Pie. read more

In my all my 28+ years living in Reno, how have I not been here before? Last minute reservations on a Saturday night led to an amazing dinner at Bricks. My party was seated right away upon arriving. We were all hungry so we ordered main entrees without appetizers. We had the shrimp scampi, seafood thermidor, filet mignon and macadamia crusted sea bass. Although it took some time for the dishes to come out, it was well worth the wait. All the plates came out hot and based on my party's reaction, everyone enjoyed their food. Large portions and everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection. I had the seafood thermidor and highly recommend it if you like seafood. We ended our meal with the baked Alaska and crème brûlée for dessert and both were delicious and not overly sweet. Service was great, ambiance was what you expect of a steakhouse and pricing quite reasonable for a steakhouse. All in all a great dining experience. We will be back. read more

This is my favorite nice dining place. The hanger steak was on special, and so good, filet is my go-to always. Staff, service, and food are excellent. I always feel like I am being spoiled when eating here, old-fashioned dining experience. I had a Lemon drop instead of a glass of wine very good. read more

The food is excellent with ample proportions and beautiful presentation. The filet mignon steak was so tender and prepared exactly as requested medium rare , on the rare side. The coconut prawns were tender, with the crispy crust outside and had the sweet sauce on the side. The service was excellent. read more

Bricks has been around a long time for a reason. The service is outstanding, the atmosphere is intimate, and the food is excellent. The mushroom raviolis are delicious and they don't skimp - these are my new favorite mushroom raviolis in town - very sorry Eldorado. We'll keep coming back as long as they keep doing dinner this well. read more

Delicious!! Decided to come here for date night and we got right in. It is a pretty big restaurant with lots of seatings. Service was great. Our waitress was extremely nice. The food was so so good. I got the king salmon and was asked how I like it cooked. I've never been asked that before so I said medium and my god it was the most delicious salmon I've ever had. It was so soft and not dry like other places. Baked Alaska for dessert was yummy also. We will definitely be back. read more

We had a lovely dinner celebrating a friend's birthday on a busy Saturday night. I had a special that was offered on this particular night...John Dory fish with a lemon butter caper sauce, served with veggies and rice. I substituted whipped potatoes to replace the rice. The whole dish was very delicious. The fish was cooked perfectly highlighting the buttery, light and tender flavored fish. Potatoes and veggies were excellent too. I would happily order this again. My hubby ordered the mushroom raviolis and he devoured them. He loved them. The restaurant was a bit loud due to a party of about 10-12 guests who were extremely vocal. Felt bad for the date night couples and small parties near that table who had to bear their noisy presence. We had a half wall separating us and even our conversations were greatly affected by their volume. Of course large groups can have a grand time, but it's unfortunate how one group of diners can affect the ambiance of an entire restaurant. Usually Bricks is an elegant and calm dining place, tonight it was not. Next time. read more

We've been wanting to come try Bricks for a while now, so we came recently for our anniversary dinner! It is located in Midtown and there's a large parking lot behind the building. The inside feels like you are walking into someone's home as there are multiple different dining areas that feel like rooms in a house. It was a welcoming yet intimate atmosphere and felt like a nice setting for a date night. Service was fairly slow while we were here, but I'm going to say it's because there were two large parties dining in the same room as us. It was also a Saturday night, so I'm sure they got pretty busy. We shared a bottle of Syrah which was nice to have while we dined since we were here for almost two hours. We started with the baked mushroom caps based on raving reviews I read on those. They totally lived up to the hype! Very rich and flavorful. The dish came with 5 but I could've had so many more, they were delicious! My husband got the veal and I got the scallop risotto. Both were fantastic! My husband loved the butter and caper sauce that the veal was served in. The pieces of veal were a good size and came with pasta. My risotto was so creamy and cheesy. The scallops were wild mushroom crusted which made them extra tasty! They had almost a blackened flavor to them. We went with the baked Alaska for dessert which you cannot pass up. It came as an almond crust topped with coffee amaretto ice cream and toasted meringue. What a unique combination of flavors that you don't usually see in desserts! My husband doesn't drink coffee and he even liked the flavor of this dessert. The coffee and almond balanced each other well and neither was too strong. The crust was a bit harder than it should have been, it was hard to cut it with a fork. Overall, still a very yummy way to finish the meal. We were really impressed with the food here, it seems like a Reno staple and we plan to bring family/friends here in the future when they are visiting. We are excited to return to try more of their delicious food! read more

Had an awesome filet. The mushroom appetizer was yummy. Great ambiance, good waiter, device was great couldn't empty my water glass and was unaware of it being refilled. Highly recommended. Fell short on birthday request. Not everyone is perfect. read more

As a former chef and a gluten free person, this is my new pick for fine dining. I've been here a couple of times now and realize it is consistently one of the best - if not THE best - restaurants in town. Every course was a delight; the service was friendly and attentive; the ambiance reads 'updated classic.' They had abalone on special, lightly breaded with (non gluten) flour. We got the appetizer which was small for four but what a bite it was! Prepared picatta style with lemon and capers, it was perfect, chef's kiss! My mom and I shared the lump crab salad which was divine, crab mixed with artichoke hearts and hearts of palm, served over mixed greens. It was simply delectable! My stay-dad, the birthday boy, ordered the five onion soup which was a creamy base with sherry notes. He said it was wonderful. Entrees consisted of filet Mignonette, elk chops and the wild salmon and everything was incredible! The filet was the best of all but the elk was done perfectly. It's the sauce in the filet that makes it so good, as well as the quality and cook on the meat. The salmon came with a lovely sauce and the birthday boy loved it!! The baked Alaska dessert was good but consisted mostly of ice cream. A nice amaretto cookie base and piped meringue on top. This was probably the weakest part of the meal. No big deal, though because the cappuccino was great and the decaf espresso got a nice review, as well! Drinks were superb, I had the grapefruit basil martini and a Chopin martini with bleu cheese olives! My daughter said the cosmos weee on point. The bar was also happy to accommodate mocktail requests from the elders with delicious virgin mojito and strawberry daiquiri. read more

My favorite thing from what we ordered would have had to be the onion soup. My boyfriend and I actually fought over it, haha. The crab cakes were underseasoned for my liking. The seafood thermidor was a little too salty for me but tasted better once I added acidity by squeezing a couple lemon wedges on it. The Caesar salad was okay. The chicken pasta was great! Also loved the lobster bisque and baked Alaska. Our server and food runner were great and very attentive, I forgot their names! Also a very quaint and cozy place to have a nice dinner. read more

The wings are some of the best in town. I highly recommend the Brickies sauce on them. They do have a small grill so when it does get slammed, be patient for your food because it can take a minute. Great Reno bar!!! read more

Both my husband and I ordered off the appetizer menu and we each ordered a salad, which turned out to be plenty for us. I was really looking forward to the calamari steak and scallops and my husband ordered the crab cakes. The calamari was delicious but I wasn't crazy about the scallops. I asked the waitress if next time I could just have calamari and she indicated that would be okay. I had the house salad, which was plentiful and he had the ceaser salad. The crab cakes were also delicious and the sauce spicy, but not too spicy! Service was excellent and we were seated in a booth which for us works great. Will definitely go back! read more

Bricks is one of the best restaurants in Reno. This is usually at the top of my list for a birthday or anniversary celebration dinner I recommend making a reservation Service is top tier. From the moment you arrive until it's time to leave, they take care of you This evening I tried the BBQ peppered prawns as an appetizer. Grilled prawns and mushrooms in a very savory pepper and garlic sauce. My main course was a Steak Oscar not on the menu. The steak was a filet cooked rare and topped with Dungeness crab. Delicious My libation of choice throughout the evening were a few old fashioneds made with Blanton's. This is one of the few places in town that serves my favorite bourbon read more

This well known local restaurant was the location of my birthday dinner and my first visit. A great surprise for me because from start to finish this was a fantastic choice for a celebration dinner. The whole meal from start to finish was delicious. The 5 onion soup was a wonderful surprise and super delicious. The lobster tail, the beef, salad, veggies, all fantastic. Service was excellent and the server was most helpful and provided excellent suggestions. Inside was clean and inviting the wine was fantastic. Will definitely visit again! read more

Excellent food, service and ambience. One of our favorite restaurants. The location is easy to get to as is the onsite parking.

1st time at this establishment and it was exciting! From the time we arrived (our 25 wedding anniversary) everyone was very welcoming. That's a big plus here in Reno where there is not much diversity! The food was excellent as well as the atmosphere. However, the staff went above and beyond! I completely enjoyed the entire experience! Our waitress, Molly was amazing read more

The specials for the evening far exceed what you see on the online menu. The specials are vast and wonderful. The service was fantastic and we very much appreciated our waitress, Karissa was wonderfully attentive, with perfect suggestions and recommendations when asked to provide them. Overall a wonderul experience with excellent accustics so one's conversations are not loud or difficult to hear. TRULY A RENO SECRET. Reservations a must and listen carefully to the specials before ordering. read more

Second time here and it was another great experience! We came here for Valentine's Day dinner last year and it was so good we did it again this year! We were lucky someone cancelled because I only booked it about one week out and they only had that one spot open for the night. The staff over the phone and in person were very kind. We were seated right at our reservation time, but if we arrived early they would've have room at their beautiful bar to grab a drink at before dinner. Great wine, great steak cooked perfectly, I had the rib eye special and my wife had the filet. We did a "baked Alaska" for desert, my first time having it and it was well worth the extra calories! We decided this will be a valentines tradition for us now! Plus we plan to come back when the weather is nice too because they have a great outdoor dining area too! read more

We were celebrating a wedding anniversary and made the reservation. We were seated quickly and engaged by our waitress. We started with the featured soup of the day, a Tuscan bacon/sausage soup. Great flavor and perfect for a cold evening. The temptation for the bone-in filet was too much, so we ordered one of those and a standard filet. The size of the bone-in was much larger than expected and had a wonderful sauce with it. The standard filet also had a sauce with it, but different. Add to it the lobster Mac n cheese and it was a great couple of meals. We finished with the bread pudding and the gelato trio. Service was great, food wonderful and the ambiance was perfect. Looking forward to going back soon. read more

Bricks is amazing! Best rib steak! Super tender, and the flavor was not overwhelmed with marinade. You could taste the steak and the flavor of the actual meat. Rather than a marinade. Best steak my husband has had other than that what I cook him! I think I like the mushroom raviolis even more than the Eldorado's. Let me put it this way. They are more fragrant and flavorful because of the onions and I think the chicken stock they use. But it does kind of mute the mushroom flavor, but they were delicious a little richer than what you get at the El Dorado. So I guess it depends on what you prefer. The ambience is perfect too!! 10 in my book! read more

We decided to try this place for the first time. I was in the mood for abalone, and I searched yelp and this is one of the few places that showed up with abalone. I called to make sure they had abalone, and sure enough they did have it. Abalone dinner is not cheap. But it's our 30th anniversary week (lots of in town dinners and fun), might as well splurge right? We called ahead to make sure they had a table, we showed up and were greeted nice enough. We sat in a booth, and had to wait for a while until our server came up. I ordered a Cadillac margarita and I specifically told the girl that I did not like a really sour margarita. And for her to instruct the bartender NOT to put extra lime, and if they didn't have sweet-and-sour, to use orange juice. When I got the margarita I tasted it, it was absolutely the most sour margarita I've ever had. It was like made with pure lime juice. We were on our anniversary so I didn't complain I just sipped it a little slower. My wife had a glass of Moscato. She enjoyed that. The waitress never asked us if we wanted another drink... I asked about the abalone dinner, I think it was $82. But they also had a rack of lamb. And a rack of lamb is something I really enjoy. So I asked her if I could order the rack of lamb, and maybe get just the abalone à la cart? She told me no, that I could only get it for a full dinner. Or I could pay the full price and they would just not put anything on the plate. she said I could have one 3 ounce medallion for $42 as an appetizer... So I decided what the heck let's try that. What we ordered: Cadillac margarita Muscato Abalone appetizer Grilled scallops and cal Rack of lamb medium rare The abalone was not very good...It was pounded to a super thin slice, then dipped in a batter/bread crumbs that was much thicker than the abalone. The sauce was mediocre and the bread crumbs and sauce basically rendered the abalone tasteless. The rack of lamb was not a rack. It was lamb chops. You can see from the pictures that the lamb was cooked after splitting. I think they did this to hurry the process. It is sad as I really wanted to enjoy my 2 favorite items. The fries served with the lamb were coated with flour, so nicely browned but under cooked under the coating. My wife's appetizer was good but only has 2 scallops To make a long story short, our server was just kind of negligent the whole evening. Every time we wanted something we had to ask the busser to go get her. It was obvious that she did not relate the desire to have a non-sour drink. We felt cheated on the abalone and Lamb. The place is quite pretty, but sub par on food in service. read more

Bricks Restaurant & Wine Bar - Completely sour margarita - New American Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Quality/Quantity - House Bread - Pretty good. They were warm and one of them was a cheesy mochi texture. The butter was already on the table when we sat down. We would have preferred sea salt on the butter. Cucumber Crab Gazpacho - Special. Wow, This was really good, I regret not getting it. But then I would not have been able to get dessert as I am a light eater. Dungeness Crab Cakes - Done well. Crispy on the outside, generous crab. Creamy Five Onion Soup - Good. Porterhouse Special - I am surprised I finished this, so good. Sea Bass - Always good! We have been ordering this entree more and more as we dine out. Lobster Tail - Another Special. Generous size. Lemon Chicken - Not sure why my daughter ordered this??? Not her usual order. And of course, she took half of it home. Diver Scallops Risotto - Good, felt that the scallops were slightly over cooked. Rack of Lamb - Generous portions. I was impressed that our guest was able to finish this. Filet Mignon - Good, except our 9 year old (yes, 9 years old, has a better palette than I) guest wanted medium and we all felt that this was cooked more medium rare. Nothing a microwave can't solve when she gets home. Salmon - Good. Desserts: Key Lime Pies - 5 stars, my guest says that this is one of the best key lime pies he has had. And he orders this all the time. Chocolate Cab Glazed Brownie - Good. The peanut butter ice cream was extremely good! Baked Alaska - Impressed by the quality of the ice cream. It stayed firm the entire time my daughter slowly (and I mean slowly) ate it. Sorbet Pineapple Banana - Good, our guests did not care for the macaroons. Belgian Chocolate Mousse Cake - Good. Todays drinks: Republic Tea - Unlimited refills. Lemonade - Custom made for my daughter with mixed berry puree, but not refillable. Shirley Temples - Not refillable. Malbec - Complimented perfectly with the Porterhouse Special. Coffee - After dessert. Atmosphere - Good size restaurant, actually looks like a motel entrance from the outside??? Several sections for private dining. Outside patio, which I believe was closed. Bar area, probably the busiest section of the restaurant today. Clean organized bathroom. Open 5 days a week from 5pm to 9pm, closed Sunday & Monday. Plenty of private parking, but today seemed like a very slow day, not many customers. Service - It has been 5 years since our kids got together, what a great reunion. So thank you Heidi who was very patient as we stayed 2.25 hours here talking, laughing, joking, etc. And some of us did not have the best jokes, sorry. Price - $812 which includes the 20% gratuity. Expensive, but that is the price for good food and service. Thank you. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success for over 16+ years. We will be back. read more

I absolutely love this place. The staff is very well trained and friendly. I usually eat in the bar and order from Scott, the bartender. Scott knows the menu well. The drinks are always good, the food is always fresh and prepared perfectly. There are several restaurants in Reno that I would call 1st Class. Bricks is one of them. This place is really good. Great atmosphere too. If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out. read more
