This was a real treat. A friend of ours recommended this restaurant, and I am glad she did. Located inside the Carson Valley Inn on the first floor, I highly recommend making reservations for dinner. We arrived at seven and we're promptly seated, drink orders were taken and we perused the menu. I started with French onion soup. The flavor was delicious. The cheese was so gooey and Thick.i followed that up with a salad that was tosses at the table. The dressing, creamy Italian was delicious. For the entree I had the surf and turf. A small filet and small lobster tail. Both were cooked to perfection. The steak did not need any spices added, and was so tender. Service was excellent, and the staff was extremely friendly. read more

We wanted to go somewhere with good ambiance and decent prices for our anniversary and we got it. Steaks were tender, servers were great, prices were decent. read more

Delicious food, excellent service. This is our favorite date night restaurant. Not only do we get a delicious meal but we can gamble for a little bit before or after if we are in the mood. Very nice decor. Feels like your in a nice ranch house. We've had several meals here and we also enjoy the early bird special. read more

Went here with young newlywed friends to celebrate. The food was mediocre,our drinks were never refilled, the lobster was over-cooked and, at the end of dinner, the manager showed up. He told us it was time to close and we needed to leave, which I totally understand, but his manner was rude and gruff. We had just spent $200 on dinner, so I have to say, it left me feeling disinclined to ever return. read more

Had a Thanksgiving dinner at the CVI Steakhouse. It has been great for years but now it seems they can not prepare Prime Rib without a ton of salt on it! I switched to the traditional Turkey Dinner and they tried to charge us the same price as the prime rib dinner for the Turkey plate? The gravy was over salted also but the waitress warned us a head of time. Ever meal at CVI is over salted. We are done with eating cheap food that needs to be cured in salt to serve! " Friends don't let friends eat at CVI" read more

We've been coming here for over 20 years. Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Post Covid the prices are no longer the deal they used to be, the $27 ribeye dinner is now $49, but its worth it. read more

Ended up here for my birthday dinner. I arrived right before dinner and they accommodated me accordingly. My service was phenomenal. The food: lobster, shrimp, steak, baked potato casserole and green beans was EXACTLY what I needed to complete my birthday. The only con I have is that they were not able to cook my medium well steak probably, it I understand the hesitation of possibly burning the meet. It was just wayyy too much blood for me. So if you like med raw the steak if perfection. I am super grateful. They could have turned me away, but instead they made my day. Thank you! Ps: I might just go back tonight for dinner read more

This restaurant and staff are sub par and not very helpful at all. They should probably close but they won't.

If you are ever in the Carson valley area, you must stop at CV steakhouse. This in my opinion is one of the better steakhouses in northern Nevada. Located inside the Carson Valley Inn, parking is a breeze, they even have valet. I highly recommend making reservations, we arrived at seven and it was packed. Our table was waiting for us. I ordered the filet with a potato. To start with I had French onion soup. The soup was delicious, Great flavor and the Gruyere cheese was so tasty. Accompanying the meal was a salad with creamy Italian dressing. This salad is tossed and served table side. The steak was so tasty and full of flavor. I did not add any salt or pepper. The steak was also incredibly tender. Service was excellent, and the restaurant was clean. I hope to be back soon. read more

Great food and service! Getting a reservation can be a challenge. Best steak in the area.

When you compare that this place is in the same casino as the horrible Katie's this is like a dream. Service excellent, food Devine. Absolutely love the scalloped potatoes. Would love to know how they cut those potatoes so thin. Don't forget to top it all off with the crème Brûlée. read more

Mediocre would be a good word to describe CV steakhouse. Our friend had surf and turf and it was a good size tail but unfortunately it was over cooked and tuff. 5 spears of asparagus looked more like a garnish then a vegetable. The baked potato was very large. My steak was cooked correctly, medium rare. I got 4 spears of asparagus. The potatoes au gratin was uninspiring, just thinly sliced potatoes and cream with a bit of cheese on top for decoration. The wife's fish was over cooked and s bit dry. She got 4 spears of asparagus also. Her twice baked potato was dry and lacking of flavor. Prior to this evening, the last time I ate here was about 10 years ago. Its probably going to be another 10 years before I go back. read more

This is a 3.5 star review. CVI (Carson Valley Inn) is a nice size Casino in our small town and CV Steak is their higher end restaurant. Inside they have a lovely bar if you just wanted to indulge in spirits and perhaps a game on TV. The restaurant is two levels with plenty of seating. Luckily we sat in a semi private area as it was our 25th wedding anniversary. My husband started off with the escargot and said it was delicious. Next came the house salad, which is tossed at the table. Nice, fresh greens, accompanied with grape tomatoes, artichoke hearts, croutons, and tossed with their house vinaigrette. The dressing is outstanding. Fresh bread is also there to snack on as well. My husband ordered their special this evening for his entrée, which was a blackened ribeye topped with a Southwestern sauce. He said it was delicious. I had the fillet mignon, unfortunately, it was a bit overcooked. My baked potato, however, was huge and very tasty. Complementary cheesecake (for our anniversary) was brought at the end of our meal. Although it looked lovely, it was pretty tasteless and unimpressive. Our busboy was on top of things, constantly making sure we had enough water and clearing dishes when necessary. I wish we could say that our waiter was as attentive as our busboy. The service was definitely lacking this evening. We rarely saw our waiter, and when we did see him, he made us feel rushed. There was also at least a 30 minute wait between the end of our salads and the entrées arriving. Much too long in my opinion. Coffee was never offered to us when the dessert was brought, which I found odd considering that is a normal thing to ask in any higher end restaurant. Perhaps the waiter just needed some additional training as I have eaten here before and never had this issue. read more

We ate at CV Steak last night..Incredible dining experience. We were a party of 4 & were told by the hostess that we would have a 30 minute wait.. which was fine but a very handsome gentleman took over & seated us in minutes. I wish I remembered his name! We were greeted by Chris, our waiter extraordinaire. He knew everything about the menu, explained the different entree's & gave us a complete rundown of every menu item. Luis made sure we had our water glasses filled & was always there to take away our dishes. Had never seen a crumb scraper but there Luis was.. scraping all crumbs from the linen tablecloth. My only disappointment was not being able to (because I was too full!) enjoy Creme De brûlée for dessert.. Highly recommend CV Steak .. will be going back when in town!! read more

By far one of the best steak houses in northern nevada. This is my go to place. The sampler platter is a must. The tuna is to die for.

We love this restaurant. It's our go-to for special occasions. Went in a couple days ago for an early Father's Day celebration. The chicken Marsala, salmon and New York steaks we great as always. I was disappointed with the prep on the green beans. The tough ends and long string down the length of bean were not removed before cooking. This made them inedible. read more

To start off the meal the French Onion soup is the BOMB. It was so good. I had the New York and Lobster Tail. Was prepared perfectly. Really good flavor and the waitress was really good. This place is worth the trip from Reno. I would love to come back. My GF had Prime Rib which was really good too. Whole cloves of Garlic in it. Can't wait to come back. Great Job!!!! read more

We have a reservation at 9:00 pm but we arrived early so my dad decided to go in there and ask if they have a table sense we have a reservation at 9 so one of the lady's said "oh yeah let me see what I can do for you" and then she came back with the manager and he said your reservation is at 9 so it's got to be at 9 a with a rude attitude. So we decided to canceled are reservation because it was 7:30 and we where very hungry so my mom canceled the reservation and the Manager had a table under 2 minutes he can get us a table in under 2 mins because we wanted to leave but he can't give us one if we are early. read more

AGAIN AS USUAL they outdid themselves. My order although different than on menu WAS OUTSTANDING. BEING on a strict diet I got to indulge without going over. I had the Ahi appetizer with vegetable of day which was Amazing and delicious green beans to perfection and of course the House salad prepared Table-side ( such a luxury not done anymore). And my Lucky husband had the most decadent chocolate mouse to die for (of which I had 2 small bites) . The service is 8!star and our waiter this time Cisco, Excellent but ALL are exceptional. read more

Called today 10Am made reservations at 6Pm and requested a both. She asked is it a special occasion? Yes my hubby has been inside the house since the virus hit so am taking him out for dinner. We arrive the manger is there I gave my name and did 6Pm and a both. He put us up the stairs part of reservations back in the corner table. The waitress and server never came back to refill anything nor to check, when I finally got her to bring refill ice tea and coffee it seem like everyone up in front got everything they wanted, by now the food is in a container and the drinks arrive. Well, too late. When I told the manager he wasn't to caring and said he fills the both fast you needed to request one. I said I did at 10 AM when I called. To me this was all wrong and I was hurt that hubby and I as seniors were not treated very nice. We have car clubs that come there and maybe I should tell them times have changed. At first I wasn't going to say anything about the seating but the service was just not good nor was the manger. read more

Waitress was welcoming and efficient. The waitstaff helper, Julian, was friendly and on the ball cleaning the table off between courses and keeping our water full. Husband had the special, 12 oz prime rib, with mashed potatoes and enjoyed it. I had the seafood broil with optional 4 oz steak. Everything was cooked great, my rare steak was rare, and the baked potato was HUGE. They have a great wine list and a full bar. Well definitely come here again. read more

Out and about our hometown visiting local businesses and thought we'd stop in to get a few drinks and we wanted dinner. A man with no hair who I assumed was the manager explained to us that we'd be better suited for the sports bar and not the steak house! Then he said they had no open spots until 8pm, but they had plenty of open tables. We had heard from many of our friends how great this place was, but were extremely offended at how disrespectful he was to us. We're we not dressed enough for him? We went up to a fine dining in Tahoe and spent $530 there instead with our friends. My opinion is please don't waste your time here with this rude establishment read more

Good Steaks Although they have a pretty good size menu they are best known for their steaks. We have eaten there several times and have tried a variety of their steaks but by far the best is the filet mignon . Mine was cooked to perfection and seasoned just they way a steak should be. The service here is also pretty good and the prices are very reasonable. Good service, GREAT steaks, and reasonable prices --don't pass this place up if looking for a steak. read more

We are locals who dine here several times a year. The food and the servers are very good. The manager with the bald head is not friendly at all and never even acknowledges us, but everyone else is always pleasant. I might give them 5 stars if they got rid of that arrogant manager and hired a better manager who doesn't only speak to certain customers. My family and I have decided to go to Duke's steakhouse next time even though it is further away from our house because we feel more welcome there and the manager is friendly to all customers. read more

Best food and best service to the one and only Shreya! Steaks were cooked perfect, mashed potatoes, pasta, appetizers are sooo delicious! Will come back again soon! Would recommend 10/10! read more

It was our last evening in Minden, NV and I wasn't sure where to have for dinner. Eric, than, brought up the dinner spot we tried to eat at the night before but couldn't because the waiting list was 2 hours. I was surprised, but intrigued because I knew this spot was pricey. LOCATION: The restaurant is located in Carson Valley Casino. It's a casino which looks a bit run down on the outside and in the hallways in which we accessed to head to the restaurants. I expected to walk through and around a lot of hallways and corners to get to this restaurant. To my surprise, it was easy as the sign clearly shows where to go. SERVICE: Reservations is highly recommended for this place. As the waiting list may be at 2 hours at the most. On our second attempt, we made reservations first this time and were able to get a table right away upon our arrival. Once we were seated, water was poured for us right away (I love it when they do that). Drinks and food took a minute, but was definitely worth the wait. Our water was always topped off and you know me and water (we're like best friends). INTERIOR: There are two(2) dining rooms. We sat in the second(2) one which was a step level. The ambiance was warm, pleasant and intimate. The lighting were warm in red, orange and slight yellow which softens the energy. The decor was elegant w/ cream wall paper, bricks for columns, well maintained booth seats and tables, and a cute light fixture that takes me back in time for a bit. FOOD & DRINKS: I ordered the Mine Shaft (aka Mahattan) and Eric ordered Tumble Weed (which was the Lemon Drop) martini. Which I have to say, were delicious. My clumsiness knocked out 10% of my drink, but I think it was a good thing because I barely finished it. Starting with the appetizer we had the Sampler Platter. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and cut, the crab cake was so fresh (the freshest and best crab cake I've tasted), hearty warm spinach dip w/ garlic bread (yum!) and the Ahi tuna was on point. Finally, my main course (after I finished the house salad), I had the Seafood Linguini which I have to say was perfect. It wasn't too salty nor too bland, but (just like the preschool story of The 3 Bears and Goldilocks) just right (I didn't feel like a fat cow afterwards). VERDICT: I would love to return here again for a lovely dinner. read more

Giving them a three star for good service. Our waitress really tried to make it a good experience but the food was just too bland. For the price it was just not worth it. Kudos to the server for trying. read more

Wow! Really, wow. What a wow-worthy gem here in the Carson Valley. I was stuck at Carson Valley Inn "on a layover", and I was getting hungry. I had just flown into Reno and done the drive to Minden, so I was hungry. And I decided to give CV Steak a try. Once I was seated, servers promptly came to my table to fill my water glass and take my order... And start me with a bread & butter plate! Wow. Not only did it arrive soon, but the bread was warm and tasted pretty fresh. So far, we were off to a good start. Then, I placed my order. My martini arrived, and it was both sweet & strong. The salad then arrived. It had iceberg lettuce, and FYI I can't stand iceberg lettuce. However, this was the only lowlight of tonight's dinner. The seafood linguine later arrived, and I was blown away. I rarely treat myself to seafood, so it was awe-inspiring to taste beautifully tender scallops and perfectly done shrimp alongside immaculately cooked linguine and a delectable lemon cream sauce. This may truly be the best dish I've ever had in Northern Nevada (so far). All the grub was so great that I just couldn't help myself. I had to try dessert! And wow, the gran marnier cheesecake was so lusciously rich, hearty, and exotically sweet that I had difficulty pushing it away! Yep, it was that great. All in all, my first CV Steak experience was a deliciously enlightening one. Again, if my only complaint is iceberg lettuce in the house salad, then that's hardly anything. Way to go, Carson Valley Inn! read more

Excellent meal, great ambiance and service. Good wine list as well. Will definitely be back.

Food is amazing. Our server Clayon was super nice and helpful with the menu. Also, Ian was amazing. Didn't go a second without water. 10/10 recommend to anyone in the area looking for great service and excellent food. read more

CV steak was a glorious experience. Our servers Hunter and Noah were fantastic. The food and drink were five star, and the Nevada Potato was spectacular. Highly recommended and looking forward to my next visit read more

I had perhaps the best lamb chops I've ever had. Three medallions attached to the frenched bones - serious perfection. The scalloped potatoes and perfect veggies were great. My buddy had the Chicken Marsala, and raved about it. He had the garlic mashed potatoes and said they were superb. The house salad was excellent. The only complaint was getting drinks. We ordered cocktails as soon as we sat down, and they didn't show up until the meal was starting. We ordered a second round, and I had to ask the waitress about the delay. All in all, a great experience, with super high quality food and preparation. read more

Great service, excellent food. I tried emptying my glass of water during my meal, and couldn't make it happen...the waitstaff was on it. I had the 14 oz. ribeye, and it was cooked perfectly and was very tasty. You know a steak is good when you even eat the fat. The parmesan and breadcrumb crusted tomato side was fantastic, as was the baked potato and salad included with the steak. For the total gluttonous experience I even had desert...the bread pudding...so divine. Will definitely be back, and would recommend CV Steak to my friends and family. read more

By far the best steak house around. We even ate at Hells Kitchen in Tahoe, that was a HUGE disappointment for my husband & my dishes! CV Steak is 100 times better than Hells Kitchen! read more

I've heard good things about this place and as a steak snob I pretty much turn my nose up until proven wrong. excellent service and perfectly done food. Definitely a top notch place to eat if your visiting Minden NV. I had Cisco as my waiter, if he's a true representation of their service I'll be coming in every trip this way. read more

We are a large group of Friday-night-out-to-dinner-goers. (six to eight) We have eaten numerous time at CVI Steak House and food is wonderful. It has been a favorite place to go for years. Last night we were informed that their policy had changed and they would not accomodate us with individual bills. This is a real issue for a group our size of both couples and singles, drinkers and non-drinkers. Until this changes, we'll find another place to gather. Such a shame. read more

Pretty underwhelming. It was a solid meal, but it didn't justify the price. For the price I expect a steakhouse in gardnerville to be exceptional, but this was just average. Not bad, but far from the best food in gardnerville. read more
