    Vaquero fries with asada
    Alice W.

    Nice location right in the center of Reno. Service was lovely ~ our waiter was tom and he was so kind. Food was good. Took a bit to come out but quality was high. We got the - Vaquero Fries with Asada: overall pretty good flavor overall. The asada itself a bit bland but dish was still good with all the flavors mixed - Cobb salad: refreshing and healthy and chicken add on was a decent size

    Left is the Custom Martini and right is an espresso martini.

    Jeffrey is hands down one of the best bartenders we've ever had! Every time we visit Reno, we make it a point to stop by because we know we're in for an amazing experience. I usually order his perfect espresso martini, but it was a little too late for all that caffeine. Jeffrey took the time to ask what flavors I was in the mood for and created a custom martini just for me. It was made with brown butter bourbon, chocolate and sea salt caramel liqueur, and finished with dark chocolate and caramel syrup. It sounds like it would be overly sweet, but it was perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious. What really sets Jeffrey apart is that he genuinely listens and loves creating the perfect drink for his guests. His friendly personality and incredible attention to detail make every visit memorable. We always look forward to seeing him whenever we're in Reno. If you have the chance, let Jeffrey make you a cocktail--you won't be disappointed!

    I am so impressed with the quality of food here. And it was affordable and it was easy to get a table. The ambiance is work coctail type attire. We all really enjoyed our meal. There is a great diversity of food with us ordering everything from steak, burger and pasta dishes. All of it was very high quality. The service was fantastic. If you are going to a show in downtown Reno, cafe Whitney is a great place to go.

    Had a nice late dinner with the Mrs. on a Saturday night before a concert at Cargo. We had some apps and draft beers because we didn't want a big meal. The bartender was quick to serve us and the overall experience was great. The dining area is nice, it wasn't very crowded. The bar seating area was nice and comfy. I'm looking forward to coming back soon for a nice meal again when we have more time, the menu looks like it has a lot of good options to try.

    We walked here for breakfast into a beautiful restaurant. The decor and natural lighting was beautiful. The service was good as we walked in right at the end of breakfast and they still let us order breakfast items. The food was just okay nothing amazing but they did have good portions.

    We loved it! It was walkable from Caesars Row. We were quickly seated and split the turkey club. The chef was thoughtful enough to split it for us and it came with shoestring fries. It was very tasty and perfectly put together. Definitely worth a visit.

    Food was just so-so. Ask for "real eggs" if you want scrambled eggs. Not horrible but nothing to write home about either. The fellow that sat us was exceptional and got us our drinks. We saw our waitress one time to order and she never came back. Someone else from the kitchen delivered our food. Not bad but wouldn't return

    Great food and service! Love the look of the restaurant that feels Classy, fancy, but not "hoity-toity". Didn't need reservations and was sat right away. Has large tables, so great for larger parties. Great spot to eat or drink before a show at Cargo and has a locals discount. Fair prices and the food met my expectations. Open slightly later than other restaurants downtown. Highly recommend and I will be back.

    Been awhile since I last reviewed Cafe Whitney. An update is in order. We have been back a number of times since it is a block from home and is a good spot to go when we don't feel like cooking. We came recently to get a bite before going to a show knowing that they are usually very quick in getting orders out. I had the pasta with sausage and a good not too sweet mocktail. My husband had the roasted half chicken. Both meals were good and portions were generous. The service was good, orders taken and food brought out in a timely manner. They were not very busy and most patrons were at the bar. It is a good neighborhood spot for a nice meal.

    Breakfast burrito with chorizo
    Jeff V.

    First time dining here for brunch. They had some good options on the menu and I ordered the breakfast burrito with chorizo. This was definitely on the larger side and barely finished it. They do offer bottomless mimosas as well, so that's a plus! I would come back again for brunch. I'm a big fan of their happy hour as well. Several cocktails and appetizers are half off!

    Scored a last minute Thanksgiving reservation here last night. The place was delightful, staff friendly and overly accommodating. Our server crafted a special mocktail for me since I am sober. Valet service was a pleasant surprise as well. I chose the Thanksgiving meal with pork and the gingerbread cookie. The food was delicious, I was not surprised. The restaurant is delicately decorated, and gives off an upscale vibe in a quiet way. The staff were extremely attentive checking in with us more than necessary, making sure we had everything we needed. Unfortunately I forgot to take too many photos, so I'll attach the few I have. Thank you Cafe Whitney and staff!

    Good food and friendly service. The ambiance was comfortable and relaxed. Food was delicious. My picky eater son didn't really feel the pancakes but that's kind of on him as he is kind of spoiled to home made food by mom. Great vibes and California dreaming. 4.2 stars rounded up because it's spring break! Let's goo!!

    Beautiful dining room

    We went for breakfast on Saturday and were able to get in quickly. Staff were efficient and friendly serving us right away. Breakfast menu isn't big but should have enough options for everyone. The portions were decent size and none of us were disappointed. Recommend the Bloody Mary which usually comes with a slice of bacon, so let them know if you don't want it.

We were immediately impressed with the ambiance and our server who was super friendly as well as knowledgeable about the menu. She made great recommendations, let us taste the wine to ensure it was a good fit for us, and made sure we were taken care of. The pizza is an Italian style with thin crust that is less cooked than a typical American thin-crust pizza. All the ingredients were fresh and the menu was obviously crafted with care. We tried the Cherry Picker and the Espana which were both unique combinations that were well balanced and flavorful. To drink we tried the Lambrusco, a fruity but not sweet sparkling red wine, and the Hugo spritz which was very well executed. For dessert we had the Cioccolato Budino which was a dense, creamy and rich mousse covered in caramel chocolate cookie crumbs and homemade whipped cream. My only complaint is that I shared instead of getting my own.

    Pizza Collective is still a hidden jam in downtown Reno!…read more From a small wood fire oven a tiny team cranks out some picture perfect Neapolitan style pizzas. It's clear they focus on quality from the dough to the sauce to the cheese to the toppings and they put in a healthy dose of passion, fun and love too. It's been a minute since I've stopped at this place but western lights festival brought me downtown and this was part of my plan from the go. I was excited to see that they added woodfired chicken wings, one of my personal favorite dishes anywhere and had to order them and these is absolutely did not disappoint and I'll be back for them again and again. Sometimes it's tough to get a really good crispy chicken wing out of a woodfired oven but this team nailed it in there, buffalo Parmesan sauce was divine, especially with a little bit of the house made ranch. The pizzas were also good, but I didn't like that. They served them in paper takeout boxes because even the short trip from the cutting table to us in that box steamed the pizza and made it super floppy. Toppings were sliding right off the pepperoni pizza we had and it just wasn't the best pizza experience Of the white pizza we tried with spinach and roasted garlic was awesome. I don't wanna held up a little better maybe because it didn't have sauce and the roasted garlic was perfect. Staff is super sweet and accommodating menu is diverse and interesting in and the vibes of West Street market are great for a date or a group so put this one on your list.

    I had not been to West Street Market in ages. Everything in there is completely different from what…read moreI had known before. Yet, still interesting and delicious. We grabbed food from the Pizza Collective. The wood fired wings, a pizza, the roasted cauliflower, and a glass of wine came to about $70. A bit on the high end but the portions were good. Props to the wine pours, you definitely get your money worth on that. The highlight was the wood fired wings. While not even remotely crispy, they had an interesting wood fired flavor and the buffalo sauce was very tasty. I enjoyed how tender they are and didn't miss the crispiness because the tenderness was on point. The pizza was good, but the dough was slightly undercooked in places. Wood fired ovens can be tricky and it seemed like it got the best of them today. The service was friendly. Everything came out fairly quick except for the cauliflower. They told us it would take awhile, but we ended up being finished with nearly everything else before they got the cauliflower out. West Street Market is a cool space to hang inside or out. I did notice a more run down vibe than in the past, but its still a comfortable place to enjoy some grub and drinks with good company. Give the Pizza Collective a try if your at West Street Market anyway. They have lots of good choices, including vegan options. But keep in mind there are other options. Doing some mix and match might be your best bet here.

So in essence I got the slice I wanted even though she made the alteration! The pizza tasted really good. The crust is crusty on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside as a pizza should be. The sauce the right balance of sweet and tangy with just the right hint of a bite to it. The pepperoni has the perfect heat adding to the flavor profile. Yeah the pizza was great! In all essence my lack of enthusiasm was winched when the person delivering the pizza dropped it down in the table and walked away- no hello- no have a nice day- just plop and run. Then the fries had to be delivered later after we had to go to the counter and ask where they were- be patient- they will be there when they are ready. Yeah- not such a friendly vibe there so guess I won't be giving them another chance. Thanks for the great food but if you can't be decent when delivering my meal to my seat then it's a no brainer. Have a nice day!
