Walked in Memorial Day morning, place was 1/2 empty. Host asked us to give them 5 minutes. We waited to the side for five minutes. Saw two parties walk up to the host desk and get seated right away. Complained to the host, she blamed the computer being down, but then showed us to a table. Several tables looked not bussed. After sitting at our table for five more minutes with no service whatsoever (15-20 min total, 1/2 empty restaurant), left and walked over to the Cal Neva Top Deck and was served right away. read more

The service we received from Cristina was the best part of our dinner. She was friendly and helpful and offered recommendations for everything from wine to dessert. My husband loved his salmon and we enjoyed sharing the apple pie bread pudding with gelato. My only criticism would be that for the menu and the price, I would expect a bit more upscale atmosphere. I know it's called a cafe, but the menu was more dining room than cafe. read more

Gabe crushed it!! Awesome happy hr, he made my mom's night. Had the tacos and the pizza, so good!

We decided to come to Cafe Whitney for New Year's Eve! We've been here a few times before and loves the burger and brunch offerings, it's been a while since we've been here for dinner so we were excited to check out the butter poached lobster special we had seen on Instagram. My partner and I started by ordering drinks, I ordered the mountain mule which sounded delicious, a pre batched cocktail infused with cranberry in the mule and local Tahoe blue vodka. love that. my partner ordered the pessimist wine which was $12 a glass and loved that as well. I decided to order the Caesar salad and the butternut squash soup in the larger size as my meal, and he ordered the fillet, wrapped in bacon, and added on the butter poached lobster which were both the New Year's Eve specials. I'm pretty sure our server's name was Derek, and he was very kind and warm with us, he had no trouble explaining the specials and was very sweet and knowledgeable. The soup was our favorite, by a lot. We absolutely loved the red curry and sriracha flavors woven into this delicious soup and I would order it again and again and again. The Caesar salad was not my favorite. It had an overwhelming anchovy taste and whole anchovies included in the salad, the next most prominent taste was lemon and included thinly sliced lemons in the salad as well. there were maybe 1 or 2 croutons and one crisp of parmesan on the top. I would have preferred a Caesar with a creamier dressing and grated parmesan, but that's just me. Beware if you don't like anchovy, do not order this salad. My partner liked his entree, the lobster was his favorite. He commented that the potatoes could have had better seasoning, maybe more salt, and said that the flavor was good but the bacon didn't add anything. We really loved the lobster though! We decided to skip dessert as its New Year's Eve and we planned to go out to a few more bars afterwards. We always love the atmosphere at Whitney Peak! It was so nice that we were seated right away and the service was excellent. My only comment that's constructive about the atmosphere of the restaurant is that it was very cold inside and I draped a jacket over my legs just to keep my legs warm while I was wearing a dress. I would highly recommend this restaurant and we do plan to come back very soon for happy hour!! Lots of things on the menu we want to try, like the butternut squash parpadalle, the ramen, and the Korean fried chicken. read more

A Memorable Dining Experience Thanks to Our Server Gabe! From the moment we sat down, Gabe went above and beyond to make the evening special. Not only was his energy warm and welcoming, but his recommendations were absolutely spot on. Every dish they suggested was flavorful, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented! Gabe checked in at just the right times, made us laugh, and created a relaxed atmosphere that made the night feel extra special. It's rare to find someone who cares that much about their guests' experience! read more

Thanksgiving most places were closed so we ended up getting a meal here from our hotel. I got the vegan pasta and it was delicious! It also came with two pieces of charred bread. The SO got the duck flat bread, soup of the day was albóndigas and the cubano sandwich that came with a salad. Everything was well liked and ready in 20 minutes. The person who took my order answered all my questions and our meal came with utensils, plates and napkins. Definitely a plus when we come back and stay at the hotel. Everything was around 75.00. They also had a pre-fixed menu for thanksgiving. read more

Mariah, Thank you for saving the day! I appreciate your cappuccino that you make delish and made sure I received every thing I should with my breakfast voucher given to me because I had I to switch hotel rooms during my stay. I appreciate you having the cook mke me fresh potatoes that were original forgotten with my classic breakfast and re-do them because they were dried out looking and unappetizing. That's why I tipped you because you took care of me. The eggs and pancakes and bacon were delicious. YOU will go far! Thanks. Joyce United Airlines read more

Christina and Brian were amazing! Great service and delicious food! Brussels sprouts were the best I ever had and recommend the ahi tacos!

We were delighted to discover the amazing food at this charming restaurant in downtown Reno. The meals we had were outstanding. The salmon, shrimp chorizo pasta and the beef ribs create cravings!! Christina is the best server in Reno. She is so friendly and helpful. You will feel pampered!!! Happy hour wines are even better with that discount!! A quiet restaurant where you can easily chat and even glance up and get the score of your favorite game!! Go see Christina and dine in style. read more

The food was amazing! I had the street tacos and the Baja shrimp tacos were by far the best. Cristina was our waitress and she was patient, funny and super helpful with the menu. We ordered the caramel brownie with vanilla bean gelato at her recommendation. It was the best dessert I've had in a long time. I would highly recommend this restaurant and I will be back here any time I am in Reno. read more

I hosted a baby shower at the Bead room at the Whitney Peak Hotel, from booking to day of event the staff were great. During the party, Cristina was fantastic at making sure we had everything we needed right away with setup and throughout the night, and she was great coordinating with us including making sure our vegan and vegetarian guests were served properly too. She and the bartender, Paul, were great checking that we had everything we needed throughout the party, and updating us about the schedule of food, drinks, etc. would be served. The food was delicioua, the service was great, and we had the whole side of the restaurant for the party which gave lots of room for guests. I would highly recommend doing an event here and am grateful for how Cristina helped us host such a memorable baby shower! read more

Service and servers both was excellent . Very nice ambiance sitting is not so comfortable they metal chairs not so comfortable to eating according to me . My food experience was not so great I went on this Monday spend 60$ on food did even last 5 minutes I got sick food upset my stomach and made me throw up . It's just my experience I told server too they should compensate something or offer me food . But I am not expecting to be. I am still staying on Whitney hotel. read more

Good service. Nice atmosphere. Spacious. Good food. Reasonable prices and generous discounts for locals. Highly recommended.

Sunday breakfast for a large group was easily accommodated after our weekend stay. The breakfast portions are huge! I opted for the Granola and Berry Hotcakes and even the short stack was almost too much food! The granola was soft and flavorful, hot cakes thick and tasty. From the other orders, it looks like all of the egg dishes were just as good. Coffee was great. Service was excellent considering the size of our table. Highly recommend whether staying at the hotel or elsewhere. read more

Charming, comfortable but hip restaurant. It might seem unassuming but one look at the wine list and you'll see there is nothing average about this place. Drinks were delightful, fresh and unique. Service was hands down fantastic. Gabe went above and beyond - even working with the valet to retrieve my phone charger. But more importantly was his thoughtful recommendations - attentively asking what I liked and making perfect suggestions. His choice for me, the chicken piccata, was truly the best I've ever tasted. If it wasn't inappropriate I would have licked the plate. It was life changing! I will stay here again just for the piccata and whatever Gabe has chosen for me next. read more
