I'd ordered "the Cowboy" and it was better than described. Spicy and lingering taste of whatever yummy sauce they put on it.

Food: 4 Stars as it has been consistent and generous portions over several visits…read more Service: 3 Stars as during our last visit we needed to flag down our waiter for follow-on items. I have a yardstick, if beer and wine is ordered prior to the meal, seems very likely that a second drink would be a common-sense follow-up question by a thoughtful waiter. Nope, a simple draft beer and wine took abnormally long to arrive. And, I agree with the other observations that suggest "recognized guests" are more promptly attended to. Billing: 2 Stars as you'll want to check your total for an automatically charged service fee associated with a credit card. Admittedly, the waiter said they remove the fee if paying by cash, but nowhere on the bill is this stated. Think of how eateries have a statement on the bill about a default tip when serving large parties, so I know the technology exists to print this information. Why not be up front with your paying customers? My contacts in the food service industry continue to tell me that "cash is king". . . Fundamentally, the owners of Chop 40 are sitting on the proverbial goldmine as the unique atmosphere and setting, along with a unique menu set this establishment apart. However, the sub-part service is such a large distraction that they risk alienating long-time, Reno-area customers. Should Chop 40 loose it's kitchen skills, then it's game over!

We started with the sage and cheddar biscuits, which were wonderful, and the glazed pork belly with chili crunch with toasted cashews - the combo of the nuts and pork was really delicious. We then had the Niman Ranch pork chop and grilled steak frites. Pork chop came with creamy polenta, mushrooms, and a blueberry glaze - I'm hungry just writing about all this. The chop was grilled to perfection - moist (no pink meat) and nicely charred for the flavor. The glaze is a hint of sweetness and the creamy polenta is a winner. The mushrooms are an excellent compliment. The grilled steak was also cooked to perfection - medium rare. The flat iron steak is such a great cut of meat. The fries in duck fat were very good. For dessert, we had a chocolate masterpiece. The meal was well priced considering the location and the time of year. And while the meal was special, it was the service that really made the experience special. While being utterly professional, the staff is also friendly and on top of it. I regret I didn't ask the hostess her name, but she was excellent - filled our water glasses without being asked once, and asked if we would like clean utensils after our appetizers. Our server was also excellent. I'd have more pictures usually, but we were so hungry after a LONG day at Sand Harbor, we forgot!

They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and it's actually pretty spacious inside. We did have to wait a little bit to get a menu, but once we got one, we ordered our drinks and food. We got the Margherita pizza, and it was SO good! I loved how crispy the crust was. When you picked up a slice, it didn't just flop over. It stayed nice and crispy. It had so much flavor, and I was seriously so happy with it. I also got the Help Wanted drink, and it was really good too. I think I found my new favorite pizza spot! If you're ever in the area, I definitely recommend stopping by. I'm already planning to go back so I can try more of their pizzas and appetizers!

Old Town Tap used to be one of my favorite places to stop whenever I was in Truckee, but the last…read moretwo visits have been a disappointment. The quality of the food, and the care that used to go into preparing and presenting it, has completely fallen off a cliff. During my most recent visit this week I noticed that much of the kitchen staff seemed to be different from the team I've seen over the past few years. The pizza was genuinely disappointing. The crust lacked flavor, the toppings were sparse and it felt like something that had been rushed out of the kitchen with little attention to detail. Even the presentation was careless, which was surprising because this restaurant used to take pride in what they served. It's frustrating to see a place that I used to recommend decline this much. I really hope the upper management takes a look at what's happening to the restaurant because the Old Town Tap I used to enjoy no longer seems to exist.

Let's talk about the most important part - the food! My friend and I had Zucchini Sticks, Fish &…read moreChips, Tri-Tip & Mash Special, and Margaritas. It was THE BEST Tri-Tip I've ever had; cooked to perfection, with a tasty (I think) red wine reduction sauce. Not sure if this is served daily, because I couldn't find it on their regular menu. We were there on a Saturday. I do see on the menu that they have a tri-tip salad, and am betting it would be equally delicious. The fried foods were cooked perfectly too, the breading was light and airy, and they weren't overly oily. I've had far too many meals at restaurants where the chefs neglect to change the oil frequently enough. You could tell that this place used good quality, fresh oil. The drinks were a bit pricey; around $12 per shot or drink. The bar atmosphere is fun; there's unique stickers and dollar-bill artwork scattered around. The staff is down-to-earth and friendly. The food was very reasonable though. Considering 1 nasty fast-food burger now costs $10, I didn't mind paying $24 for the Tri-Tip that came with mashed potatoes and veggies; plus the leftovers fed me again the next day. Don't judge a book by it's cover - this restaurant is situated on tall wooden stilts (probably because of deep winter snow), and it looks a bit shabby. I can only imagine how the snow and wind take their toll on a restaurant situated on a mountain summit! The food, ambiance, view, servers, and bar completely make up for the lack of outward fanciness. Two staircases lead up to the restaurant. Am not sure if it's ADA friendly, and I forgot to check if there is an elevator. The indoor portion of the restaurant is enclosed with large windows, so no matter where you sit, you can see the beauty of nature around you. Outdoor seating is ample, and has fantastic views. Would be stunning to be there while the sun is setting.

Here is what we noticed: - Fun dive bar/restaurant vibe inside, a big place with a server waiting on the tables in the front room and a slew of extra tables in the back (just order at the bar). There were also lots of tables out on the deck. - Huge menu...and lunch specials too. - A fair selection of beers on tab, including at least one IPA and one Hazy. There were two canned NA beer options for my wife to choose from. - My wife and I ordered the BLTA sandwich and asked for the fries to be extra crispy. We also ordered the Taco Salad. Our plan was to split both. The sandwich was good, with tons of bacon but skimpy on everything else, and with bread that was pretty ordinary store-bought bread. The Taco Salad, was really good, with a homemade tortilla bowl/shell. The fries were good, but not particularly "extra crispy." - Service was great. Bottom line: Old 40 hit the spot after a morning on a nearby trail and in the sun, and it would also be great after a day of skiing, but it wouldn't necessarily be a place we'd go out of our way to visit.

Fries were great and loved the aioli dipping sauce. For my entree, I got the skirt steak with whipped potatoes and brussels sprouts. The skirt steak was solid, whipped potatoes were a little thicker than we expected, and brussels sprouts were fantastic and crispy. Tried some of the pork osso busco and it was alright. Pork wasn't that warm and the sauce kind of had airplane food vibes and wasn't aromatic. Overall food was a mixed bag. My main gripe is with our server John. He seemed irritated every time we asked for more drink refills, and even rolled his eyes at one point. He also didn't acknowledge us when we would express our gratitude. This made us feel very unwelcome and ruined the vibes of our dinner.

Alibi was a cool spot with awesome wall art inside their bar and in the adjacent dining area. You order at the bar and can choose either scene to enjoy your food and drinks. The dining hall was more lit and made a cozy spot to catch up with friends without too much loud noise. I ordered their seasonal Asian Wonton Salad ($15) with a sweet dressing and loads of cabbage, carrots, and onions, and it was a refreshing bite to pair with my draft beer. Drinks were fairly prices and had a great selection of local choices. If I'm ever back in warmer weather, would definitely enjoy checking out the outside patios.

I had quite literally the worst experience I've ever had at any establishment in my life at this…read moreplace on Thursday, July 9th. My fiancé and I were celebrating our ENGAGEMENT with a party of 9. We had been looking forward to this place for SO long and were so excited to spend an entire evening here. For VERY important context, both my fiancé and I were restaurant and bar managers for several years. Neither of us have ever raised our voice at anybody working at a restaurant, bar, etc. We are literally an entire crew of service workers or former service workers who are very respectful of the entire industry and its practices. When we walked up, the older blonde woman working the front was extremely hostile and rude from the jump. I was trying to ask questions about the venue, food options, etc before we went in, and she began barking at us for IDs immediately. Not a single hi, welcome in, etc. Just immediately aggressive. My fiancé, who is 27, gave her his Oregon ID. Considering this state is literally a few hours away, you would think they are fairly familiar with this ID, but apparently not! She began aggressively and repeatedly bending the ID to the point we sincerely thought it was going to snap it in half. Despite it being obviously real after looking at it under a light (Oregon has very specific and complicated patterns, it's widely known as the hardest ID to make a fake of), she said she didn't believe that it was real. We were a bit baffled, and insisted it definitely was. She asked my partner what his zip code was, and because we had just moved, he gave her our current zip before realizing she meant the one on his ID. She laughed and said "nope, i'm keeping this! This is a fake". She said because he said the zip code wrong, she wasn't going to give it back. At this point I got angry. I told her that 1. It is 1000% a real ID and 2. It is completely illegal to hold somebody's ID hostage. Her and her coworker got really defensive and told me to "just calm down" despite her continuously bending it and laughing. She kept saying "I'm allowed to keep it if it's fake" which it WASNT. It is completely illegal what she was doing. This is THEFT OF PROPERTY, so I was absolutely not going to calm down. My fiancé called his parents to hopefully get a photo of his passport to diffuse the situation. The older woman who was holding us hostage demanded to TAKE HIS PHONE and speak to his mom. She then grabbed it and walked all the way down the sidewalk, spinning around and giggling. It was one of the most bizarre things I had ever witnessed, and frankly, we believe she was intoxicated. Her coworkers looked incredibly embarrassed and wouldn't even make eye contact with us. She finally came back and we took the ID and phone back from her. She never once apologized for stealing our property, almost breaking it, and falsely accusing us of committing a crime. Not even an inkling of remorse. Just giggling. I told her how absolutely unprofessional and illegal everything she just did was. Luckily, we have legal resources that we will absolutely be exploring this week, because no patron deserves to be held hostage, have their property stolen, and not even receive an apology. Not only did RMU tarnish what was supposed to be one of the happiest nights of our lives, they lost out on thousands of dollars (that we spent elsewhere that night) from our party because their hostess had a major power trip. To make matters even worse, we had other folks join up with us later that night who also stopped by RMU and had equally unpleasant experiences. They all said that the same rude hostess was bending the ever loving life out of their IDs and being incredibly snarky.

I was in the process of taking lettuce pieces out of the dish and onto a plate, hoping to drain off some of the dressing, she said she was sorry and that was it. Oh, and then she did bring me a bigger plate than my bread plate to put more lettuce leaves on. Such a disappointing experience. She was very nice however when she acknowledge twice that the salad was way overdressed there was no correction on her end. My husband's pork chop was good and cooked perfectly. Not sure we will be returning in the future.
