I visited Madein for the first time after reading about them in Edible Reno-Tahoe magazine, and I'm…read moreso glad I finally stopped in! I went for lunch and tried their 2 for $20 special, choosing the chilled celery soup and the Alpine sandwich. Both were delicious and full of flavor. My only suggestion for next time would be to ask them not to toast the focaccia. It was a little too hard to bite into, but aside from that, the sandwich was excellent. I also had the chance to try one of their meatballs with their house-made marinara sauce, and it was delicious. One of the things I really enjoyed about Madein is that almost everything on the menu is made in-house, with some ingredients sourced fresh from local producers. You can really taste the care that goes into the food. The service was wonderful as well. My server, Seirra, was very friendly and attentive. The owner, Shawn, was kind enough to come by and say hello and even walked me through some of the dinner specials. I also had the pleasure of meeting his wife, Marsha, who works there and was equally warm and welcoming. Overall, I had a great first experience at Madein and would definitely come back to try more of the menu--especially dinner!

This cute little Italian restaurant was recommended to us by one of my BF's coworkers, and while we can see the potential, it'll be a hard pass for us until they improve their kitchen pacing and service. We made a last minute reservation for Friday 6 pm (with the table being held until 7:45) and were seated promptly upon arrival. However, it took almost one hour and a half to get any of our dishes, and tables next to us were having similar issues, with one party only receiving half of their dishes (the other half wasn't entered into the kitchen queue correctly). We had to continuously check in with our server ourselves regarding our food, which was quite frustrating, although we appreciated how she ended up comping part of our bill. While we understand that she was quite frazzled and the restaurant was understaffed, I still think the restaurant would benefit from better staff training, especially during busy dinner rush hour. The food itself was hit and miss, but I was quite impressed by several of their seasonal items, which included a salad and lobster risotto (recommended to us by our server), and I hope they can incorporate it into their menu permanently. The squid ink pasta and crab linguine (also seasonal), however, were quite flavorless (and this is coming from a low sodium girly). Cocktails were alright as well, and I would recommend ordering from their wine menu instead, which includes several excellent Italian and local wine options.

I tried the Holidae Inn, and it was incredible like drinking a melted Dole Whip in the best possible way. Absolutely delicious! The bartenders were genuinely welcoming and made the experience even better. I also loved the indoor/outdoor seating, which creates the perfect spot to hang out with friends. Parking can be a bit of a challenge since it's in Midtown, but don't let that stop you. This place is absolutely worth the effort. I'll definitely be back!

Cool bar to visit once but I will not be going again.

The service was excellent, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere and aesthetic of the restaurant. That said, if we hadn't shared the Family Meal, dining here could get pretty pricey on an individual basis. Overall, it was a great experience.

The doors open into an pocket sized oasis right here in our own dry AF high-desert air; a dimly lit collection of tropical plants, puffer fish, ukelele music and aloha shirts. Its like a fever dream - the lovechild of Elvis Hawaiian movies and a trippy classic Disneyland ride, punctuated by neon and heavy cigarette smoke. The drink menu is extensive & eccentric. The establishment's proprietor, Dr. Shocker, perpetually clad in floral print and signature straw hat, is a fixture at the corner of the bar. He tells great stories. This is a true Reno hidden gem, and harkens to a simpler era of the classic Tiki bar, strong drinks, and living on island time. Go get drinks, get some samosas from next door...and get an Uber home. You'll need it.

We had several drinks and every single one was perfection! The bathroom is the cutest and they have the coolest speakeasy door that the employees use to get to the back (not for the customers). My rant..I'm not from the area so I had NO idea what this place was when I walked by. It looked cute so my husband, myself and child walked up the steps and they sat outside while I went to check it out and see if this was a bar/club/ restaurant. I walked inside and instantly got the death glare from an employee. I instantly said omg I take it this place isn't kid friendly.. he rudely said no. I wanted to clarify and confirm even outside ? He said no. I apologized and they left but the vibe and way he said it was definitely off putting. My sister and I decided to stay for a drink while my husband/child went to walk around.

I've been here a couple of times and haven't been disappointed yet. To enter, you need to go through the guest gate and check in. You can park pretty close to the clubhouse. A reservation is required and can easily be made by a phone call. Usually, there is a set three-course menu during Reno Food and Drink Week where you can pick between two appetizers and two entrees, and it comes with a dessert. The regular menu is also available to order from. From the times I've been here, I've gone with a co-worker and my sister and we usually pick each item from the set menu to experience both the dishes. Everything was delicious and the drinks were great. The server and bussers were also attentive and nice.

And when it comes to their events... drag bingo, drag brunch, and special occasions... they know how to create an experience that's fun, inclusive, and unforgettable.
