Took friends for an early lunch. A bit windy but dining outside is the best. Views of the rivers, lined with beautiful flowers pots and planting areas. I ordered the soup and salad. The Clam Chowder was really good. Hot, creamy and full of clams and just a bit of bacon. I ordered a Ceasar Salad as the accompaniment. Nothing fancy but well executed with shaved Parmesan. My friend ordered the Cobb. Looked delicious. The ladies split a Turkey Sandwich and house salad. The Turkey Sandwich was moist, served on lightly toasted wheat. The service is always great at the Wild River Grille. read more

We came here for dinner on our first night in Reno. Great vibes, ambiance. Location was easy to find. The French onion soup was really great. The mussels were tasty but slightly grainy. And service was just a tad bit slow. But it was a nice place to kick off our weekend! read more

Visited the wild river grille for the first time ever in May for our anniversary to celebrate. The service took a while although it wasn't super busy as we did an early dinner. It was happy hour so not sure if that had anything to do with it. Since it was earlier it was nice and quiet and we were able to talk and enjoy our meal with great views. We were seated next the the window. The food definitely made up for the service. We tried the ahi poke, the crab cakes, the mushroom ravioli - this is absolutely amazing and a must try, and the braised short rib with mashed potatoes instead of the rice. It was all so good! The short ribs were cooked to perfection and just melted in your mouth. The flavors were sooo good. The mushroom ravioli just took me by surprise the sauce they make for that is so creamy and delicious. Everything was full of flavor. You can't go wrong with any of these options! read more

The perfect summer date night! We sat out on the patio which was such a wonderful setting. Service was great, waters were kept filled which is A+ on a hot summer evening. We started with the crab cakes, 100% recommend! They were absolutely delicious. For mains we got the short rib and salmon entrees. Both were super fresh, flavorful and sooo yummy! We saw other dishes walking by us as well and everything looked so good! We'll definitely be back. It is on the higher end side, but i believe the amount and quality of food we received was worth it. read more

We had lunch here and sat in the patio and although the river is nearby, you cannot see it from any of the tables. Our server was very friendly but overall service was slow on this busy Saturday. We shared the pork belly for an appetizer and were given a generous portion of tasty and tender pieces. We split the prime rib sandwich and not only did they plate both separately but we were given our own portion of truffle fries. Everything was delicious which explained why this placed was so busy! read more

I went to Wild River Grille for the first time last night. The food and service were stellar. Chris my server was attentive and gracious. The parking was easy and the old building the restaurant is in added to the ambiance of the meal. I highly recommend! read more

For many years, I avoided wild river grille as one of those places where a person with celiac could eat a Cobb salad. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they now have a large gluten free menu that includes almost every item on the menu! It truly felt like a luxury. We were seated outside. You would think on a hundred degree day that this would be unbearable but they've got a perfect shade set up that makes it surprisingly pleasant and dims it a bit do you don't have to wear your sunglasses during lunch. So nice! I ordered the Brie and pear sandwich, adding prosciutto and a side of sweet potato fries. The server was very friendly regarding my requests and drink refills were prompt. Everything was handled appropriately to avoid cross contamination and I felt fantastic afterwards. Can't wait to go back and try some other options! read more

Great for a nice lunch! Went with my Daughter and Grand daughter for a nice pre-spa day belated Mother's Day lunch! We chose to sit outside on a nice sunny day. Umbrellas covered the entire patio area and we realized it was a little cool with a breeze and were wondering if we should go inside when a server came and asked if we wanted some sun. We said yes and she put several umbrellas down and we had a nice sunny spot! Beautiful by the river walk so we were happy to stay outside! We started with a cocktail, they have many fun drinks to try, I chose a white wine Chardonnay which was chilled and smooth. My girls each got a cocktail I forget which ones but they enjoyed them! The menu has something for everyone and also a gluten option menu which both my granddaughter and I ordered from. We started with gluten free crackers with caprese on top which was a good start to lunch and went well with our cocktails. I had amazing shrimp tacos with corn tortillas which came with some freshly made tortilla chips and a salsa. All very tasty! My Granddaughter had a BLTA on a gluten free bun and my Daughter chose a nice Cobb salad. We were all happy with our orders and great service today! Definitely will be back soon!! Parking easy either on the street or by the Pioneer center across the street. read more

Our first experience of Wild River Grill was just okay. We ordered the Mint/Melon mocktail,Wild River Salad and the ribeye. The mocktail was delicious and not overly sweet. The salad was okay; I think it needed more toppings. The ribeye was tender, but lacked flavor. I would try something entirely different next time as this dinner was lack luster. On a positive note, the staff was amazing. They were able to seat me ahead of my reservation time and the server was very attentive. read more

First let me preface how much I love the food at this restaurant as well as the location. This is the second year I went to her for mother's Day. Mind you brunch for my daughter, husband and is over $100. Last year we had an issue with a brunch, I emailed the restaurant and received a $40 gift card due to the issues. Since then we've had dinner there a few times and no issues. We went today for mother's Day with a 10:00 a.m. reservation. While being served our water the bus boy accidentally spilled the water all over the table and my husband, which is not an issue because accidents happen. Nonetheless when I did happen my husband asked a male employee, who we thought was a manager, for a towel. We received the initial parfaits and pastries and by 11:00 a.m. we still have not received our food so we chose to leave because we were hungry. My husband went and told that same male employee that gave him the towel that we were leaving because it was taking exceptionally long. Not only did he not offer to go check and find out what's going on with our food, he charged us for the drinks (which is fine because we did have them) and sent us on our way. Super disappointing that this is the second mother's Day in a row that this restaurant has failed with their very expensive brunch. read more

Ambiance is really nice as outside seating is along the river. Service very good and friendly. Food was a bit disappointing as on the bland side. Had the trout with couscous and lacked flavor. Brussels sprouts were good but greasy. The wild grille salad had all good components but dressing didn't pull it together. The wedge salad was bland. They need to pick up the flavors read more

Wild River Grille has been one of my go-to spots for years! I first discovered it while visiting home, and now that I live here again, I get to enjoy it as often as I want! Their menu is full of delicious options, and I've tried quite a few. Some standout favorites include the crispy brussels sprouts, the flavorful meatloaf, the tender elk medallions, and the indulgent mushroom ravioli. However, I wouldn't recommend the beet chip salad--it's the one dish that didn't quite meet my expectations (which says a lot since I'm a huge fan of beets). The service is consistent, and the ambiance is versatile--perfect for happy hour, a girls' night out, or even a cozy date. read more

I made a reservation, and then day of they called me to confirm...which I appreciated. Showed up a little early and was still able to be seated quickly (sat inside but there is an outdoor seating option). I didn't order any appetizers, just a main dish with water. I got the spicy shrimp pasta with garlic bread. It's pretty good but I thought it was on the mild side. But then again, I eat ghost peppers once in a while so I'm used to hot stuff. Definitely a place worth checking out. read more

Fantastic find right on the river. We had a few hours to kill before heading to the airport and found this little gem. Indoor or outdoor seating with a great ambiance. The Bruschetta was delicious and don't miss their fries: Extra crispy and very tasty. Service was impeccable (Promise, the bartender, was wonderful). If we're ever back in Reno, we'll be sure to come again! read more

We visited Wild River Grille for my partner's birthday, and it was great! Our server, Tyler, quickly and diligently addressed an issue we faced with the outdoor seating (aren't swarms of ants great?). The food was good, and we even got a free birthday dessert. Price weren't too crazy, either. The Po Boy was massive, great portion. Will definitely be back! read more

Great place for a drink and a bite right by the Trucker River & downtown. They offer a somewhat upscale but casual ambiance, and the menu featured some great choices for a cool fall day. They elk medallions with polenta and veggies were fantastic - I would call it the finer side of comfort food. Service was friendly and attentive. Parking was surprisingly easy on a Thursday night. read more

Date night. Love this venue by the river. We sat outside, which I normally prefer but it was a bit windy last night. I ordered the mahi mahi with roasted vegetables and rice. And my date, the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. Of course we paired our meals with wine. Both meals were really good. read more

Stopped here on our way to Tahoe and it was a great choice. The bruschetta was good but the bread could have been toasted more because it was soggy with oil and balsamic. The Cuban was delicious, melt in your mouth pork and cheese. The prosciutto sandwich was also very good. The pear complemented the salty prosciutto nicely. read more

Our waiter Chris was absolutely wonderful! Continued to check on us and fill our waters routinely. Our food came out promptly and everything was DELICIOUS! The ambiance was very nice and enjoyed having the baseball game on. Also outside they had live music. My fiancee and I shared the seared scallops 10/10 and I ate the pork chop which was delicious, my fiancee had chicken piccata and it was 10/10. Overall great experience, can't wait to come back! read more

My family and I enjoyed brunch at the Wild River Grill, on Mothers Day. It was a beautiful sunny day! The place was very busy, but not completely full. Things could not have gone better! Truly, I could not think of anything I would change about it. The special menu, although a bit limited, still offered desirable choices for each of us. The service was delightful. I was given a couple of roses and a little souvenir photo. Standouts: fresh fruit, a yogurt parfait, excellent smoked salmon on my bagel, spinach salad with feta and strawberries, a beautiful raspberry sorbet. This restaurant is definitely a favorite for my family. Thanks to everybody at the Wild River Grill! read more

This was our second time here, I ordered the elk medallions and the wife ordered chicken Marsala. Both were cooked excellent and the flavors were amazing. Also the drinks were delicious and made very well. We will be back for sure and telling friends and family about this place. read more

After pivoting from the Stone House Cafe for reasons I will not disclose, we ventured to downtown, riverfront area in Reno to try out this place. It was a little too warm to sit outside so we ventured inside for seating. The interior is cozy with industrial yet tavern vibes. The service was good. The music was great. The food was mediocre at best. The hummus dip was tasty. The Brussels was interesting with a tomato and prosciutto (thick solid pieces I misidentified as bacon by just the appearance) mixture. Not a fan at all. The shrimp tacos were basic, nothing to write home about. Dont get me wrong, the food was not bad... just not a great match for our palates. Not worth a repeat when we return to Reno. read more

Nice place right on the river! Was up in Reno last weekend and have been dying to check out new places not in the casinos and stumbled upon this one. Looking at the menu online seemed good so came in for dinner. We were sat outside right on the river as the sun went down. The ambiance was perfect! I started off with a nice cold cocktail named the "feelin blue-tiful" which was vodka with blueberry simple syrup, orange infused brandy muddled basil and lemon juice. It was a refreshing libation after a hot day spent at the downtown Italian festival. So good I had to have a second. For dinner I ordered the grilled porkchop with rice pilaf and green beans. The pork chop was good but kinda dry and the topping wasn't my favorite either. The rice was really good and the green beans were kinda just plain. Overall it wasn't bad but wasn't great. For dessert I had an espresso martini that was a little sweet for my liking but was still good. Overall it was a nice restaurant to end the trip with! read more

Popped in on a rainy Saturday afternoon and pleasantly enjoyed lunch with friends. We were seated immediately and our server was attentive and friendly. Our drink order was taken and arrived promptly. They had a few local drafts on tap so I opted for the Honey Blonde which was great. I chose the Beet Chip Salad with chicken for my meal. The beet chips were amazing and I could have devoured an entire plate of just those. My salad was flavorful and although the chicken was a bit over cooked it was still good. The restaurant was clean as well as the bathrooms. read more

We have a new favorite seafood place! One of the best dinning experiences of the year. With street vibrations, we thought it would be difficult to get a place downtown to eat. My wife had been at Costco and she got some gift cards for this place. She went online and used open table. She found they had a few openings at 6 PM to 8:00 PM. We made reservations earlier in the afternoon for 7:15. Again we weren't sure how the parking was going to be, so we ended up heading out early in case street vibrations caused everything to be backed up. We arrive 6:30 PM, went to the podium and let them know that we were actually a bit early. Emma, The host at the podium checked through her tables and said she could actually fit us in early. The place was packed. I had no idea how large this restaurant was. They had outdoor seating, bar seating and then a dining room seating. They also had live music outside on the patio. After we sat, Danny came up and offered us some cocktails. I went with the Riverside margarita, my white got the Razz. Danny was very professional and friendly. I usually get a little picky at restaurants, I mean you want what you want right? Danny was very accommodating. The first thing, I don't like real sour margaritas so he offered to add Something, I just had him make it with part orange juice. The second thing, I didn't think there was enough Grand Marnier, so he went back and got a little bit on the side. The drinks arrived and they were awesome. I put in for a couple of appetizers and then we sat back and enjoyed the atmosphere. Lots of hustle and bustle but things were moving quite fast. What we ordered: Riverside margarita The Razz Grilled octopus Scallops Seafood risotto Mahi-mahi Again, I don't eat starch much at restaurants, and so Danny offered double vegetables. When it came back, I thought I didn't look like double, Danny said no problem, and we got some green beans. As I said he was so accommodating. it took a little bit for the food to arrive, but as I says this place was packed. The presentation of the food was beautiful. The food was absolutely amazing. Danny, our server, made the whole experience quite wonderful. He never made me feel like any of my extra requests were a burden. He checked just the right amount of time to see if we needed more cocktails, checked on Nicole and her food, and asked us if we wanted dessert. Even Emma, the hostess that accommodated us early was was just so friendly. Considering how busy this place was, that was quite refreshing. As I stated at the opening, this was one of the best dining experiences of the year. We plan to frequent this establishment! read more

My trip to Reno concluded with a visit to the Wild River Grille located off the infamous Trucked River. I ordered the mushroom raviolis, and scallops. our server Casey served our dishes, hot and in a timely manner. Both dishes were very tasty and filling.

My family and I had dinner here for Memorial Day. The place has great lighting but it can feel cramped. There was a bit of a delay with our orders being taken. Fortunately, we were seated directly in front of the TV. Despite that, the service was still good and the server was friendly. The food was satisfactory and the portion was just right. Although, I wished the meatloaf had a little more flavor. The sauce helped but there wasn't enough. On the contrary, the small plate of seared pork belly was packed with flavor which surprised me for an appetizer. If I ever return, I will probably make two orders of it. read more

WOW, what a great restaurant. We came around 6 pm and were able to sit outside. Almost all of the tables are in the shade so it is very comfortable. We had Danny as our server and I can not thank him enough. He was just amazing! My husband picked the price fixe menu. He had shrimp cocktail, cream of asparagus soup, elk with mashed potatoes and veggies and a lemon/blueberry cake for dessert. This was $57. I can not eat heavy cream or any milk products. There was limited selection for me, however Danny and the manager (Sorry I did not get his name) took care of me. I ordered the wild mushroom ravioli and they left the sauce off the plate. Surprisingly it was still very good. We also had the jalap-in-yoo margarita and I had the Mint to Say Mocktail. Both were very good. I just want to thank Danny again. He was so nice and accommodating. Please ask for his section when going read more

Located in downtown Reno by the river. They have a lot of seating: indoor/outdoor & super spacious. They were replaying the Olympics while we had lunch there. Crab/salmon cakes were so delicious. Def get that for an appetizer. The spinach/artichoke flat bread with chicken was huge! And it has fresh big pieces of artichokes :) the chips are homemade as well. The salmon didn't taste that good, so skip that one. I love the strawberry lemonade, not too sweet! Higher prices but worth it for the fresh ingredients read more

I love that the outside patio has a nice view of the water and that it is dog-friendly too. I ordered the burger and the pomegranate lemonade. The lemonade had a good tartness to it. I'd wanna try other flavors next time. The burger was pretty big and they gave a good portion of fries. I ate half of the burger and fries and got to save the other half for my meal later. Sure there prices might be a little bit high, but I got 2 meals out of it. My dog also enjoyed the fries. I'd definitely come back and with my pup too! read more

Wild River Grille is one of those restaurants that has been here for many years and in the same location. Why, because their food is consistently good and they are in a great location on the Truckee River in the heart of downtown Reno. Plenty of outdoor seating with lots of umbrellas for when the sun is really hot. Enjoy your food while watching the river. Also plenty of indoor seating. Staff is friendly. Service is good. Nothing to complain about. Today I chose a BLTA and my friend Nancy V chose a Brie, Pear and Fig Jam sandwich .. we traded and each had half. Rob V chose the Filet Cheesesteak ... cut play on words, half of which will be my lunch tomorrow. read more

Fresh seafood and outdoor eating at its best! Wild River Grill offers a relaxing patio where you can soak up the atmosphere without the sun, and your dog can enjoy it with you. The menu has everything you could ask for, from crispy brussel sprouts and truffle fries to fresh ahi poke and their signature sandwich - the gambling pig - a sweet, smokey sandwich that brings the heat. But it doesn't stop there. When I think of Reno, I don't think of fresh seafood, but Wild River Grille has it all - salmon, mahi mahi, trout, shrimp, and surf and turf. It's located on the river walk, which is perfect for going on a nice walk right after or before eating. read more
