Bistro Napa is one of the few restaurants I return to again and again, especially when I have out-of-town guests. Every visit reminds me why it's one of my favorite dining experiences. Tonight, Bryan demonstrated how great service becomes truly extraordinary. He was attentive, genuine, and made our evening feel special from beginning to end. The food, as always, was top-notch. The cocktails were fantastic, the mocktails were just as thoughtfully crafted, and the bread is always a highlight. One of my cousins, who was visiting from out of town, declared this the best meal of his trip and Bryan even made one of his dining dreams come true with exceptional hospitality. Thank you to Bryan and the entire Bistro Napa team for another incredible evening. As a local, I'll continue coming back, and I'll proudly keep introducing friends and family to this iconic Reno dining destination. Every visit exceeds expectations. This version is warm, personal, and highlights both the exceptional service and the consistently outstanding food exactly the kind of review that stands out on Yelp. read more

Note to self - Come for HH only... 3.5 stars rounded up. Quality/Quantity - I see that all my HH experiences are 5 stars. Unfortunately for them and I, our main dining experiences are NOT 5 stars. Today we got the following: Complimentary Starter = Good. Shrimp ceviche. Complimentary Bread = Winner, we all loved the bread and had seconds! More bread than I usually eat when dining out. Sea Bass - 3-4 stars. My wife said she would have liked a little more lobster in her dish. Decent portions. Filet Mignon - Our guest barely ate half of her dish. She usually does NOT order steak?!?! She usually orders fish. But she said it was cooked well to her medium request. Pork Chop - Over cooked. Sub baked potato for $3.50 more. The baked potatoes were small, so they gave two. And baked potatoes were also over-baked. See pictures. Elk Chop - My buddy recommended that I try this. I was thinking between this or my usual ribeye or prime rib. The waiter also said to go for it. Sorry, I regret getting this. My dish was over cooked also. The waiter recommended rare, I asked for Medium rare but I think it came medium... Decent portions, but was not able to finish all my veggies. Lastly, my other buddy got the salmon which was also over cooked. And so small of a portion. Sorry, I got distracted and forgot to take a picture. Complimentary cotton candy for 6 to share?!?! Maybe give us two next time...? Complimentary desserts to-go, which was a perfect pairing to my morning coffee cup. No one had room for dessert. I had a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon to wash my dinner down. Ambiance - Nice restaurant in the Atlantis Casino Resort. I just noticed a private room surrounded with wine bottles. Next time I will see if we can request that room. Open kitchen. Plenty of casino parking. Service - The bus boy was good. The waiter was okay. Both today and yesterday, I feel that I receive a little attitude when I don't spend enough $$. See my Lake Tahoe Aleworx Yelp review. We are just light eaters (but i'm a heavy drinker, lol). Price - $400 + very generous tip. My buddy is very generous, 25%+ tip. So we all followed in his footsteps. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success. read more

I came here to celebrate my birthday and I wish the experience was better. There were a few issues with the main dishes that we ordered. The Kansas City Ribeye: I had split this plate with my husband and the server said that he'll have them precut the meat before serving. Big mistake. We saw our steak was sitting under the heat lamp for maybe 10-15 mins before it came to our table and once it arrived it came out really dry and tough to chew because the juices seeped out while under the lamp. The Steak & Frites: This dish was for my daughter and I had ordered it medium so that it wouldn't be too red for her. It came out medium rare so she couldn't really eat it. The Burger (To-Go): So we wanted to order the burger to-go for a friend of ours and I'm not sure why the server had put in the order the same time as our dine in-order because usually the server would put in the to-go order ticket before we would we be finished and have it ready by the time we pay. Our server told us that the to-go order was ready and under the heat lamp to keep warm until we were done with our food. That's atleast 30mins waiting under the heat lamp. When we gave the burger to our friend, he said the burger was really dried out. The only things we did enjoy was the calamari and the jumbo crab chowder. It was really such a disappointment because you pay so much money to dine here and you would think the food would be worth the money you pay for. Unfortunately that wasn't the case for me. This was my first time and probably my last time dining here. read more

The drinks are always great. No issues really ever. West is also a fun bartender. I wish the food menu offered a tad more Gf dishes, they've changed the menu quite a few times over the last couple of years and there are some things that haven't left, but I really miss a taco option. They were pork then they had shrimp or maybe the other way around but now none at all. They still have sexy fries which are yummy. They do have a gluten free crust for flatbread and when I had it the first time it was really good but the next two times it was undercooked. I also don't want pizza every time I come. It's still an excellent happy hour it's just a preference for myself and knowing what it used to be! read more

Decided to order to go and had some espresso martinis while we waited. The espresso martinis were strong and delicious. We ordered their mushroom flatbread and sexy fries. The mushroom flatbread was okay, but lacked salt or msg or flavor. The sexy fries were well seasoned and crispy. It would probably be a different experience had we eaten there. Go for the drinks - pass on the food. read more

I've been hearing about this place for yearssss It's hard not to call it "Napa Bistro" because that just seems easier to say but no matter what you call it- they have the best happy hour I've seen in ages. The bar gets full while the restaurant is simultaneously packed so come early and be patient. Yep- there is a wit for the bar happy hour- It's THAT good. At my age, I skip the drinks but the food was incredible. We tried meatballs, mushroom flatbread, and ahi tuna and ribs - super good!! read more

The most popular happy hour in town continues its streak by offering upscale food and cocktails at a reasonable price. I was a big fan of the wild mushroom pizza, the earthy goodness of the mushrooms on melted cheese is a winner for me every time. The calamari was perfectly crisp and chewy, and the sauce they serve with it is heavenly. We ordered a round (or two) of specialty cocktails to try: - Lavender Lemonade Martini - this was my favorite, perfect balance of sweet and tart. - Cotton Candy Martini - this was the prettiest and most fun to experience as it's served with a side of actual cotton candy that you stir into the drink. The kid in you will enjoy this very much! - Rose Martini - very solid and well-balanced flavors, it has a light and sweet rose flavor without being overwhelmingly floral. read more

I had heard that Napa Bistro had a good happy hour, but it wasn't until I finally went that I understood why people raved about it. We went on a Friday so it was busy from he get go and we had to wait about and hour for the first wave to start heading out. In the meantime we went to the bar and ordered drink and my experience started string here. I ordered a Samurai Sour and this is now one of my favorite drinks. There was four of us so when we were seated we decided to go a little crazy and ordered a ton of different things. You can see everything I ordered in my pictures but want to callout my top dishes, which is hard because everything was so good! But if I had to choose some as my fave for sure the Asian Ribs, Sliders, and Oysters were up there. The service was great. The bartender and servers were all great and made sure they would clean out used dishes to make room for all the food that came coming. And of course I ordered a couple more Samurai Sours. I would come back here just for the Samurai Sours but it also has great food so just worth it all around, and well priced at half off during happy hour! read more

My hubby and I returned to celebrate his birthday and Valentine's for dinner. Great service again! Our server actually recognized us from our last visit which was about a year ago! He was super polite and always great about checking on us throughout our meal. Bummed, but understandable being the day after Valentines, that they had run out of several menu items like their sea bass (my favorite), eggplant dish, and oysters. Also another observation and a little disappointing is that they haven't updated or changed their main menu from a year ago. Enjoyed the prime rib, mushroom flatbread, calamari, and seared tuna. The complimentary birthday strawberry shortcake and cotton candy was the perfect way to end our dinner celebration. read more

As delicious as I remember! The last time we dined here was a few years ago, also with a group. Seamless reservation and great service (thanks Bryan!) Our servers were prompt and well-informed - no complaints whatsoever on that front! The Faroe Islands Salmon was excellently seared, and the butternut squash puree paired oh so well with the pecans and pickled cranberries! For apps, you must try the grilled artichoke - silken mouthfeel bathed in savory aioli. Definitely on my "when in town" list! read more

If you've been looking for an amazing happy hour menu in Reno, definitely check out Bistro Napa within the Atlantis Casino and Resort! My BF took me here for their happy hour, which runs from 4-6 PM and includes 50% off their menu! We ordered 7 dishes and 4 cocktails, which came out to only a little over $100 (originally a $200+ meal). Every dish was meticulously prepared from high quality ingredients, although some were a bit too savory for my personal liking, with my favorites being the ravioli and steamed clams. The cocktails were VERY well crafted, and we really appreciated how our very friendly and personable waiter gave us great recommendations that were very tailored to our personal preferences. The tables were a bit small, but the service was very kind and attentive, and quickly cleared plates once we finished so that the table was never overcrowded. Featured here: Ahi tuna Lettuce wraps Steamed Manila clams Ravioli Meatballs Wagyu sliders Pepperoni pizza flatbread read more

We LOVE their happy hour. The jalamango is my favorite cocktail in town. Right now i'm loving their butternut squash and pumpkin ravioli on happy hour. I've been here many times and received the best service I've ever had here from Saphire & West. Saphire went above and beyond to recommend drinks and truly made me feel cared about & West went above and beyond with his service to truly give me what I was asking for, hands down the best bartenders! I'll be back to see them! read more

We usually go hear for Happy Hour from 4 to 6 pm when it is always crowded. But if you go for dinner, it is still worth it. The food is good, and the service is top notch. It's kinda good to try both happy/social hour and the regular dining to compare and contrast, but they are both good experiences. read more

I don't frequent this place enough. Having said that, it's always a 10 experience from soup to nuts. Well not the wait in line, but the rest! Got here in plenty of time and got a good visit in to include chatting with others in line that we didn't know. Service was typical, spot on with a smooth execution. Wine pours are beautiful and they always have my fave on the wine list. Food choices are super fun and main entree sized. We ordered ribs, thai wraps, prime beef sliders and a well done flatbread. Of course it was more than we could eat so a doggie bag was had. I'm so happy that in all the 16 years I've lived in Reno and frequented Bistro Napa "happy hour", it's never disappointed. Bravo to another fabulous time at the Atlantis! read more

This is THE spot for an excellent Happy Hour in Reno. Located on the 2nd story of the Atlantis Casino in downtown. It opens at 4:00pm M-Thurs. We went early (3:15pm) this past Wednesday and I brought a chair. Everything on the menu was half price. My recommendations include the sexy fries, BBQ Korean style ribs and grilled artichokes. Picture of bill attached. I also recommend dressing up a bit as it is a nice restaurant environment with great service. I pretty much always order the same thing. read more

Bistro Napa - Bistro Napa Restaurant at Atlantis Casino Happy Hour - New American Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Came in excited to try the prix fixe special for Reno Food Week. Pictures show what was advertised vs what we received. We left fairly disappointed. First course of Scottish eggs: eggs were cooked unevenly, some parts medium boiled and some extra hard. Heavy on the side salad dressing. Second course: duck breast was heavily overcooked, resulting in a high iron taste resembling chicken liver. Meat was very tough. Sauce for duck was extremely sweet. Side salad was heavily under seasoned. Third course: desert samplers. These were okay. I'd say it prioritized sweetness over quality. The samplers remind me of the kind of deserts you'd see at a lower-end buffet. Server was nice but very slow to take our order, despite the lack of a crowd. Restaurant comped part of our meal since the duck was unacceptable. While they handled the matter professionally, this shouldn't have been on the menu in the first place. I cannot stress enough how much I discourage visiting this restaurant. read more

Bistro Napa is always such a joy to visit. And remains one of our favorite restaurants to frequent. Our server was wonderful, polite and attentive for our entire visit. The restaurant itself was pleasant and clean with comfortable cushioned chairs. I had the chef's special flatbread, tuna and a half order of oysters. Everything came out very fast and fresh. The chef's special flatbread was a Philly cheese steak type. It was honestly just okay. We've had their other flatbreads and they are very good so I am basing my opinion off of that. The ahi tuna was the perfect temperature and had a perfect crust. As for the oysters... amazing as usual! The four sauces that come with them as well as a mini bottle of tobacco are my favorite part. Such a great way to switch up flavors with a variety of sauces. Can't wait to come back! read more

Social hour at Easter Napa is becoming a family tradition! We love the thrill of a hunt for a table and the great food and drink and service that follows when we snag one! Truth is my parents who live in Florida really love coming here when they visit and it really is a treat to watch the kids enjoy all of the delicious food in front of them. This has become a very special place for us and we have Sherwin to thanks for that. On the food side, we can't go without the Asian glaze ribs, fried calamari, woodfired artichoke hearts, and of course, the signature sexy fries. This time through though we had to sample some new items, including the butternut squash, ravioli, and the octopus and shrimp ceviche, both of which were wonderful additions to our array. When it comes to the drinks, you can't beat their selection of wine by the glass, which, of course they pour heavy, and I like to enjoy a classic cock cocktail like a Manhattan or an old-fashioned, which they also do really well. Facts are that the food and the service make this one serious five star experience that any local or visitor should have! Thanks for keeping it classy Atlantis! read more

We had a great experience at Bistro Napa. The ambience is beautiful and feels upscale but still comfortable and relaxed. The service was excellent from the moment we sat down. Our server was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, and the pacing of the meal was just right. We started with the skinny fries and the five cheese lobster mac. The lobster mac was rich, creamy, and indulgent without being too heavy. For dinner, we ordered the blackened Wild Pacific prawns, the Dungeness crab ravioli with pea tendrils, caviar, and beurre blanc, and the Bistro Cioppino. Every dish was full of flavor, but the cioppino truly stood out. It was packed with fresh fish, king crab, clams, shrimp, and scallops in a spicy tomato saffron broth that was comforting and delicious. We ended the meal with the crème brûlée, which was classic and perfectly done. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere came together for a 10 out of 10 experience. read more

We got the meeting room in the restaurant as we had a business gathering so there was nine of us. We arrived and they were incredibly friendly and professional. They made us feel very special as the table was already set beautifully. They brought out little complementary appetizers to begin. They also were extremely understanding of my extreme dairy allergy which I find challenging and embarrassing. They handled it with grace and definitely took care of me amongst the group. The food was delicious!! At the end, they even gave us a small pastry to go. It was a delightful experience!! Highly recommend!! read more

Forever impressed with bartender west, he created an empress gin gimlet cocktail that was to perfection upon giving him craft freedom. He is phenomenal and attentive and a good jokester if you have a couple dad jokes in your arsenal to fire back. The food was delectable, the oysters juicy and buttery and to die for (although I haven't had oysters in a year and a half since pregnancy and breast feeding). This was such a nice treat! Also shout out to Greg who made our experience extra enjoyable by offering not only service but also playful banter, what a guy and a joy. All around I love this place and I love the food and I love the staff, do yourself a favor and sit at the bar for your next date night and you won't regret it. read more

If you haven't attended any of the monthly pairings dinners at Atlantis Casino Resort Spa you are truly missing out. Tonight was a tiki theme, featuring cocktails from Planteray Rum as the food pairings. For me the star of the show was the coconut curry bison short ribs, followed by the first course, which also featured my favorite of the 4 cocktails served. I'm slightly allergic to pineapple, so I had to be a little careful with this menu, but I made it through unscathed! As always the service was impeccable. Next up on June 19 is featuring Rombauer wines. The menu just posted today and it looks ! https://atlantiscasino.com/more/events/rombauer read more

We go to the Atlantis a lot but we haven't been to Bistro Napa for a while. We were able to get a table on Monday and had a wonderful meal. My mom and I both had the bacon-wrapped scallops and it was an incredible dish. The scallops were cooked perfectly as was the bacon. They were served on a bed of "Potato hash" which is really smashed Yukon-gold potatoes, and included some delicious artichokes. The menu said there was truffle but I just expected some truffle oil like most places, but there were actually a lot of black truffles on the scallops. A nice surprise! They have some nice desserts on the menu but they give you a big bowl of cotton candy at the finish plus some banana bread to take home, so we didn't get the desserts. We did have some perfectly made Americanos though. Eddie was our server and he did an amazing job taking care of us. One of the things I haven't liked about this place in the past is that it is kind of dark. This time it seemed brighter in there, maybe because it was early evening and still bright out. But it is nice and elegant and a great atmosphere. One thing I'm not sure about is the drink menu - which is now on iPads. While it is interesting to read more about the wines, it's kind of a pain to use it, especially just for wines by the glass. I'd probably rather have a printed list. read more

Often a place for a nice night out or celebrating a special occasion. On this night, it was the latter for us, celebrating my wife's birthday with a few friends. The restaurant is warm and welcoming. The staff, whether it is the busboys or wait staff, are helpful and welcoming. Always ready to assist. We started our evening wtih some appetizers. Since the mains are generous in portion, we opted to order only the Calamari and Crab Cakes for starters. The Crab Cakes were solid. Prepared well with a rich taste of crab and served with a delicious, creamy sauce. The star of the first service, however, was the Calamari. This had to be the best Calamari I have ever had. The pieces were meaty, yet tender. The breading was crunchy, not doughy. The pieces were like chicken tenders in size as opposed to the the normal "ringlets" you often see. A true hit around the table. For the mains, there was a variety of both land as well as seafood based proteins. 3 of our guests, including my wife, opted for the Short Ribs. A solid choice served with a generous portion of Short Rib, served on a bed of potatoes and accompanied with some root vegetables. While a perrenial choice amongst guests, tonight the Short Rib was a little dry. Perhaps the result of the particular cut of beef. When accompanied with the delicious sauce, the meal was still delicious, yet with an asterick preventing perfection. Another guest opted for the Cioppino. Wearing a beautiful white blouse, this was a bold selection. :-) Our friend asked that the plate be "pre-shelled" otherwise the seafood is served shelled. The seafood was delicious and the broth was cooked to perfection. Yes, no harm befell our friends blouse. The final two dishes were the Shrimp with Crab Ravioli and Bacon Wrapped Scallops. First the Shrimp. My friend enjoyed the blend of flavors brought by the shrimp and crab filled ravioli. Served with Pea Tendrils and Tsar Nicolai Caviar, then accompanied by Beurre Blanc cream sauce. It was the perfect blend of flavors. On this night, I chose the Scallops. A dish I enjoy yet don't order nearly enough. The dish was served with 4 very large scallops, grilled to perfection and wrapped with the most delicious, yet sweet bacon. The tenderness of the scallops, with just a touch of char from the grill, complemented by the robust flavor of the bacon, with just a hint of sweetness was truly glorious. I opted for sauteed spinach, where as the dish is normally served with artichoke as the vegetable. The dish is served on a bed of Yukon Gold Potato Hash and complimented with a creamy Truffle-Chive Beurre Blanc sauce. We finished the evening with a solid round of desserts. My wife received the Strawberry Shortbread and the Cotton Candy, as a gift from the restaurant to celebrate her birthday. We ordered the Bistro Banana Split served with Bruléed Bananas, Housemade Cinnamon Ice Cream, Caramel Corn, Fresh Berries, topped with a Caramel Sauce. We also ordered the Apple Crumble Cake, a dish prepared with Almond Crunch, accompanied with both a Caramel Sauce and Chocolate Ganache, topped with a Puff Pastry Tuile. Based on how clean the plate was afterward, I would say this was a hit. I ordered the Creme Brulee. I'm a bit of a Creme Brulee connoisseur. Another solid delivery, the dish was flavorful, creamy with the right amount of sweetness from the sugar crust. Oh, I almost forgot, we also ordered the New York Style Cheesecake. This is one of the best Cheesecakes you can have, outside of Manhattan. You can also find the Cheesecake at the Manhattan Deli, adjacent to the casino floor if you are looking just for dessert. Another wonderful evening. Thank you Bistro Napa for making my wife's birthday celebration a hit. Well done team, well done. read more
