Great new atmosphere and amazing food to try in south Reno. Visited on a whim and we will be back! The server was very friendly and made several suggestions that did not miss. We enjoyed an interesting new take on pizza, traditional fish and chips and a lobster roll, all deliciously satisfying. The portions are quite large and more than fill you up. Thanks for the lovely afternoon!

Cook's opens in Reno!! Always on the lookout for Our next regular place we had to stop by. Meant to go for Happy Hour, missed it by 5 minutes. Thought there was gaming, not in yet but supposed to be in on June 15. So we had a couple of cocktails and dinner. Good menu with a lot of variety but we kept it simple. I had the spicy chicken sandwich and a salad. Very nice, good spice, good condiments and salad was great. My wife had the patty melt with fries - very tasty cooked to a perfect temperature. Service was great and am sure the place will catch on. Cannot wait to go back after they've gotten their legs fully under them. Definitely worth a try when on S Virginia.

We tried Cook'd for the first time last Friday and I'm really glad we did. Huge space, great service, live music, and the hockey finals made for a fun, busy atmosphere. I ordered the Caesar salad because I can never resist one, and this one is officially competing for my favorite in town alongside The Depot Craft Brewery Distillery kale Caesar. The dressing tasted homemade and was so good. My boyfriend ordered the Italian Fried Chicken, and I got the Tahoe Burger. The burger itself was tasty and the meat was cooked really well, but it wasn't my favorite burger in town. I wasn't totally sold on the toppings, the bun was a little dry, and I think it could've used more sauce. The Italian Fried Chicken, though, was seriously delicious and probably the standout of the night. Also - get this, HAPPY HOUR 7 DAYS A WEEK! We'll definitely be back to try their pizza next!

I came here for lunch and I really liked how they updated the interior. The service was great, the food came quickly (which is nice when you have a working lunch) and I enjoyed the food. This is on my list of places to go again.

New HUGE place with decent amount of TVs. Huge menu variety which isn't necessarily a wise decision. $19 for a pizza that is an odd size. It was larger than a personal size so too much for one person but not quite enough for two hungry adults unless you added a salad and/or appetizer. Fish and chips was good but nothing stellar. Chicken taco salad was well constructed, average portion, but chicken breast was way overcooked and over seasoned, almost too salty to eat. Service was good. Prices are no bargain but pretty typical for the times even for the strip mall location. I think they need more time to dial the menu in as it may currently be the definition of hit and miss. Pretty hard to nail such a huge variety of menu options. I'd also take 5-star reviews from early May with a grain of salt (but not as much as they put on my chicken) as early patrons "in the know" may sometimes be biased during a soft launch period. More time will tell.

New spot in town and it did not disappoint! Great location, great vibe, great spacious inside. Food was excellent! The Alfredo pasta was amazing and the buffalo chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Top tier stuff. Going back sooner than later. Solid bathroom situation as well. They have a patio but didn't get a chance to see it yet. Run w walk here!

What a nice experience we had at Cook'd. A new restaurant that is still in soft opening stage. A really nice location. They took over Napa Sonoma on South Virginia. Super lovely interior and incredible friendly customer service. Everyone was so pleasant and engaging. Menu is lovely and no real theme, just good choices. I ordered the fish and chips and it was very satisfying. One critique on the chips would be that a fatter, more unctuous French fry is my preference with fish and chips. To me that makes a big difference. Just like the fabulous fish and chips you'd get in Howth, Ireland. Other than that the fish was crispy, hot and Cod. Always grateful when they don't say Talapia! They serve their water in mason jars and it's a nice touch. Go check them out. You will enjoy the whole experience. P.S. don't pick their grapes!

Wow !!! Did I say Wow?!! Wow!! Service is outstanding, and I don't think I've ever said that in a review! Beginning with the hostess who was super friendly and inviting, to the waiter, Nick, who "took care of me" after a very long work day, and the soft lighting and subtle music. I was impressed! And I don't think I've ever said that in any review before either lol! But truly, that is impressive. It's beautiful in here, delightful atmosphere. The bar is hopping. I chose to sit in the dining room to relax before going home after a very long day. The bar is beautiful and they also have outside seating. Big screens to watch sports, and the volume is just right with the great music! This is the kind of place I want to visit with friends and family ! They have a wide range of delicious recipes; something for everyone; Today I wanted Italian. I'm so glad I searched yelp and found Cook'd ! Im going to take home some banana pudding! And lots of leftovers for lunch tomorrow, I'm full but I want to try their dessert too if I could give Cook'd a 10 star review , I would! Please come and try it out, you won't be disappointed! Edit! The banana pudding that I brought home is to die for! I was gonna take a picture, but before I knew it, it was all gone lol! The cookies that they put in it or have the perfect crunch in the soft creamy banana pudding I don't think I've had anything like it before. It was smooth creamy delicious! You gotta try it.

I wanted to try out the new restaurant so I made dinner reservations with my friend. For a new restaurant things went pretty smooth, the hostess sat me down and did a good job of greeting me and our server was nice and attentive. It seems like the restaurant is split up with a dining room and then kind of like a sports bar atmosphere on the other side. We both ordered sandwiches and mine was pretty good. My only complaint is that the onion should be sliced a little bit thinner or maybe grilled as they were pretty overpowering. The tater tots were cooked to perfection. Their menu had pasta sandwiches, entrées, and pizza so it was kind of a lot to choose from!

If we had half stars i would have rated this 3.5 but i am giving them the benefit of the doubt since they are new. At the end of it all i liked my dish and will be returning. I really liked the spaciousness and ambiance of the restaurant. Its not a bunch of tables all crowded together. There is space and there is a huge bar with a gigantic TV screen. Since i was having lunch alone i availed myself of the center seat at the bar. It was cool and being at the bar my drink never ran dry. I ordered the fish tacos, though i was wavering between that and the fish n chips. That would be an issue later. The fish tacos were good, not great. They had a thin batter (big plus for me) and were deep fried. The order came with 2 tacos with slaw in flour tortillas, and a handful of tortilla chips. I appreciated that you could see the fish and it wasn't buried in slaw. But the tacos just lacked flavor. They were good but more seasoning would make these stand out. Something like a chipotle crema or something. There were several shortcomings with the lunch: - it took almost 50 min to get my meal. Granted they had a lot of patrons but were by no means at full capacity. I think they screwed up my order and had to resubmit it. They brought a fish n chips out and asked everyone at the bar who it belonged to and no one claimed it. I had a sinking thought that my order might have gotten input incorrectly. After a guy next to me, who came in 10 min after me got his food 5 min before me, then i knew they remade it. I wished the server would have fessed up to that instead of making me wait almost an hour. - the fish helping seemed to be on the small side. The fried filet did not extend the length of the tortilla. And the tortilla was flour, which i like, but typically fish tacos are served on corn tortillas. - i had a coke in this massive canning jar which is kind of cool at first but it loses its charm when you have to tilt this up and drink from a threaded jar without drooling soda down your front. I'm not a straw guy and honestly once the jar started sweating it almost became a two handed hoist to make sure i didn't drop the glass. - there were several orders that were coming out and going to wrong tables. The kitchen seemed to be on point, but getting the right dishes to the right table is still a work in process. Luckily i was not in a hurry at lunch today. I saw several other things on the menu i want to try. Expect about $30 for typical lunch entree and drink so it is not inexpensive. But i will probably put this place in my once-a-month rotation.

This used to be Napa Sanoma and we dined there sometimes then they had a fire and closed for good. So, Cook'd took their place and I am sooooo glad they did. We were greeted by very friendly staff and we were able to choose where we wanted to sit. We choose a table in the dining area. Our waiter, Nicholas, was very prompt and attentive. We started with the chips and guacamole. The chips were homemade and I think made from pita bread because they were not corn chips and they were very good. Would have liked more of them with the guacamole as we ran out of chips before we were done with the guacamole, which was fantastic by the way. Lots of flavor with just the right amount of heat. For my entre' I got the Artichoke Chicken served with a side of butter and garlic pasta. Although it was very good, I am not a fan of marinated artichoke hearts, I got quite a few hard pieces. The hubby ordered the Ribeye. That was served with zucchini and white wine rice. I had to eat the zucchini because my husband doesn't like it. It was really good and not over cooked. As for his rib eye, it was a huge boneless ribeye, cooked to a perfect rare (the way my husband likes it) and very flavorful. The only downfall to that was they had no straight horseradish. The owner came over and talked to us for a few minutes and was very pleasant. He informed us that gaming at the bar will probably be available by July. On our way home from Lake Tahoe on Mother's Day, we didn't want to cook when we got home, so we called and ordered a Meat Lovers Pizza to go. OMG, the best pizza. I loved the flavor, the crust, the sauce. I can't wait to go get another! I also read another person's review here that wanted a meatball sandwich without cheese on the menu and pasta no butter. There is no meatball sandwich on the menu at all and honestly you can go to over 100's of other places to get a meatball sandwich. One does not come here for a meatball sandwich. They do offer 7 other sandwiches that look amazing! As for the no butter on the pasta, one can always ask for plain pasta. I can really see this as our go to place from now on. Please, I'm begging you to try this place and welcome this family owned restaurant to our town.

This is the type of restaurant that Reno needs! What a beautiful and welcoming restaurant! The food is delicious! You can taste the quality ingredients in every bite and the attention to detail! Started off with boom boom shrimp, the sauce has the perfect kick! We shared lasagna and fettuccine Alfredo. Really tasty pasta. The sauces were perfectly blended. I can't wait to hear more people discover this place and support a local business!
