We ordered our food. I ordered the chorizo eggs Benedict and my husband ordered the smoked ham eggs Benedict. I also ordered a mimosa and my husband ordered and lagger. Once we place our order, they gave us a number and we were free to sit wherever we wish. We decided to sit outside as it was pretty busy inside. The food took much longer than anticipated to come out, it took 45 minutes for us to get our food. I had to ask one of the employees if I were food was ready. The food was ready. It was sitting waiting to be picked up by the waiter . We didn't have time left as we had to pick up our daughter from gymnastics class. We asked for a box to go, however, we did eat one of the entrées quickly. The chorizo eggs Benedict was my favorite. It was definitely the best. The potatoes were super crispy. The hollandaise sauce was to die for I really enjoyed that. Overall, the mimosa and the food, let's not forget the coffee cake, were really good. I am sure that they had delays as it was a Yelp event and it was super busy. I will definitely be back. I am looking forward to trying out their other food.

There were so many delicious options, all packed with incredible flavor. I also loved the concept of the event and the opportunity to connect with other Yelp Elites.

Great drinks to start the evening from the bar. They had whiskey sours and a margarita and beer. Thanks to the Lemon & Lime staff and Michael T for putting on such an amazing event.

If you are following, you know I have been hosting (and teaching my guests) how to ski. Well, one of the parents of the kids hurt themself so I was not able to make this event, sorry. But I came the next day to support. :) Quality/Quantity - I got the February special, You're A Peach Energy Drink, power tea. This was good. Make sure you stir before drinking it, otherwise it might be too sweet. Zero sugar, so it was naturally sweet. Vitamins and NO crash energy. Well, I also had a cup of coffee today, so let's see how this will work for me?!?! Atmosphere - Small local business. In the same shopping mall as Walmart, which I am a regular customer at... Several tables. Plenty of mall parking. Service - AJ was so nice and welcoming. He gave me a discount on my drink and the last two samples; thank you. He shared about the business and his future grand plans. Congrats on all your success and wishing you the best. I see that you have so many regulars here. Even when I came today, there were a few regulars in the lobby hanging out with the owners. Price - $8. Owner Comment - What, you have been here since 11/2023?!?! And I am now finally able to make it. Congrats on all your success and wishing you even more success.

I try to make it to most events. This event a lot of people avoided the more regular clustering up and chit chatting with their regular Yelp friends. Originally it sounded like we were going to be grouped up to check out each part of the event. I think things turned out really well with just letting people check out the venue at their own pace. I saw plenty of excited dogs getting treats and cats getting pets. The staff were all super friendly and very knowledgeable. People seemed to enjoy making the enrichment toys and decorating the hiding boxes for future kittens/cats to use as a hiding hole. I just recently adopted a cat a few weeks prior so the staff was excited to hear about my current success and asked to share with their media manager. I had fun and plan on getting into a volunteer orientation to come help out here in the future. Much thanks to the staff at the Humane Society and the vendors who spent time making sure we had some snacks to enjoy while we were touring the facility. And as always thanks to Michael T. For making another fun event worthy of 5 stars

We saw some of the kitties up for adoption and were glad to hear a lot had been adopted out recently!

So happy Reno has such a wonderful place for these pets to call home until they get adopted into their new homes! This facility is huge and so clean.

I was able to make some incredible healthy treats that are given each day to the furry residents - which by the way is an option you can volunteer to do! I was truly impressed--not only by the quality of the event itself, but by the incredible work this organization does for animals across Nevada and with so much love. Did you know they even have their own store and all your purchases go back to the Nevada humane society. Have you ever thought about getting more familiar with the Nevada Humane Society? Whether through adoption, volunteering, fostering, or donating, there are so many ways to get involved with this incredible organization. @nevadahumanesociety @YelpReno

The space and restaurant itself is absolutely gorgeous, which is no surprise since the owner, Jade, is also a designer. I couldn't stop taking pictures of all the beautiful features, lights, decor, etc. The service was impeccable and the attention to detail was impressive. The food paired perfectly with the wine selections and I was grateful for the patience of the sommelier who provided me with an opportunity to grab a picture of each wine bottle as it was poured. The heirloom tomatoes with burrata was the best I've had in Reno (paired with a Rose). Corn soup (paired with Chardonnay), and the most delicious, perfectly prepared crispy duck confit paired with an Italian Scaia Corina. Dessert was a decadent chocolate cake with ice cream (paired with a port). This restaurant wasn't on my radar until this event and now it's one I cannot stop talking about and sharing with others. I joined the Enthusiasts Club Membership after dinner and have already had the opportunity to attend an exclusive, member-only event with the President & CEO of Uncle Nearest. Thank you Grafted, Jade, and the staff for the incredible experience. This was one of the best private Yelp dinners I have had the opportunity to enjoy. Your commitment in providing a top notch experience and welcoming us into your family through the act of grafting is heartwarming. Michael, thank you for always working so hard to bring such incredible opportunities like this to the Yelp Reno Community. I am grateful for all you do for Reno's elite community and at large.

2018. Part 2 Two…read moreweeks really meant dividing the review into two parts. Over the weekend I stopped in at one of my most favorite places- SÜP, for their RBW special trio of soups and a mini loaf of bread for $10. They have participated all seven years. I get this to go, and it becomes lunch for three days. Always delicious. Not on Monday, I finally got to Moo Dang. I am such a wimp when it comes to spicy, but I still enjoy Asian foods. The RBW special was Drunken Noodles (zero spice for me) and a Big Chang Beer for $10. The noodles still had fabulous flavor and the beer I sent to another table- cheers. Wednesday was continuing the RBW dine with friends. Erica and went to Zozo's for their over the top $30 RBW special. So many choices !!! Probably the best bargain during the event. Appetizer, soup or salad, main, and dessert all for $30. Oh, and don't forget their very addictive basket of garlic bread. Yep, easily two meals here. See separate Zozo's review for all the food. So indecisive and running out of time. Thursday I ran up to Skyline Kitchen and Vine. $30 for an adult beverage, appetizer, main and dessert. Craving a burger, I did the 8 oz Kobe Burger, topped with caramelized onions, white cheddar, and a steak sauce aioli. Check restaurant review for full food description. Another busy Friday, but Claudy came up from Carson to try the RBW $10 lunch special at Chihuahua's on South Virginia across from the Lexus dealer. Plenty of food for the price. Chips and salsa arrived first. Then platter of a beef enchilada and a chili Relleno with beans and rice. The meal was good, but nothing wowed me. And the food chilled off rather quickly. That didn't matter because the waitress took my plate before I was all thru. Claudy and I ordered each of the desserts. Both were very sweet. The place wasn't packed during lunch, but I did feel rushed. Saturday!! Oh no RBW is over. The fabulous finale is always the Chef Showdown. This year 6 chefs who participated in RBW sliced, diced and sautéed against each other for bragging rights of the best in Reno. They an hour to create a vegetarian plate using butternut squash, couscous, turmeric and pomegranate. Mmm the aromas that filled the air. The best part is you get to walk around all the kitchens and see how they cook and ask questions. Brett Moseley won best use of ingredients and Joe Bell won best plating and overall WINNER. Congrats to everyone!!! Now after two weeks of having so many fabulous food specials with lots of friends- I'm off to the gym. See you next year. Or in any locally owned restaurant. Remember- Break the Chain, Reno has fabulous food.

It was two weeks of absolute fun as my room mates and I made an effort to visit as many restaurants as we possibly could. I already made separate reviews for all the places we dined at for the Reno Bites Restaurant Week, but just in case you missed it, we visited: Liberty Food and Wine Exchange, Chihuahua's Cantina and Grill, Skyline Kitchen and Vine, Sierra St. Kitchen, Moo Dang, Shore Room, and lastly Fin and Filet. Of course, I would have loved to try them all out, but there's only so much we could visit with work and what not. I love food and I love to eat. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert, I love them all. Not to mention there are countless restaurants and new ones keep popping up. With Reno Bites Restaurant Week, there are those selected and highlighted restaurants advertising their specials for those two weeks, making it very appealing to want to try them out. I, personally, was able to dine at many restaurants that I always wanted to try out, but never got the chance to. It was not just the food, but the experience as a whole. For those selected restaurants, it was great exposure and they were able to showcase a little taste of what they were about. And for us, it was fun and delicious experience. Unfortunately, we missed the Chef Showdown because we were out of town for the weekend. But, there's always next year and many years to come. Overall, this being my first ever Reno Bites, I have to say I loved every minute of it. Prices were very affordable and the foods were all so tasty. Sad to think we'll have to wait a whole year until the next one rolls around, but when it does finally come, I'll be ready!

We had FUN with one another via Zoom by introducing our special guests that joined us that day - LOVED seeing Yelpers that we are unable to see in person - all the smiling faces brought a little sunshine our way. We had a BLAST as Vania and her Mother directed us on how to put our sheetmasks on since we had a bit of a challenge with the Bro Masks for the guys in our fambam. We learned that if the men have facial hair that they put it on their neck instead (see pictures). Everyone danced around as we enjoyed the self-care portion of the Yelp FUN event. Papa and Granddaughter showed off her Prude & Boujee Ducky that we also learned that $5 of each one that you purchase goes towards a local college scholarship recipient - WOOT WOOT!! Anddd plenty of pictures were captured of the self-care shenanigans.

Volunteering and other support opportunities can be found at renoinitiative.org. Everyone including us at this wonderful event were having an excellent time as we moved around the ballroom. Silent auction items were placed in the middle of the room from golf clubs, mini-vacations, fabulous bottles of wine, exquisite pieces of jewelry and of course the wheel barrel of wine and beer that you could purchase a raffle ticket to possibly take the entire contents home. We bid on several different silent auction items and purchased several raffle tickets but alas we were outbid still knowing our money went to a very worthy cause. The libations, wine and food circled the outsides of the room and throughout the night we were entertained by the DJ playing popular tunes for everyone to dance too. We saw several attendees dancing the night away to the Electric Slide including some fellow Yelpers. Great night for a great cause, thankful we could attend and support this evening via Yelp - thank you to Yelp, Michael T. and R.I.S.E. and all the numerous sponsors, vendors and local restaurants that came out too!
