I saw them send several people away. That was appreciated. The food was good all around the table. I ordered the salmon which was a little bland. My boyfriend said his steak was also bland and a little fatty. Excellent beer selection, attentive service and great ambiance made up for the mediocre food.

Enjoyed a meal tonight at the Sun Valley Steakhouse inside Hobeys Casino…read more The dining room is dated and there is the faint smell of cigarette smoke in the air. Don't go here expecting an over-the-top fine dining experience. Reservations are required. But this was a reasonably priced meal with great flavor and good service. We grabbed a reasonably priced drink at the bar on the way in. We also had a bottle of wine ($30 Renegade Zin) with the main course. The prime rib came rare, at my request. My only complaint is that it was under seasoned. The texture and flavor of the meat itself was excellent. The sides were great. Both the garlic mash and green beans hit the spot. Finished it off with some desserts. Both were decadent and filling. This can be added to the list of mid-tier steakhouses in the Reno/Sparks area. Enjoy!

We went on 2 nights because it was great and the Nugget is on an island (not really) and there's no place within walking distance. Erika was awesome. Great drinks, perfect martini and the appetizers? Yes, please. On night one, we had crispy calamari that was cooked perfectly. Ahi tuna tartar that was so tender and delectable. We also had clam chowder that was so good we had it both nights. We chatted with the nicest people at the bar. Erika even put the Giants game on for us. On the 2nd night we again had clam chowder but also had shrimp cocktail. 4 enormous prawns with really good cocktail sauce. We split that. I cut each prawn in 4 large chunks. It was cooked, then chilled to perfection. Not gonna lie, it's pretty pricey but when they say you get what you pay for? I'm pleased to say it was worth it.

He chose this place. And last month when we got together, he suggested we come back. It brought back so many memories!! Crazy as she also started sharing all our pictures from the past?!?! Again, so many memories. Okay, to the Steak House, I need to focus, lol. Today we got the following, all of which were cooked perfectly! Complimentary Bread with French and Apricot, Pistachio Butter - So good that all of us could not stop eating it. It is going to ruin our dinner... Palette Cleanser - Refreshing. All the wives got the Sea Bass and Salad, so I only took one picture. Are they spending too much time together...? Ate the exact same meal?!?! This is affecting my Yelp pictures, lol. The good news is that us "men" all ordered different entrees. Again, everything was all cooked perfectly. Prime Rib - 16oz, I really think I got a larger slice, thank you. Changed it up from my usual rib eye. Against my own will, I caved in for a second slice of huge thick sourdough bread so I was only able to finish half my dinner... If I did not do that, I think I could have finished my dinner. I also appreciated the two horse radish options. Oh, and a sweet potato option!!! Sold. Filet - 12 oz, my buddy impresses me that he can always finish his dinner and he ate 4 slices of bread?!?! He is not much bigger than me. My buddy also changed his options to sweet potato following my lead. Wagyu Short Rib - This buddy is a light eater like myself, but he finished his dinner. This is the second time I have seen him finish his whole dinner! I am impressed. But not sure if he had any of that delicious bread. Dessert: The ladies wanted "a" dessert to share, so they ordered a cherry crumb cheesecake (my favorite of the desserts). Then my filet buddy who is a Key Lime connoisseur gave in and ordered a "Key Lime Pie;" sorry, none of us felt this was a pie, but rather more like a key lime creme brulee?!?! It was still good, but far from his and our expectations. S'more Dessert - Lastly, the manager brought over this dessert. I don't think it was even on the menu. He asked which dessert we liked best and we all had different answers so he left laughing. Complimentary chocolates. I washed down my dinner with a glass of Shiraz. I also had a glass of wine already gambling while waiting for our friends in the casino. Table side flaming desserts available; see pictures. Ambiance - Small, but a beautiful location in the Western Village Resort, Casino. Almost hidden in a corner. Non pretentious. Restrooms - Need to go outside to the casino. The closest ones are upstairs, just follow the sign. Open 7 days a week from 4:30pm to 9pm or 10pm. Service - 6 stars. From the hostess, servers, waitress and manager. So professional, "white glove" service, respectful, etc. Thank you. Hot towels at the end of dinner; be careful, piping hot. Oh, we also never felt pressured to leave and we stayed 1 hour after closing... Thanks and sorry. We always have so much fun with this group of friends. Actually, we are having a happy hour together at Napa Bistro tomorrow with the larger group... Can't get enough of each other. Price - $416 + generous tip. Expensive, but worth it. I actually felt it was of very good value for the experience, service, and quality of food. I think we need to come back more often than every 20+ years, lol. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success for over 40 years. 1983 - Peppermill acquired.

$1 Coffee! There, I said it. Yup, it's true... cheapest cup o' Joe in town, and it's good!…read more Another new-to-me find that I'm happy I found. My job recently sent me through Sun Valley many times a day. I saw the building, noticed the 2-story parking garage and the large, well-lit parking lot, and always something interesting on the marquee. So, on a bright Saturday morning that allowed me a day to enjoy sleeping in, I decided I was gonna finally get up to Hobey's for breakfast. I was impressed with the layout of the casino floor; a short straight walk to the Cafe entrance. A warm, inviting acknowledgment at the podium, and I'm seated right away. Within a few minutes, a super-friendly waitress is at my table pointing out their new menu... and the Breakfast Specials. I chose the Bacon Breakfast Sandwich and a Side Order of B&G's; I plan to have leftovers. I made a wise decision. The gravy is your typical cafe-style, white and creamy, but I swear I could taste a little extra Chef Love. A secret ingredient, maybe. My coffee cup was NEVER empty, and I didn't feel rushed to finish my meal. It was a morning well spent.

NEW OWNERS STRIKE AGAIN…read more Why would someone spend millions to by an established local treasure that's been serving us perfectly for 35 years & destroy it ?? Start by walking in the doors and immediately have to maneuver through a maze/glut of slots to get anywhere. They removed the smoke cleansing machines & now it smells & looks like an opium den. The foul odor of tobacco now permeates itself right into their dining room. They've moved every booth & table for reasons known only to the thoughtless management. They removed the seniors & youngsters items from the menu, cut the choices by at least by 50% & of course raised the prices. They even removed the recently remodeled bathroom's from the restaurant. Now you have to walk all the way back to the building's entrance to find one. Let's not dare mention the destruction of employee morale and removal of their employment benefits. Perhaps they should concentrate their growth to Las Vegas where people don't know any better or don't care. They have ruined a locally owned business with their corperate greed, lack of thoughtfulness or concern for what the local community, the ones keeping them in business, actually wants.. This is Sun Valley, Nevada not Beverly Hills, California

My experience was quite different, we had a party of six celebrating a very special occasion. Thinking this Steakhouse is rated 4 stars we thought we couldn't go wrong, that was our first mistake. Of the first 5 salads brought out they had to take em back because of the 'off' odor. Our server explained that maybe it was the radishes (not what I would expect from a four star steakhouse). When the entrées came out three people had ordered filet mignon's, which I was told was very tasty. One of the patrons had ordered New York strip (three of us confirmed that) and was given and charged for a filet mignon rather than taking it back to the kitchen and giving the patron what they ordered. It was unfortunate, but the service in my opinion was not four-star they did check on us occasionally and kept the water glasses full and 'maybe' they even asked if everything was OK. Not wanting to spend $60 for a steak (I was a guest) I ordered the seafood roast. It turned out to be a very tasty bisque, but a tasty bowl of soup shouldn't cost $35.00. Give em try if you want to gamble on a great experience. My recommendation is to go to Western Steakhouse, enjoy the much better ambience, 120% better experience for maybe 10% more. You do you, all six of us know where we'll go next time.

Disappointing Meal Despite a Nice Setting…read more We came to Waterbar today to meet a friend for lunch. We immediately ordered iced teas and the Lobster Deviled Eggs to start. The appetizer and drinks came out promptly. However, the iced tea seemed like it came straight from a soda fountain rather than being freshly brewed--in a higher-end restaurant like this, I definitely expect fresh-brewed tea. As for the deviled eggs, they tasted good, but the "lobster" on top was so miniscule that it could have just as easily been tiny pieces of shrimp. It was nearly impossible to tell if it was actually lobster meat. For our entrees, I ordered the Korean Short Rib Tacos, and my dining partner ordered the fish tacos: - Korean Short Rib Tacos: Decent overall. The sauce had a nice, flavorful kick to it. - Fish Tacos: A BIG miss. The fish was clearly not cooked fresh for our meal--it tasted and felt as though leftover fish from yesterday had simply been reheated in a microwave. The consistency and flavor were completely off, to the point where my partner took only one bite and couldn't eat any more. This was a major disappointment. We really wanted to like this place because the setting and space are truly spectacular, but given the quality of the food and drinks, I'm not sure if we'll return.

We started with the French onion soup and lobster bisque, and both were excellent--rich, flavorful, and a great start to the meal. Even the bread was worth mentioning, which is always a good sign! For dinner, we had the Cowboy ribeye and filet, and both were cooked perfectly. The creamed spinach and potato sides were equally impressive and the perfect complement to the steaks. The service was also excellent from start to finish. Overall, a surprisingly elevated dining experience with genuinely great food and attentive service. Charlie Palmer Steak definitely exceeded our expectations, and we'll absolutely be back.
