The restaurant is warm and welcoming, the staff are super friendly, and the food is always fresh and delicious. My friend had a bowl of chili, and I had the BV Avo Shrimp Salad (it's hard for me to get away from the deliciousness of the Avo Shrimp Salad. It's just that good!). This December (2025), Bella Vita opened a second location on College Pkwy (where Creekside Deli used to be. Now, the Carson Mall location is only open for lunch. And the new location, Bella Vita Bistro at Creekside, serves dinner, starting at 4pm. (They are also using the new location for their catering.) Now that the holidays are almost over, I'm looking forward to getting back on schedule and trying the new location, as well as getting back to the mall location soon.

Only my second visit here (1st one several years ago), but I won't wait so long before I return…read more Food and service was excellent! Our server, LuLu couldn't have been more pleasant and accommodating and the fish & chips I ordered was the best I've had anywhere in sometime. I even loved the bleu cheese slaw as well. I REALLY enjoyed Sassafras.

We had wanted to stop by Sassafras for a while, and we finally had the opportunity to do so. It…read morewas really good and very reasonably priced. Here is what we liked: - Massive menu with lots of choices, including two pages of specials - We didn't drink that night, but we liked that there were a lot of beers on tap - My wife and I split both the Grinder sandwich and the Cheese Curd Burger. We liked that you get to pick a side with each sandwich/burger...the blue cheese slaw was excellent, and the homemade potato chips were the bomb too. My burger was a little overcooked, but we enjoyed both our meals. Our daughter had the Praline Bacon Burger, which she really enjoyed. - Vibe inside is a little funky...I wouldn't describe it as cozy, but it was fine. - Service was very good. Bottom line: We would go back to Sassafras for sure next time we're in the area!

The…read morenoodles were extremely greasy (pooling at the bottom) and lacked flavor, lemon grass chicken were little fried nuggets (i'd expect grilled), and to top it off, water was not complimentary with a very spicy dish ($2 a pop). No matter how authentic this is, these are some things that can and should be improved. Im really doubting all the awards and trophies that this place touts.

I can't believe I'm actually going to give this review a one star review…read more Great Basin Brewing has been a favorite of ours for well over a year almost 2 years now. It's been our go to place. Today being Father's Day, we were out and about in town and decided we would eat there. All the way there I kept bragging to my grandson how great this place is and it's our go to spot. yada yada yada. It wasn't very busy and we were seated very quickly. The service has always been pretty friendly. The service today was adequate and I'll get to that in a second. My grandson ordered the pork belly, Mac and cheese. I kept saying how that is a really good choice and he's really going to like it. My wife ordered the half rack ribs with fries and coleslaw. I had what I think is called the butchers platter with ribs, chicken wings, and pork belly. The food arrived and looked pretty darn good. But that's where it ends. My wife kept saying how salty the food was. And I got to thinking about that as I was eating my wings with the so-called Memphis dust flavoring on them. Those were equally salty so I thought wow OK maybe it's just our taste buds. Then I tried my ribs and they were also salty. I tried my wife's ribs just to see if they were that salty and come to find out they really were and dry. The fries that came with my wife's food tasted like they were old like they've been sitting out for a while. The coleslaw was also bland. After bragging about the pork belly and cheese, my grandson stated that it was pretty bland with very little flavor. So I tried it just to see what was going on and sure enough it was really lacking something what I don't know. I'm thinking garlic because it was pretty darn bland. I honestly hate to give a review like this because I really like this place as I said before it's been our go to spot. Now, as far as the service the server, she was very friendly, but that was pretty much it, after getting our food she didn't even check on us until it was about time for us to leave and she brought us our check. It's just kind of weird because there's a couple of servers here that are exceptional. So I don't know what's going on, but this was a very big letdown for a couple of regular customers. As usual, the place is clean and spacious with plenty of TVs to enjoy sports. In the end, the beverages were about the best part of the meal. It was Father's Day, so my beer was free so thank you for that maybe this was just a rough day. I don't know. I don't know if you have new cooks or what but this was pretty bad considering how much we like this place and how good it has always been.

The saving grace was the wonderful lady who took the order in her stylish glasses so friendly and welcoming! And the fries were crunchy yet no Heinz tomato ketchup. The cakes at the entrance looked interesting. The Italian cookie was too sweet like dosing on spoonfuls of sugar. Salty and sweet a balance would have been nice. The raspberry center got stuck to the parchment paper bag. The Tiramisu was ok, nothing to write home about let alone finish. The extra hot latte was as expected. Extra Hot and delivered the caffeine dose needed. Ambiance is nice. We would have liked to be regulars. For the cakes or honey. Found the carne asada tacos at Centro market (first time) more delicious, 20 mins after sharing a sandwich here. Go there!

I have a short layover here in Carson City and I gave my crew the afternoon off cause we just had…read moreto wait for a few things. So, my local friend wanted to take me to this Thai restaurant right down on the main street in downtown, if Carson has an actual downtown that is. We got parking right in front of the place on the main street. Inside is nice and elegant in a Thai kinda way. Nicer than a casual mom and pop Thai joint. We get seated at a nice table near the front. My friend already knows the menu, so I go with hos suggestion for the Lunch special Duck with sauce over rice. It's $22 bucks, so it better be good! He has the Thai battered salmon for around $19. Soup is included and it's just a veggie broth, though tasty. Then our lunch specials come out. Oh wow, that duck look really good. It's totally deboned, so no messing with bones at all. The sauce was super tasty. My friend said he thinks its some sort of duck juice reduction with other added stuff. Whatever, this was one of the most tasty duck dishes I've ever had. His salmon was unique, I never saw a dish like that made with salmon. The coating was very unique and crispy and the salmon not over cooked. Overall, I really liked this place. I think my crew is having lunch at one of the local casinos, I'd rather be here!

Thai is one of my fav cuisines so when I saw that there was a Thai restaurant in the area, I had to…read moremake the drive. We ordered some food for the kids and I got the Duck Curry. The bill came to $80 which I felt was kinda steep for 3 items, especially in Carson City. The restaurant is located on a street where there was very limited parking in front and all the rear parking is super dark so bring your night vision goggles. At least there's plenty of parking spots. When I walked in, I was surprised to see Caucasian staff members! Well I guess this isn't that different than Panda Express where you have hispanics in the front and the 1 token asian in the back cooking. I picked up my food and was pleasantly surprised to find the dishes were pretty loaded. I started dipping into my duck curry and OMG it was probably the best I've had. Not only was the flavor amazing and spiced just right, but there was a generous amount of duck! When I went to eat dim sum recently and ordered roast duck, I got a plate of duck that was mostly skin and bones. Here they actually de-boned the meat so you're getting nice chunks of flavorful, meaty duck along with fresh chunks of pineapple, tomatoes, and spices with that yummy curry over my caucasian rice (I like to be culturally sensitive). Even my wife that don't like duck really enjoyed this. So while $80 for 3 dishes may seem a bit high, it was worth it. I really enjoyed my meal here and my kids also ate all their noodles with enough leftovers for lunch the next day.
