    BBQ Burger
    Dada M.

    Went to Land Ocean and celebrated my son's 17th bday and we had a delicious meal. The BBQ Burger was juicy and packed with flavor, the Ahi Poke Tacos were fresh and delicious, and the Salmon BLT was absolutely amazing! Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Great food, great atmosphere, and a wonderful dining experience. Definitely a place worth trying!

    Came here today, but unfortunately was disappointed to find that they only had bar seating available due to an event. Since children aren't allowed to sit at the bar, my party wasn't able to dine here. I understand that events can affect seating, but it was still disappointing that there wasn't an option for families with kids.

    We absolutely love this fine dining steakhouse and seafood. It was fabulous. We had my brother's birthday here and they were very accommodating for us all. The food was excellent. Everybody ordered something different in the ambiance is so elegant or you can dress down. Either way you're good. We will be coming here regular. We loved it. Thank you to the staff and the chefs her

    A sophisticated, chic restaurant is South Reno in the Summit Mall on your way up to Lake Tahoe. The food is healthy and delicious. You will leave satisfied. The prices are fitting the ambience; this is fine dining. The service is quality to complete the experience. I will note that they do not include a birthday treat or warm bread.

    I've been coming here for years. I was definitely a regular. The original staff-Ana and Nicole in particular, made this place what it was. Since all the original staff left to open the new location in Sparks, this place has fallen apart. I still go here but no longer choose it over other places. The food is still consistently good but the bar service, or lack of service, is my only complaint. The new bartenders spend too much time talking to one another or to their regular customers instead of servicing the bar.

    It's only our second time here at Land Ocean, once before many years ago. We had a lovely dinner with our friends on a busy Monday night. Initially we wanted to try their happy hour (3:00-6:00) but it was completely full in the bar area with no open spots. The bar is the only place they'll serve the happy hour specials. So we opted for the dining room. It was also good that we had a reservation, because it would have been a 20-minute wait as a walk-in. They have a variety of appealing choices on their menu. I chose their house salad, with grilled salmon added. It was a delicious meal. The salad had a tasty balsamic vinaigrette and the salmon was good-sized. My only note was that the salmon was a bit dry. Overall I would order this again. My hubby ordered the house salad as well and added chicken to his dish. His comment was the chicken was sort of bland. We also shared soup special--beef, mushroom, kale and cheese soup. As different as it sounds, it was very good. Our friends really liked the Chilean Seabass dish (the accompanying coconut rice was a favorite) and the salmon entree. Jacy was our server person and she was excellent all evening. She was helpful, friendly, kind and attentive. Next time we're in, we'll ask to be seated at her table section! The restaurant was bustling with all of the dining room full, at 6:00-7:30'ish dinner time. So it was loud but later it became more quiet as people left. We were seated in a corner booth table so it was less noisy in that spot, but it was still difficult to hear each other. We'll certainly return and try out their happy hour and other menu items..

    The service was great, we mentioned that it was our anniversary and our server went above in beyond! From the seating to the dessert everything was excellent.

    I've been to this restaurant multiple times with friends, and my husband, and we've always come back because of the great food and overall experience. In fact, I was just here a few weeks ago for a birthday. Unfortunately, after our most recent visit, that will likely be changing. A group of six of us came in to celebrate an early Mother's Day -- this is actually our third year choosing this spot for the occasion. We had a reservation for 1:30 PM and weren't seated until around 1:40, which wasn't a big deal. However, things quickly went downhill from there. After being seated, it took quite a while for our server to come over. He briefly apologized and said he'd be with us soon, but we didn't actually place our order until around 2:00 PM. We let him know we were celebrating Mother's Day and ordered bottomless mimosas. I even joked about keeping them coming since we were on a bit of a time crunch. Over the next hour, our server checked on us maybe three times total. By this point, the restaurant had cleared out significantly, and it seemed like he only had a few tables. The service felt extremely inattentive. I asked to speak with a manager, hoping to resolve things, but that interaction only made matters worse. The manager stood there while I explained our concerns, offering no apology, acknowledgment, or effort to address the situation. Even a simple nod or basic customer service response would have gone a long way. Shortly after, our server dropped off the bill -- even though we weren't finished and hadn't asked for it. We had to flag down another waitress just to order another round of drinks because our server was nowhere to be found. Then, to top it all off, a manager came over and questioned how many drinks we had consumed. That was honestly shocking and embarrassing. It was only around 3:00 PM. They could clearly see when we were seated, when we ordered, and we had already expressed frustration about how little we had been served. It felt completely inappropriate and accusatory. At that point, it also seemed like staff members were talking about us, which made the situation even more uncomfortable. We decided to wrap things up and leave. We were respectful customers -- no spills, no inappropriate behavior, just a group of moms enjoying a celebration with some laughter and conversation. We weren't there long enough, nor were we served enough, to justify being treated that way. It's incredibly disappointing, especially considering how much we've enjoyed this place in the past. Sadly, this experience has completely changed how we feel about coming back.

    The workers here are nice and friendly. I love the decor and low lit. The restrooms are clean. The water here taste so horrible like cleaner. We had to ask the waiter to change the water and it was still tasted like cleaner. Sadly I came when they were sold out of prime rib. I even up getting the SURF and TURF. The food was so flavorful and not even salty.

    We were hungry and we were in the neighborhood and we knew we'd be back from the last time we were here. It was an easy call. Let's go back to Land Ocean. On the way back to Gardnerville, my wife could not stop talking about how good her lunch was. She ordered a blackened shrimp bowl and she shared with me one of the shrimp. It was really good, but she was really happy with a combination of flavors. If memory serves, it included mango and other fresh ingredients. Again, we're at the bottom of the Highway 50 in Carson City and she still raving. I had the mushroom burger. And it was really good. They asked me how I wanted the meat cooked and then they did it that way. When you're spending $15-$20 for a hamburger you do want it to be cooked properly. This seems to be a bit of a challenge for many establishments but this restaurant did it properly. We each had a glass of wine from their very efficient wine list. There's a wine for everybody by the glass. My wife had a glass of Rombauer Chardonnay and I had a glass of the Prisoner red blend. Our entrées went so well that we shared a dessert. It was the apple crumb something or other. It was good too. Why the four stars are not five? The ambience is beautiful, the booth we sat and was comfortable, and everybody we met was pleasant enough, but it was not five star service. It seemed like our server was new and learning, but it would not stop us from going back. I can still hear her, " that was the best lunch I've had in a long time."

    Creamy Blue Cheese Dip
    Lisa J.

    I've been here twice, once for happy hour and once for a late lunch. Loved it both times. The bar area was a little weird. For some reason, you are not allowed to order ANY drinks before 3pm exactly. Not even full price ones?! So that was a little disappointing, as I was thirsty and would have been totally happy to pay full price. Once it was time, waiter was attentive and snacks and drinks were quick. We tried a bunch of stuff. The melty blue cheese dip, with fresh chips, is to die for. I had to have them again, all for myself, so I returned recently for a late lunch. I sat at a table in the dining area, and enjoyed a couple of yummy martini's, the ahi tacos and of course, the dip. So good!

    Guacamole cheeseburger! Yummy
    Aileen L.

    Ordered a cheeseburger with guacamole. It was cooked to perfection. Tasted delicious I also ordered a wedge salad that came with. The wedge salad was creamy, crunchy and delicious! The raspberry lemon drops are delicious too but on the pricey side of $14. Which can add up. A friend ordered the blackened shrimp with rice, mango and guacamole. She said it was delicious so I will be ordering that entree next time!

    This was my first time dining in. It was such a high class intimate but also lively atmosphere. We had a nice cozy booth toward the front. The hostess was very thoughtful when placing us due to one of us on crutches. I loved that each item on their menu seems unique. Ex the cilantro rice was green, the blackened salmon had a chipolte mango sauce. I found for higher class dining it wasn't horrible pricing. You can get dinner for around 30$ for some items. I was surprised to see burgers on the menu. I'll be back to try one of those or brunch! We did notice a hair on our garlic cheese bread but I wasn't sure if it was mine or not to be honest. I was pretty confused by the lighting. They had downward yellow lights over the dining room. Like mustard yellow. I'm curious the reasoning behind it. It was odd and made my food not show true colors and made pictures not look very appetizing too. We came for my bday but they don't offer any free bday desserts. Although their desserts sounded amazing.

    What happened to the lovely fireplace feature at the restaurant? It gave it such a warm ambiance!?

    Hello! We still have our fireplace. It’s divides the lower dinning room and bar area. We light it at night around 4pm. Hope that helps.

    What kind of plant based/vegan entrees do you have on your menu?

    Jamie, thank you for your inquiry. We can modify a few of our menu items to be vegan such as our Spicy Filet Stir Fry without meat and extra vegetables. While we don't have a big list of vegan options on our menu, please let us know of your dietary…

(Condescending smirk.) "We do things a little bit differently around here." The thing they do differently is that you have to order everything from a QR code. It's such a bummer because we hardly ever get to eat dinner together, and we want to spend it interacting, not using a phone for yet ANOTHER task. We order: rosemary popovers, steak, wedge salad, potatoes a gratin, and asparagus. Popovers: no rosemary, just dried parsley sprinkled on top. Burned on the bottom, very tough (likely over mixed) Wedge salad: pretty solid, very salty Steak: too salty as well, but cooked nicely to order Potatoes: this...is not a gratin. And it was covered the same sauce as the asparagus, which was maybe a flavorless béchamel? Asparagus: covered in bacon w the above sauce and very tough and stringy. All around: poor service, poor ambience, overpriced food poorly prepared. We were bummed out.

We will never be going to this restaurant again. Additional after the fact, the sign outside that advertises the business has been broken for months. One would think that if you were a serious business that you would want to fix that. It reflects on your image. It makes me sad too, because they are right across the street from the Peppermill and they could be getting so much business.

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.

The décor is pretty, modern, and tropical, with artificial greenery, coral-inspired lamps, and a really nice bar right at the entrance but there are only six seats, so get there early if you want to camp out there. There's a good mix of table and booth seating, and everything feels comfortable and inviting. We were seated at a four-top right next to one of the flat screens. Not sure how others feel about this location, but I loved watching the different scenes pop up and loved seeing Chicago up there. We started out with the Half Dozen Fresh Oysters (cocktail sauce, Mignonette Granita, Tabasco) and the Charred Octopus. I have to say that while both were delish, that Mignonette Granita was mind blowing! That was my first time having it and I have to say it elevated the oysters to a new level. Now I am not sure if I will be able to eat them without the Mignonette Granita. Mignonette Granita is a frozen version of the mignonette, using red wine, shallots, sea salt, sugar and peppercorns and it was amazing. When it first came out I though it was Pink sea salt, but when I put it on top of an oyster, that initial cold plus the flavor profile on top of the oyster was lovely. The Charred Octopus (ponzu dipping sauce, Okinawa yam puree, pickled vegetables) was also yummy. I wasn't sure what to think about the yams, but they worked with the octopus. Before I get to the main course, I want to speak on the bread basket that came out. The sourdough was out of this world and it was so good. It was so fresh and had that nice twang to it. For our entrees, I had the Braised BBQ Australian Wagyu Boneless Short Rib (caramelized onions, mashed potatoes, root vegetables, cooking liquor, crispy fried shallots) and The Doctor had the Black and White Sesame Crusted Ahi Tuna Loin (warm rice noodle, Shiitake mushroom, Shishito peppers, mini bell peppers, wakame seaweed, honey soy garlic broth). Both of these were very good. The short rib was very tender and the only reason I needed a knife to cut it was to make the the piece smaller. Unfortunately I was not able to finish the dish as there was a lot of meat on that plate and there was no option to do a doggy bag as we were leaving the next day. The Ahi Tuna was delish as well, very well prepared and the noodles were great but definitely on the spicy side, so beware. In between the starters and the entrees, we were presented with a palate cleanser of lemon sorbet and prosecco in a martini glass and that was yummy and should be a real dessert on the menu. Our servers John and Jacob were wonderful and took good care of us and the meal was simply great. The only reason this review is not a five star one is because when we got to our table and were shown our seats, there was a drinks tray in The Doctor's tray. The hostess that showed us to our table immediately took it and apologized, but for a restaurant of this caliber it should not have happened, so what should have been a five star review was dropped down to a four. That said, the rest of the experience was great.

    This place is so UNDERRATED! Such a peaceful atmosphere, consistent food, and chill staff; I can't…read morebelieve that Washoe Public House isn't getting the hype it deserves! The eating area is very spacious and commodious. Though this place has a casual vibe, the presentation of the food is totally fine-dining material. Each dish, especially the Citrus glazed salmon, is served as a piece of art. I've been here around three times before I installed yelp, and am excited to finally leave a review. The short rib, was absolutely amazing. The short rib was so tender, and each brussels sprout was a literal flavor bomb. The brussels sprouts I've had at other places have flavor only on the exterior, whereas the brussels sprouts here play a different game. The short rib is served in a really big portion. Though it may look dark from the photos, there are actually three big pieces. I loved loved loved the sauce; there's a sweet tangy taste to it, though it reminded me a lot of BBQ sauce. This short rib was a win. Chefs kiss. The truffle lasagna was terrific; so much sauce in between the lasagna layers. I could absolutely make out the truffle flavor in this dish. However, I recommend eating this dish quickly, as the lasagna stiffens really quickly. Thirty minutes after it was served, I went it to take another bite, and it wasn't as good anymore. The ceasar salad +beef is a great choice for a light but filling meal when you're currently on a healthy diet. Each dish here comes in giant portions, but even after you finish this salad, it won't feel too heavy on your body. I think it's because Washoe is really light on the dressing levels; perfecting the amount so it doesn't overtake the fresh flavor of the greens or leave the salad bland and insipid. However, the beef was a bit too well done and on the firmer side. The first time coming here, I was totally shocked to find out that the food they served did not match the relaxed and informal vibe the setting sets up. Not a bad thing at all. Creates a laid-back vibe while still getting high quality food.

    We went to this restaurant over a year ago when it was still upscale dining. Now the ambiance is…read moremore of a hometown bar and grill with Wolf Pack (Go Pack!) banners all over. Nothing wrong with that but we were looking for an upscale restaurant experience like Bricks. (If you haven't tried Brinks, go, it's amazing. Our reservation was for 6p on Saturday, and we should have known something was up when we arrived and there were only a couple of people in the bar and restaurant, and no one was seated outside. The last time we were here, the place was packed and we had to wait for our reservation table. The second red flag was sitting on the uncomfortable folding chairs as the chairs they used to have were traditional high back wooden chairs. Gone also are table cloths, now you have a bare table. And the menus now are on a piece of paper. The wine selection is small, and they don't list wine bottle prices, but only per glass cost. I think again this is due to their change in what style restaurant they are now. So when I specifically ordered a bottle of wine, a glass came. The wine menu like the whole menu is small. We got two appetizers, the pork bell egg rolls and the potstickers. I have a rule of not ordering Chinese food at non-Chinese restaurants, but I ordered them anyway. The rolls appeared house made and were cooked perfectly tasty. The sauce really complimented them. The potstickers were store bought with some black sesame seeds sprinkled on top. They were eatable but nothing special. For dinner my wife got the bulgogi lettuce wraps. Very tasty and hot. If you like it hot, these are for you. I got the wild boar schnitzel, but this had problems. One it wasn't seasoned. Schnitzel needs to be seasoned prior to batter, and the flour mixture should be seasoned too. It So it was bland. It was cooked very well. The sause the placed on it however was bland and didn't add to the dish. Schnitzel should be able to stand on its own, and placing a gravy on top makes the schnitzel coating mushy. I'd consider placing that on the side and serving it with some mashed potatoes. The dish comes with no sides. So all of that was $170. The value on this meal was about $100.
