    Wild Garlic Pizza
    Dee B.

    While I have lived in the Reno/Sparks area for 8 years the eateries and history of Reno and the downtown area were all new to me! Melissa, our guide, was filled with all sorts of history and facts for this area. While we walked, Melissa would point out different buildings and tell us of the history. While we ate, Melissa was giving us the history of the building and the owner/chef, etc. And just an FYI - GO HUNGRY! This may say a tasting tour but I am still stuffed and it has been close to four hours since I ate. We started at Wild Garlic Pizza. The slices of two different pizzas that we had were wonderful. We had slices for the Angry Pig and the Wild Garlic. While I liked the Wild Garlic pizza, the sauce was a bit overpowering for the awesome crust. Did I mention the crust? The crust alone is to die for. It has a bit of a sweet flavor to it. It is my understanding that you don't see the crust sitting sadly on a plate uneaten. I can see why! On a side note, there are many board games that are available for customers to play! Thank goodness we had a little of a walk to the next stop, Old Granite Street Eatery. Here we had a salad with arugula, lentils, carrots, beets, and avocado topped with a balsamic dressing. At the Old Granite Street Eatery, they do their best to use only locally-sourced produce. A great salad and all but the avocado was from our area! Off to SoDo Restaurant & Bar! Again, I am thrilled to walk so I can make a little more room for the next "tasting". At SoDo, we had the Hanger Steak. Very rarely have I seen Hanger Steak on the menu. A piece of advice, if you see it, got it! This cut of meat was fantastic. By now I am getting very full but the steak and poblano potato hash was too good to leave on my plate. The atmosphere here is quiet and casual. If SoDo's was opened on Sundays, I would be changing my reservations for my night out with my husband! Thankful the next stop on the tour is a bit of a walk! We are headed to Liberty Food & Wine Exchange. Here we are treated to a plate of charcuterie and salumi. Again, we have a local restaurant using locally sourced products! In fact, Liberty's meats are butchered and processed in the basement! On Fridays, I understand that Liberty brings in live entertainment! I also saw some board games available for the customers! Sounds like a way to spend an evening with friends! Off to The Basement and Rawbry in the old post office building in downtown. This is more than a juice bar, Rawbry is an addiction according to the employees. Here we have two very different juices to sample, one is THE FARMACIST and the other is PACK A MEAN PUNCH. While both juices were very tasty, I think my favorite is The Farmacist. With an 8 oz serving of that, I am sure I wouldn't need to eat any leafy greens the rest of the day! And once again, this eatery uses locally sourced and organic when possible! Oh no, we are coming to the end and dessert, but wait it is from Sugar Love Chocolates! And how I love my chocolate! Sugar Love is more of the European style chocolate. While the pieces of candy are smaller, please, don't be fooled as they have more flavor in them than many of the larger pieces of Sees Candy. A side note here, if a piece of candy is filled with say strawberries, this filling is made fresh from locally sourced strawberries. Yes, this means that some of the chocolates are seasonal. We had a sample of the Himalayan Pink Salted Caramel and Flavor of the month, White Chocolate Creme Brulee. I will not try to pick a favorite of these two! I will say this, I will be a regular customer because they have a website and they ship!

    This midtown food tour was amazing way to try out a lot of local restaurants. The guide was well informed and all the stop were delicious. I wish I had the time to try the Downtown tour. Highly recommended doing this tour. You will not be disappointed.

    This food tour was a blast!! I went on this tour today and it was fabulous. The food was great. We tried a little bit of everything I will definitely be returning to these restaurants. The tour guide was very friendly and informative about what and where we were eating. I can't wait to take the mid town tour next. What a fun way to experience good food in Reno

    Downtown Reno Food Tours-Fabulous!
    Monica B.

    Had such a fabulous time taking the downtown food tour with great friends. Such a fun & unique way to learn about the city I have lived in for over 20 years, as well as, learn about great food experiences that I didn't even realize were here. The idea of great food, a little bit of exercise through a casual easy paced stroll of my community and fun Reno facts made for a very worthwhile 3 hours. Thank you Reno Food Tours!

    This place is so cool and not cool at the same time…read more.. Here's the bad stuff... 1. Super construction going on and the parking lots are a mess, you don't know to go right or left and I got lost finding entrances even after 3 days.really dirty too. 2. The dirt doesn't stop there. Our first room we were given was so smokey I mean burning eyes smokey. There was a box fan sitting outside the room so I think they tried to air it out but it was like someone burned a cigar in there and just closed the door. 3. After going thru a room swap we were given another room. Fine but there was a dirty rag left in the bathroom counter with hairs all over it. Not a huge deal but still, come on right? 4. The late check out. Went to the front desk night before to make sure late check out was ok since we were at an event that morning. No problem they said you got until 4 with an additional fee. Great right? Nope since our room was a room that was attached to a suite they needed us out before that. Just come on again! 5. The service is just rude everywhere. I mean everyone you encounter! The Rim restaurant guy host in a suit..., I'm convinced was high as a kite. Don't believe me, go there and talk to him, holy! The security desk, rude and unhelpful. Anyone you call on the phone from the room, rude. I'm not expecting Disney customer service, but come on man! Someone teach these guys some customer service skills. So the good.... The resort is really cool. Bowling video games, nice casino, everything to spend a fun weekend. We may even come back just to do the pool and stuff to do there. To wrap it up... Lower your expectations. Your not going to get the cleanest room. Most certainly you will be treated rudely. It's a place that could be so epic but falls short due to just taking short cuts in the customer service, organization and just plain care about your whole experience factor. P.S. you will receive at least 5 text messages telling you about how great their spa is.

    Another year visiting this place, and unfortunately, not much has changed since my last stay. We've…read morebeen here since last night, and I wanted to share some of our experiences. The room was okay--nothing special, but no major complaints. The Starbucks is always packed, which seems to be the norm here. Today, I visited the Second Street Marketplace downstairs. The young employee who assisted me had very poor customer service. He didn't acknowledge me, didn't offer a bag for the items I purchased, didn't say thank you, and seemed more interested in chatting with his coworkers than helping customers. Based on what I observed, I wasn't the only customer having issues with him. We also requested housekeeping service for our room. We were informed there would be a charge, which was fine with us. However, after the service, the room looked exactly the same. The bed was made, but that was about it. Now, let's talk about the restaurant downstairs. I ordered a steak, but they brought me chicken instead. I clearly told the waitress I wanted steak. When I pointed out the mistake, another older employee insisted that what I was served was steak. I'm pretty sure I know the difference between chicken and steak. Fortunately, Teddy stepped in, listened to my concern, apologized, and had my order corrected. That is what great customer service looks like. Even our waitress suggested that I just eat the chicken, but guests should never be told to accept something they didn't order. The casino and the room itself were good, and I enjoyed those aspects of my stay. However, many of the staff members could benefit from additional customer service training. To corporate, management, the CEO, owner, or whoever is responsible: please invest in better customer service training. Your guests deserve a better experience. #CustomerService #Management #Hospitality #GuestExperience

    What do you get when you have a brand new bar opening at the same time the premier food event for…read morethe city kicks off? You get free food, good drinks and lots and lots of people! First lets talk about the free food. A number of Reno Bites chefs were on hand to be either met or to serve a little tasty morsel. All of the food was top notch. Now, I have to be clear. This was excellent, would pay for it top notch food, yet it was free! So the lines were long, what do you expect when you get high quality food for free? The event was exactly as I had expected. Lots of fun people turning out, my whistle getting wetted and my appetite being piqued. To be honest, when I saw the great turn out and the quality this event, it upped my excitement of not only Reno Bites Week, but also of getting to try Pignic in the near future!

Atmosphere - 4 stars Food - 4 stars Service - 5 stars Experience - 1 star Background - Meet and Greet with some local Chefs and taste their food, awesome idea. Atmosphere - Never been to Pignic before. Love the old house and the bar area. But did not learn anything about the concept of the place since it is not a traditional restaurant. I think the crowd was too big for the venue. I get that it is hard to know what kind of turn out you will have but it was nutty crowded. But free draws in a lot of people. Food Drink - The bar area was crazy so we skipped it. Food Pulled Pork Slider was the longest line and ended with a mini sales talk and the lady complaining about her husband's lack of help. The meat was really good on the slider. Grits with pork cheeks - Grits were thicker than I am use to but good. I only had one piece of pork but did not realize that was not the standard until afterwards. I would have loved to try more of the cheeks. Tequila Salmon on a chip - The soft salmon with the chip gave a nice contrast to each other. The tequila did not jump with flavor to me, but other indicated it did. Perhaps I drink too much and was masked by the salmon to me. I am not a big fish eater, but at the end there was some nice heat. Pork Belly - Some of the most tender pork belly I have ever had. I could have just kept eating that. My favorite of the night, thanks Dough. Dessert - They were actually the only item that was easily obtainable as they had plenty on one table to obtain on your own. The cookie was nice and gooey, which was my Service - The crew worked hard I have a feeling they did not expect this kind of turn out. Experience - Just trying to hang out and talk to people seemed to be a challenge as the crowd was too big. People trying to move from one area to another forced everyone to move. Lines to get stuff were not lines. There was no meeting the chefs like I expected. Dough and the Pignic guys have seen at other events in town so I knew who they were but they all were working their stations. The passport idea is great, as Reno does not do the event like bigger cities where a restaurant does a special menu for a week or two. It really helped to educate me on the whole concept and found more restaurants involved then I thought.

The bed was a little firmer than I prefer, but that's just a personal preference. Parking isn't too far away, though the presence of some homeless individuals nearby may make valet parking a more appealing option for some guests. The restaurant at this location also provides excellent service. I only stopped in for a drink this time, but based on the experience I'll definitely be trying the food on my next visit. Overall, this has become my favorite hotel I've found in the Reno area.

From the moment I walked in, several employees greeted me with smiles as I made my way to the Players Club. At the Players Club, Michele was incredibly helpful and happy to reprint my players card. She also told me about the 25% buffet discount and explained how to print it from the kiosk. I tried finding the buffet on my own but couldn't locate it. I asked the security guard on duty for directions, and not only did he give me clear instructions, but he also personally escorted me to the escalators I needed to take upstairs. That level of customer service really stood out to me. Once upstairs, Ursula greeted me with a smile at the register and even joked about "ONLY having four hours left" in her shift when I asked how her day was going. I was seated right away, and my drink order was taken almost immediately by Hachib. Hachib was probably the most impressive waiter I've seen in a very long time. He was kind, polite, funny, and genuinely engaged with the guests. He even suggested a drink when he noticed I wasn't sure what I wanted. Watching him interact with the other guests around me, it was clear that he truly enjoys what he does and takes pride in going above and beyond.

Week after week, she is out on the floor maintaining a clean and welcoming environment for guests. Her dedication and strong work ethic have definitely not gone unnoticed. Gage - Security 6/1/26 I first met Gage when he kindly assisted me with opening a water bottle. We ended up chatting about his name since my nephew has the same name. Since then, I've noticed him regularly making his rounds throughout the property, always professional, approachable, and attentive. I wanted to take a moment to make sure these two individuals are recognized for their efforts and commitment to providing a positive guest experience. Thank you, Jhela and Gage, for all that you do!

The walk from the parking lot to the hotel lobby is a lovely thing. It's not a two mile jaunt like other hotels. The parking garage can fill up fast, we were lucky to find a parking place right up front. With the vehicle all cozy and safe, it's time to check in. Make sure and have a reservation for best results. The check in process is a breeze too. You will have the choice of check in either with the machine kiosk or a live person; but those kiosks are nice when the line is out the door. Room keys in hand it's time to relax. The Silver Legacy was opened in Reno in the middle of the 1990s, it was a hotel introduced to be a higher class than other options for individuals to stay. It seems to be built to mirror the vibes of the Emerald City. Come and seek your fortune and make your mark. It was given the go ahead with an official gaming license in July of 1995. This hotel has undergone many renovations and for its age is spectacular in maintenance and beauty. Two famous movies have even been filmed here: " Waking Up In Reno," and "King Pin." The building adds height to the Reno skyline with it towering over 42 stories high, and being the largest in Reno. The lighting in the Silver Legacy will turn from green to blue to support the local Reno "wolf pack." All around Reno is a rich and lovely history of the past, the front awnings are a blast from the past. The entrance ways in and out of the Silver Legacy date back to 1895, you as go to and from admire the beauty of the past. Now that we are all unpacked it's time to check out this new amazing place.

In the morning, we waited over 30 minutes while valet staff searched for another guest's lost key. Later that same evening, we ended up experiencing the exact same thing ourselves. The valet staff lost our key and it took over 20 minutes for them to locate it. They did not think to hire more staff for the busy Memorial Day weekend and the basketball/volleyball/adult softball tournaments that were going on in the area. The night before we had to leave our car halfway in the street because valet was so backed up. The guest service manager told us to leave it half away in the street. The next day the same manager blamed the desk agent for losing our key when they did the same thing in the morning when she wasn't there. Unfortunately, this caused us to be late to a magic show we were attending at Grand Sierra Resort. I understand mistakes can happen, but seeing the same issue happen multiple times in one day shows a serious lack of organization and professionalism. Valet should make the experience smoother, not create unnecessary stress and delays.
