My husband had the The California burger and beer battered fries. He said they were delicious. I casually mentioned being gluten free and the waitress said, "oh!

The absolute best part about California Burger Company is that you can substitute a Veggie Black Bean patty into any of their burgers. Their black bean patty is hands-down amazing - perfectly crispy, packed with flavor, and easily one of the best veggie options around. On our recent visit, we also tried a few sides and starters: Tomato Basil soup was delicious, and the sweet potato fries were perfectly cooked. They really need to improve their regular onion rings which were way too oily, lacked any crunch, and just weren't very good. Outside dining and inside dining both experiences are good. Service is good but wait time to get table is very long but worth the wait. Overall, the incredible veggie burger option alone makes this a staple for any trip to Tahoe.

My favorite place to get a cocktail in Reno…read more They have a unique "Old Fashioned" with buffalo trace bourbon, moroccan sugar, coconut, tobacco bitters, dehydrated pineapple. It really does not taste anything like an "old fashioned" but it's very good and my usual go-to. Ambiance is cool. Has a very Edgar Alan Poe vibe mixed with an alchemist/speakeasy. They have a small patio as well. Service: top-notch mixologists/alchemists.

I'm battling this review. I battle rating it for the drinks/ambiance versus the service. The good:…read moreabsolutely the cutest vibe and decor. Love the quality of the drinks as they absolutely put effort and time making quality drinks with quality ingredients. It's relatively small inside so I can only imagine it could get packed in there. We had several drinks and every single one was perfection! The bathroom is the cutest and they have the coolest speakeasy door that the employees use to get to the back (not for the customers). My rant..I'm not from the area so I had NO idea what this place was when I walked by. It looked cute so my husband, myself and child walked up the steps and they sat outside while I went to check it out and see if this was a bar/club/ restaurant. I walked inside and instantly got the death glare from an employee. I instantly said omg I take it this place isn't kid friendly.. he rudely said no. I wanted to clarify and confirm even outside ? He said no. I apologized and they left but the vibe and way he said it was definitely off putting. My sister and I decided to stay for a drink while my husband/child went to walk around. Usually I don't give bad costumer service a chance.. but I realllllllly wanted a drink that one of those others customers were drinking. If this place had better costumer service. It would be a 5

The atmosphere is unique and elegant without being over the top. The food is amazing with so many options, I personally recommend the braised pork cheek and the bison carpachio, along with the braised short rib for the main. The bread pudding is top of the line dessert, just trust me its amazing. The service is on point and very quick and attentive as well as friendly and welcoming. I don't know her name but the female bartender is so nice and very informative, if you have any questions about food or drink options she is the go to gal. I believe they have just recently added close up magic in the dinning area and the show the gentleman, James Mako, put on was very entertaining and unique. I tried to beat the trick but he was too good and both my wife and I were enveloped in his magic. We will be coming here every chance we get and I can promise you will do the same from now on

Parking: some free lots around the downtown area. Might have to walk a bit. But downtown also just…read morewalkable in general. Service: it's in a three story building. The first floor is for shows and theaters. The restaurant is on the 3rd floor. Waiter/service are kind. But we did have to flag them down quite often to clear empty finished plates. Food: tapa food. So things don't come in great large quantities. Rather for taste and enjoyment. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the dishes. If you had to only try one, the portobello mushrooms were so good. Otherwise, everything is pretty tasty

You can bring your own or purchase room their small humidor. Keep in mind there's a very small selection. They do not serve food but you are welcome to bring something in.

Ordered the Miso glazed Salmon…read more The chef coated the salmon with so much "glaze", it was like he was painting a Tahoe house for the winter...or he was staining a deck with three coats of varnish. I have ordered a similar dish elsewhere. It should be a hint of the glaze to enhance the flavor, not have the consistency of the congealed fat when you take a leftover cooked chicken from the refrigerator. Ended up having an upset stomach well into the middle of the night....and I rarely have a reaction to food. The ambiance and the wait staff were pleasant, it was a beautiful sunset, and my wife's meal was okay, but it ruined our romantic evening out.

While there, I picked up the binder containing the Whiskies list. Oh, my fricking Stars and Stripes...the whiskies list....! Was... Extensive. There were lists of bourbons, ryes, scotches by region (Speyside,Islay, Islands, etc) They had blended whiskies, flavored whiskies, and Irish whiskies. This was one of the most comprehensive lists of any place I've been. Gotta appreciate a good library whisky bar that allows you to try new regions without springing for a whole bottle.

Neat Whisky Bar is a concept bar within the Terrace Lounge. I'm not even sure Yelp allows that,…read morebut we'll see. Who says the only thing that matters is material. It goes something like this. Unless you look for it, it's Terrace Lounge, a corny casino cocktail lounge with some corny, terrible lounge singer. Most people there are visiting gamblers. They don't give a shit about craft cocktails or esoteric Scotches or bourbons. They order a gin and tonic or Maker's Mark and call it a night. But if you look carefully, you discover Neat Whisky Bar, and voila, it's suddenly a cool, hip whisky bar with 150 whiskies on the shelf. I guess it's pretty hipster that the bar is so obscure it has no material existence and Yelp may not even allow it to be reviewed. Wow, that's pretty hipster. I don't even think Chapel has that many whiskies although I keep imploring them to list their goddamn liquor. You know people just order whatever the hell is popular and corporate like Bushmills, Jameson, Maker's Mark. Those asshats at Chapel have Elmer T Lee and Rowan's Creek, but you'd never know unless you ask them. Anyhow, much applause to these guys for listing their whiskies and even better, at the back of the menu they provide a pretty decent short review of dozens of their whiskies. EVERY bar should do that. Educate your customers! I never knew so many Irish whiskies use bourbon barrels. Also, it's spelled whisky if it's from Canada or England and whiskey if it's from Ireland or America. It's called Scotch if it's from Scotland. No, it's not bourbon if it's from Kentucky. It's bourbon if it's made according to the rules (at least 51% corn, aged in new charred-oak barrels, made in America, bottled at 80 proof) so you can make Nevada bourbon if you wanted. The prices tend to be on the high side for Reno like $9.50 for a Maker's and $8 for Buffalo Trace. They say they pour 2 oz which I guess makes up for it, although most bartenders if they like you will pour 2 oz. The only really rare bourbon they have is the Pappy 15 year for $18, although they do have a lot of independent bourbons, surprising for a casino that prides itself on corporate bullshit beer and liquor. They have awful and small ice. I wouldn't get anything on the rocks here. They only had several cocktails listed and not many classic cocktails. I get the idea they're flirting with change but not making any commitment. Besides the people smoking at the bar and not giving a sh t that there were 150 whiskies, the only real annoyance was the goddamn singer who was virtually screaming and screeching. It was unbearable. Then she started singing Christmas songs and I had to leave. Christmas songs are terrible enough sung well, sung terribly, they're a form of torture.
