    Yummy! Sunday brunch with no decisions to be made, live music, and delicious drinks? Sign me up! Love that this is a flat fee dining experience and they just bring you food until you're full. Everything was so tasty and I absolutely will continue to dream about those soft boiled eggs. What a wonderful treat to have this Turkish style brunch offering in Reno!

    We had seen a post about their Turkish brunch and decided we had to try it. It was a good think we had a reservation because it has been a hit since they started it. We were seated outside on their patio area which was quite lovely. The cold portion of the brunch was set up inside and our wonderful server brought us our drinks and our warm food items. It all was quite tasty and I see a return trip ahead. We looked at their evening menu to see what they have available for then too.

    Friday night on 4th street and found this absolute gem! 3 of us stopped for a drink at this beautiful bar. Ended up outside for a Latin spinning DJ. So much fun dancing and watching all the great dancers enjoying the music and beautiful weather. Beautiful inside space. Great outside seating. Really interesting drink menu. So much fun! Top it off with Friday night fireworks from Aces Stadium around the corner. Go check them out for an intimate date or group outing.

    Ordered the vino verde, Lady of Nyx cocktail and fries. The cocktail was perfect earthy beet flavor but not overpowering. Fries were thick and crispy. Need to come back and try other menu items. Server was attentive and friendly.

    The Jesse has new owners. They decided to do something different for us foodies in Reno and started serving a Turkish Buffet. I can honestly say I did not recognize some of the dishes and could not give you the names of any of them. However, everything I tasted was new to me and delicious! The poached eggs on seasoned yogurt was one of my favorites. There was sausage and fruit, a yummy "breakfast" tomato based sauce that went well on many items, along with Turkish coffee. And to top it off bottomless mimosas! We will be back!

    WOW. The Jesse has just given Reno a fabulous new way to Sunday brunch Turkish style. I managed to make the initial Sunday brunch with friends. The partly cloudy morning was perfect on the huge patio behind the Jesse. Partially covered by a trellis of flowering vines, some tables in the sun and others under large umbrellas. Some seat inside are also available. Enter through the parking lot and you'll be greeted at the patio entrance. I highly suggest a reservation, glad we had them because this gem won't stay a secret very long. Each table received a literal smorgasbord of Turkish breakfast delights. To start, at the bar there was a long table set up with various breads, dried and fresh fruit, nuts and sliced heirloom tomatoes. I recommend a plate from here to share with the table. At the table numerous dishes will begin to arrive. Let's begin- Cheese plate with cheese and walnuts Olives Cherry tomatoes and cucumbers in olive oil Preserves Honey and clotted cream ( the table was cleaning the bowl with the bread) Breakfast spread- so delicious Sucuk, Turkish sausage, perfect bite sizes Mihlama, cheese fondue that ever bite was made more delicious when dipped in Cilbir, eggs in garlic and yogurt. Mmmm Gozleme, a thin stuffed flatbread Borek, my favorite and next to impossible to find in this area, is a very flaky pastry with cheese Simit, sesame seed ring Bread slices Cay, Turkish tea, incredibly hot Tea Coffee Turkish Coffee, also incredibly hot and powerful Mimosa The service was beyond fabulous, we had various staff members checking on us throughout our leisure hour and a half brunch session. Simply a gorgeous spot for a devine meal with friends. Chef Araceli, of Flavor Studio helped create the menu. I wave my spoon to her, she has outdone herself once again. Say hello when you see me, because I am definitely returning. Limited parking in the private lot. I recommend street parking across the street on Evans.

    Visiting family and they brought us here for Salsa Lessons. Absolutely fun. Great space in and out. Extremely clean. Awesome cocktails and staff. Excellent selection of spirits and creativity put in. A bit slow on the service but enjoyed the wait talking with everyone. Food was brought out temperature appropriate and was flavorful. Fries a guilty pleasure for me that I don't often indulge in was well with the order. Only comment during salsa lessons we were always changing partners. I get why for the social aspect but my party wanted to stay partnered up so we could Practice wirh each other. Suggestion is during the lesson have a section that are willing to switch partners in a section that want to remain with their partner. This place is a definite try and we will be back when visiting Reno in the future.

    We came here for a fun girls happy hour and we even themed it up with a Mrs Roper night. Super fun place with hotel rooms upstairs. Great bar area and outdoor patio. Private parking lot with limited spaces, but convenient. The staff are all friendly and helpful. Britt was fantastic behind the bar and Brock was a fabulous server. He really was great with explaining food, taking our orders, and even getting us to-go containers. The food was delicious and lots of variety. We even met the owner John who came out to speak with us. Overall a great night filled with laughs, great food and drink, plus amazing memories. We will be back.

    I love the Jesse, the patio is so spacious and is a great spot to soak up some sun with some friends. I also love coming to the Jesse for salsa nights and hope they continue to do those! I actually really like the updated menu to Mediterranean as I always found the tacos to be too expensive. The feta fries are a must really crispy and the zaatar seasoning is great. We got the beef kebab platter the pitas were yummy, tangy red onion, the beef was a little tough though too chewy but the veggies were amazing and everything looked great on the platter altogether. My passionfruit margarita was delicious and well balanced. The drinks still hit and I'm excited about the mediterranean/middle eastern flair. If only they had khachapuri on the menu then my day would really be made!

    New owners is always a bittersweet time. But this one feels extra sweet because they are awesome. The coffee has been fantastic and I cannot wait to try the cocktails one of these nights soon. The interior is beautiful and a great spot to get some work done.

    I went to the launch of their new Turkish Sunday Brunch and was blown away. It's a price fixed menu for such a reasonable price point. You don't order off menu--they just start bringing stuff out. There was a cheese plate, tomato and cucumber salad, cheese fondue, sausages, a puff pastry with cheese, stuffed flat bread, and my personal favorite, soft boiled eggs with yogurt and a nice spicy garlic drizzle. They had some amazing dipping options like tahini, Nutella, cream with honey, and this magical Smokey tomato spread. Inside was a beautiful grazing table with even more breads and dried fruits. You can top the meal off with mimosas, Turkish coffee and Turkish tea. The staff was welcoming and friendly and we sat on the patio, which was a perfect setting. If you're looking for a unique Sunday brunch experience, there's nothing like it in Reno. Reservations are recommend, as they were sold out the day we went

    I was invited to a birthday party here they do catering. And set up a nice room we had hamburgers, chicken nuggets and really good french fries. it was very very well done the bar as well. Attended the people that work. There are very good and what they do. The patio is perfect for a nice non-windy day so I will go back there to try their breakfast menu and they have really good coffee.

    The Jesse is a boutique hotel and bar (with Mediterranean bites), just three blocks off of the main drag (Virginia Street) in downtown Reno. I visited the bar and beautiful outdoor patio (not the hotel) in late August, with the one-and-only Michael T. I believe that the concept was previously Mexican (named Estella), and the rebrand to Mediterranean is new. We visited on a surprisingly quiet, spectacularly beautiful summer Tuesday night. We enjoyed cocktails and a sampling of their newer Mediterranean menu (hummus, falafel, salad, and more!). The drink menu was inspired and the cocktails cooled us down on a warm evening. The bites were made with fresh and flavorful ingredients. We lounged outside on the pretty, enclosed patio. We were shocked that it wasn't busier. If you live in Reno, you should check them out. I'll defintely be back the next time I'm in town. And, helpful to know: they have a private parking lot adjacent to their building, so no need to battle downtown parking. Cheers!

It was due to the seasoning. However, it was packed with a variety of flavors. It wasn't dry and loose, which is what I have encountered at a few other places. All in all, there was so much in it that it was difficult to evaluate what I was eating, which is a good thing. It means I'll have it again :). It functioned as a whole rather than as separated ingredients to give a complex flavor profile, which I appreciated. The fries were seasoned beautifully. Very savory. I enjoyed them. Cooked wonderfully as well. The tortilla chips in the nachos.. I don't know if they were made there or not, but they gave the impression of being store-bought. The quality was not great.

I expect a well-balanced mixture of ingredients. The layer of queso was below while the avocado was clumped up at the top. The ingredients separately were quite bland. I wouldn't have this again.
