Black Rock Wine Co absolutely nails that rare balance between elevated and approachable. From the…read moremoment you walk in, the space sets the tone with a modern industrial design, warm wood accents, soft lighting, and an open, airy layout that invites you to slow down and stay awhile. The long tables lined with bottles feel almost like a curated gallery, and the garage-style doors let in natural light that makes the whole place feel alive without being loud or overwhelming. What really stands out is how intentional everything feels, especially the wine list. It is handwritten on a large chalkboard, which gives it a relaxed, neighborhood vibe, but the selection is thoughtful and globally inspired. You will find a mix of Old World staples and boutique producers alongside well-chosen California options. The list includes everything from crisp Picpoul and Bordeaux Blanc blends to approachable Pinot Noir, Malbec, and Cabernet Sauvignon, along with more unique offerings like Loire Valley blends and Spanish varietals that show they are not just playing it safe. The pricing is another highlight. Most glasses land in the $9 to $15 range, which feels more than fair for the quality. They even offer a carafe option, about two and a half glasses, which is perfect for sharing and encourages you to settle in and enjoy the experience rather than rush through it. The atmosphere is exactly what you want in a wine bar. It is relaxed, conversational, and effortlessly refined. It is the kind of place where you can catch up with friends, go on a date, or simply unwind and end up staying longer than you planned. What truly made our visit exceptional was our server, Kate. She went above and beyond in every way. She was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the wines, and genuinely warm in her approach. She made thoughtful recommendations, checked in at the right moments, and created an experience that felt personal rather than transactional. It is clear she cares about what she does, and it made a great environment feel even better. Black Rock Wine Co is not trying too hard, and that is exactly why it works. It is curated, welcoming, and just the right level of elevated. We will absolutely be back.

Having just moved from California, I found myself missing the endless amounts of tasting rooms all…read moreover the area. I've been excited to start making my rounds in the Reno/Tahoe/Truckee areas and let me tell you, I started off strong! I was able to book a reservation when I Googled the tasting room. I wasn't sure I needed one so I made just to be on the safe side. Our reservation was on Saturday before Memorial day weekend so I wasn't sure how busy it would be. Our reservation was for 4:30 and we would would been okay without one. I booked a window view which gives you a nice view facing 4th street and beyond. There are so many seating options and you can't tell from the outside but there's definitely plenty of room! It looked like they have some outdoor seating as well! All three of us ordered a tasting flight and eat all shared a charcuterie board and a lobster roll. My flight was the Pinot Noir and I was very impressed! Each one was better than the last! The charcuterie board was amazing and something I'd definitely order again. The filling of the lobster roll was good but I wasn't a fan of the bread. Our server was prompt, personable, and so sweet, we enjoyed her very much! I love the different seating options and that you can look around at all the wines they have within the building. Our first experience was wonderful and I can't wait to return to try more flights and menu items. I feel this is such a nice place to celebrate, relax or enjoy a date night. Things to note: Reservations recommended in the afternoons on weekends. Kitchen doesn't open until 4:00

I wanted a burger but the only meat burger option came with mushroom Brie, and I'm a mushroom hater so I was disappointed because I really wanted a burger. But the waiter was able to order me a veggie burger with a meat patty (I liked the toppings offered). It was delicious! I also ordered salt and vinegar tots with it and those were good too. I've never seen salt and vinegar offered before on fries/tots. Everyone else's dinner at my table looked so good. We had someone with the salmon, someone with salad and steak, someone with meatballs, someone with a Cuban. They all looked so good and made me want to try them all. I did feel my burger was a bit small but the ingredients were fresh and I really liked the flavors. I also wish it came with my arugula, I only got one tiny piece!

I couldn't help but wonder if this was where the previous whispering wines bar was and to my exploring it sure was. It was shortly after halloween but I loved how the sofas had the decor of spooky on the sofas. This is a real sleek bar, and I love the vibe and the ample space there was a handful of guests there but all the better to chill and enjoy some drinks with a friend. The drink I had I really enjoyed, my friend was even able to customize hers and sounds like it is a place that she frequents a lot. Would definitely love to come back and try different drinks.

Tonight, Bryan demonstrated how great service becomes truly extraordinary. He was attentive, genuine, and made our evening feel special from beginning to end. The food, as always, was top-notch. The cocktails were fantastic, the mocktails were just as thoughtfully crafted, and the bread is always a highlight. One of my cousins, who was visiting from out of town, declared this the best meal of his trip and Bryan even made one of his dining dreams come true with exceptional hospitality. Thank you to Bryan and the entire Bistro Napa team for another incredible evening. As a local, I'll continue coming back, and I'll proudly keep introducing friends and family to this iconic Reno dining destination. Every visit exceeds expectations. This version is warm, personal, and highlights both the exceptional service and the consistently outstanding food exactly the kind of review that stands out on Yelp.

Note to self - Come for HH only…read more.. 3.5 stars rounded up. Quality/Quantity - I see that all my HH experiences are 5 stars. Unfortunately for them and I, our main dining experiences are NOT 5 stars. Today we got the following: Complimentary Starter = Good. Shrimp ceviche. Complimentary Bread = Winner, we all loved the bread and had seconds! More bread than I usually eat when dining out. Sea Bass - 3-4 stars. My wife said she would have liked a little more lobster in her dish. Decent portions. Filet Mignon - Our guest barely ate half of her dish. She usually does NOT order steak?!?! She usually orders fish. But she said it was cooked well to her medium request. Pork Chop - Over cooked. Sub baked potato for $3.50 more. The baked potatoes were small, so they gave two. And baked potatoes were also over-baked. See pictures. Elk Chop - My buddy recommended that I try this. I was thinking between this or my usual ribeye or prime rib. The waiter also said to go for it. Sorry, I regret getting this. My dish was over cooked also. The waiter recommended rare, I asked for Medium rare but I think it came medium... Decent portions, but was not able to finish all my veggies. Lastly, my other buddy got the salmon which was also over cooked. And so small of a portion. Sorry, I got distracted and forgot to take a picture. Complimentary cotton candy for 6 to share?!?! Maybe give us two next time...? Complimentary desserts to-go, which was a perfect pairing to my morning coffee cup. No one had room for dessert. I had a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon to wash my dinner down. Ambiance - Nice restaurant in the Atlantis Casino Resort. I just noticed a private room surrounded with wine bottles. Next time I will see if we can request that room. Open kitchen. Plenty of casino parking. Service - The bus boy was good. The waiter was okay. Both today and yesterday, I feel that I receive a little attitude when I don't spend enough $$. See my Lake Tahoe Aleworx Yelp review. We are just light eaters (but i'm a heavy drinker, lol). Price - $400 + very generous tip. My buddy is very generous, 25%+ tip. So we all followed in his footsteps. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success.

If you go, you have to try the Steam Bites, they are my absolute favorite! They're delicious, tangy little bites of joy that are always cooked to perfection (pro-tip: you can also get this as a pizza!). The wine selection is phenomenal. Whether you prefer dry or sweet, they have something you'll love. They brought on a winemaker a while back, and the payoff has been huge, they just took home bronze, silver, and gold at a recent blind tasting wine competition! Incredible food, award-winning wine, and wonderful owners. Highly recommend!

We shared: Marcona Almonds, "The worlds best tasting almonds. Roasted with sea salt and olive oil." Margherita, "a 12" Cauliflower crust with a southwest chipotle pesto sauce topped with roasted tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and basil." A Barbera, a Riesling and a Margarita made with their blackberry wine. We don't know about parking as we all took the RTC FlexRIDE public bus ($1.50 per person for an all day pass) to Centennial Bus Plaza then walked the one-third mile to here, and then back. Here we had a welcome respite until an owner injected Republican politics into our visit...which ruined it for us, who are not Republicans. As of April 2026, the political party demographics in Nevada are approximately 27.2% Democratic, 26.8% Republican and 39.4% Nonpartisan/Independent. In Washoe County, Nevada, registered Democrats made up about 35% of voters, Republicans about 32%, and independents/other about 33%. I rate 'em 2 stars for the Republican politics shared by an owner which ruined it all for me. I then added another review star for their having a Military / Veterans Discount. Their having a Military / Veterans Discount was why we were there as we only support businesses that support we Veterans with a Veterans Discount. In this case, I won't be back because I wasn't there to hear politics. P.S. Don't message me because in spite of my several complaints to yelp, for years now I am unable to open up any messages in yelp to me.

Our server was lovely, newer, but kind with a great sense of humor. The food was good. The salmon and red wine reduction was a very strange combo, skip it. The ambience was nostalgic of fine dining in days past with worn but comfortable seating and pleasant atmosphere. Although, having been too many fun dining establishments, the buses need some training. As they reached across us over us and around us to clear plates and serve. Sadly, the night was abruptly ended as the manager came over. And told us we had to leave because he had another table to seat at ours. There are many ways a manager could do this, and yes, we have been there for a little over two hours, enjoying our time, the service was slow, in a way that encouraged taking your time...a fine dining experience, which generally you would think would be unrushed. We ordered drinks, salad, salads, mains, dessert for 4... No split meals, no split tabs. One credit card and a generous tip. We had already paid the bill and were getting ready to go within the next few minutes because we all needed to be home before 8. The manager came over was extremely unkind and rude in his tone and request. He told me, without provocation, didn't care if we gave him a bad review. And two hours was long enough for dinner. We all walked out in silence, aghast at his terrible manners and words. All that to say, diner beware. This man undid a wonderful evening with a few sharp words and extremely awful service and poor manners. Realizing that had he said it nicely, we would've popped right up. We were already ready to go. And that treating your customers -who just spent a few hundred dollars with you - with respect and warmth versus treating them with contempt and rudeness. We will not be back. Not that he cares, but if you're looking for a place to have a leisurely fine meal over the course of a couple hours, this isn't it.

It was quite busy and very hard to get an order placed at the bar. As we were waiting for the remainder of our party, we grabbed a table top outside and someone from the bar came and took our order which was really nice since we couldn't squeeze in at the bar. I'm not sure what it was for but there was a huge cake that was cut up and passed around which we got to partake in which was kinda cool. They also had a live band playing which added to the overall vibe. They have bar food and a great outdoor seating area with a fire pit. Can definitely see myself making many visits especially in the summer time!
