The weekend has only just started. My father is having a birthday and both my sisters are visiting from California. This presents the opportunity to enjoy what fine dining Reno has to offer. After narrowing down a few nice restaurant’s in town, Bricks Restaurant & Wine Bar in Reno seemed to have fit the bill (Something I will explain a little later).
As we entered the establishment, our maître d’ showed us to our table. Their dinner menu is only two pages but with an ample amount of appitizers, salads and main courses. Some main course examples are the filet mignon, rib eye steak, shrimp scampi, new zealand rack of lamb and others. They also have specials that the wait staff will announce before ordering. Please note that the wait staff is well informed about each dish so feel free to ask questions.
Whoever has been to this restaurant usually orders the stuff mushrooms with the escargot and bleu cheese. The other three occupied tables ordered them. Each order has six pieces of those ever so tasty morsels. We all thoroughly enjoyed them. It was my sister’s fiancee’s first time trying escargot. He liked them very much.
I ordered one of the specials which was the Elk chops cooked medium with the lobster soup Manhattan style. I was expecting it to taste gamy but there was no hint of it. It was a nice tender piece of meat. The presentation was also good. The soup on the other hand was perfect. It had a fair amount of lobster in the tomato based broth. An adequate amount of salt and spices rounded it out.
This is a very good restaurant that a lot of people aren’t informed about. But from us at everythingreno, we recommend this restaurant. If you’re going out for a very nice dinner, and you don’t mind spending a bill and a half for the both of you, this is a great place. Appetizers run in the 10 dollar range while the main courses run from 20-50 dollar range.
