“ A very nice experience. Our server was Joe who was very nice and I didn't catch the name of his helper but he was great also. The food was very good and the drinks were excellent. The sommelier came to our table asking about drinks and we had went hoping to get a specific cocktail from there that was discontinued. I asked if there was anything similar that could be made but instead he asked what it was that we liked about the drink. After a short discussion he came back with a really wonderful cocktail. The food was very good. I was expecting it to be just another high priced casino restaurant where the quality didn't match. I was mistaken. It was very good quality and cooked well. We will definitely be back. ”
“ Definitely my best dining experience in Reno this trip. The service was on point, very courteous and minfdul, the servers were very prompt and courteous. The food was great. Although I ordered a Bistro burger which was supposed to be waygu l, and I ordered it medium, if was closer to well and I'm not sure it was really waygu, but it was good. Theggarlic fries were good and the lobster mac n cheese and great flavor, a little short on the lobster but delicious nonetheless. Wife had the jumbo shrimp cocktail (delicious), the lobster chowder was cool, it was my first time everybtrying it, I think i would have preferred a regular clamp chowder (which I also tried for the first time on this trip but at a different venue). She also ordered the Oyster Rockefeller, and for my first time having oysters, they were cool. I'm told I should have used hot sauce but nonetheless, good food, great experience. If and when I come back to the Atlantis, Bistro Napa is definitely on the itinerary. ”
“ The food was excellent. We ordered two different types of steak to compare, and a full size lobster tail (100). everything was delicious, from the appetizers to the dessert (baked Alaska, a gift for my wife's birthday). Almost too much service and attention, but it was friendly and not awkward. ”
“ The wife and I dined here twice over a period of 10 days because we drove from San Francisco to Denver and back. We had a wonderful dining experience both times. We had the roasted bone marrow for appetizer, a 14oz. Prime Rib and calamari steak with a bottle of Twomey Pinot Noir the first time we dined here. The food and wine were very good. I could tell that it was a great dinner because we finished all the food and drank all the wine. I'd also like to thank Joe, our waiter, for the spot on wine suggestion. For our 2nd dining experience, I had the Elk chops and the wife ordered Jumbo Prawns Cocktail and the grilled baby artichokes. The wife didn't feel like drinking and I didn't think I could finish a whole bottle by myself. Erick, our waiter, suggested a Pinot Noir to pair with the Elk chops and it really worked out great. I've never had Elk chops before but I would definitely order it again the next time we're dine here. Thanks for 2 wonderful dining experiences... ”
“ My husband took me for Valentines dinner 2025. I have to say this place is impressive as you walk in it has a very romantic vibe and deam light. The hostess will walk you to your table and ask for your coat to be stored until you finish your dinner. We opted for the Valentines menu (100 per person), which was four-course. As soon as I sat down, the waiter handed me a fresh red rose. He was very helpful, smiley, and friendly. We couldn't make up our mind on the wine selection they have. He brought us a sample from the wine he was recommending, and we went for that particular one. We have a waiter and a busboy attending us the whole time they were very, very attentive to every need we had during our dinner time. The food was EXCELLENT 5 STARS 1. Scallops ceviche. 2 Aragula salad/orange jam and strawberrys on top of cottage chesse (perfect combination. My favorite). 3 Filet mignon/smash potato and sparragus and finally 4. Chocolate ice cream in a heart shape/cookie and cotton candy. I told my husband that we definitely need to go back to this restaurant. ”
“ The service could have been better since I got the happy hour seats . I think the boa bun being fried crispy is what took so long. The food here is great. I really want to try the calamari next time. I got the Asian ribs, boa bun , & prime rib sliders. . All was very yummy. I also got a virgin drink that was very tasty. I would recommend reserving a table ahead of time to avoid the wait. ”
“ Lively but classy atmosphere and environment. Our service was impeccable thanks to Eddie and Vito. There were large groups of people sitting near and around the four of us, but our service never dropped below 5 Stars! Having an exposed kitchen is always desirable, so you can watch the chefs in action if you choose to and to see the cleanliness of the establishment. Our appetizers, entrees and dessert were artfully presented and all were delicious. When the Service AND Food are this good, it is easy to state that this was an excellent dining experience. I highly recommend Bistro Napa! ”
“ Napa Bistro during Happy Hour is one of our favorite spots. The restaurant is always clean, the service is great, and the food is both delicious and affordable. If you want a table during happy hour, make sure to get there early—otherwise, you might have to wait, but it’s definitely worth it. They’re always adding new dishes to the menu, but my go-to favorites are the steamed Manila clams and the prime rib sliders. So good! ”
