Listen, the food here is good, don't get me wrong. I found myself say "oh yea that's good" quite a bit. Well prepared and well executed- everything we tried. I had the confit and foie gras for my main dish and it was a 7/10. Deanna F had the hanger steak frites and the steak was 8/10- fries were prepared well and bernaise sauce was -pretty- good. The French onion soup we split 4 ways lol it was very good. Profiteroles 6/10 (ice cream wasn't that great and pastry was a bit too chewy), and mousse 9/10. I kept going back and forth over how many stars to give and I just had to hold back because while it was nice to have a long leisurely meal with friends, the food took too long. Like way too long for every course. They were probably busier than normal I don't know, but you're a French restaurant- if the kitchens backed up- do something about it. AmuseBouche maybe?because the appetizers took almost 25 minutes to come out. It was an hour and a half almost from when we sat down to when we got our mains. Our server was good, her support was fine but that was not acceptable service without some kind of amends. We were sat out on our own in the secondary seating room and candidly you do kind of feel a bit of an afterthought.. the decor in there is sparse and the stemware and all that feels kind of secondary, but the main room and bar were cute what we saw of it.

Fun quaint place near the river. The food was very fresh and well prepared! There are two sections of the building which would be neat for private events. Our servers were very nice and patient. We will be back for sure! If I had one critique it would be the bread to butter ratio more butter is required for our group... lmao! Thank you for a nice double date night.

It's hard to describe Beaujolais Bistro as anything but charming. We sat outside on the deck where we enjoyed a nice quiet dinner overlooking the walking path and the Truckee River. The server was friendly and attentive making the overall night and service quite pleasant. I ordered the pork chop in a Dijon Sooubise sauce that was rich and decadent. The pork chop was juicy and cooked to perfection but the sauce easily made the dish. A perfect spot for a nice quiet romantic dinner; however, it can get busy and is best to make reservations well in advance.

The ambiance was really special. We went here for a belated Valentines dinner and were happy to celebrate with this meal. The bacon wrapped dates were our favorite. The baked phyllo was rich and delicious. This was my first time having French food, and it was different than my usual pallet, but I am happy I got to experience a restaurant that cares about local and organic sourcing. The service was kind and attentive, especially for a busy service night.

We went here for a traditional dinner with friends! The service and ambiance is top tier. I love how small and personable it is. The waiters know the menu and are so helpful when deciding what to order. I think I just didn't order what I wanted and ordered something I'd hope I would enjoy. I would love to go back and try something else because I've heard nothing but amazing things about the food.

This review is regarding their 5 course Valentines Day Special- This restaurant has always been in close visual of my weekend walks from midtown towards the riverwalk. It is a beautiful view to and inside this wonderful establishment. The ambiance was amazing, the service was divine, and the experience was something that will be transformative every time. In this new age of fine dining; we are often posed with the quandary of price, quality of food, ambiance, and overall..."is it worth it?" Well in my humble opinion it was/is/and will continue to be worth it. If you have an anniversary, a special romantic evening with someone or simply want to take your taste buds dancing...this is the place to be. 12/10, WILL definitely be coming back.

A fabulous restaurant for fine dining in the downtown Reno area. This place sets the standard for high end restaurants in the entire area. Quaint and dimly lit, the dining room is romantic and inviting. Although one big room, you feel tucked away at each table in your own little area. Walking in, one may feel as if they are eating at a quaint little European town restaurant. The menu has something for everyone from wild game to seafood to steaks and more. Soups and salads are creative and sizeable. They are never boring or mundane. Appetizers are also unique but let's not forget, delicious. I was with a group of seven guests and we were dining for a dinner meeting. We ordered an array of appetizers including the Brussels sprouts, duck and mushroom cigars, escargot, bacon wrapped dates and the foie gras. I thought they were all very tasty. Truly each was delicious. My only complaint would be with the foie gras. It was not seared but served cool and was not my absolute favorite but I'd have another bite again at any time. The table each had a salad. The frisée' salad came with a perfectly cooked poached egg, the caesar salad was not on the menu but if you ask they will bring it. I had the pear and watercress salad which was surprisingly delightful. One guest had the onion soup which looked absolutely amazing with melty cheese about the entire steamy top. I ordered the venison chops with a berry reduction. The sweet and gently tart sauce paired well with the medium-rare cooked and very mild gaminess of the meat giving an excellent overall taste. The scalloped potatoes were melt-in-your-mouth delicious. I tasted some of my colleagues meals as well. The filet mignon had a little truffle added to the sauce which added well to the perfectly cooked beef. The sea bass was easy on the eyes and the mouth as well. Very tasty. I also was able to get a bite of one of my friends scallop dish. Perfectly cooked with flavor that just popped; it is one of their signature dishes. They offer an extensive wine list and a very unique menu of cocktails able to be stirred up by their mixologist. The desert menu followed suit with delectable sounding offerings but I was stuffed and had no room to order. I cannot wait to return.

When it comes to French dining, my question when I depart is whether I experienced something memorable for my pallat. And the bistro certained met that criteria. The bacon wrapped dates appetitzer was delightful. The squash curry soup with apple had the right blend of flavors. The hanger steak entry was quite good though perhaps the least remarkable part of the meal. And we enjoyed raspberry panna cotta dessert which was a fitting end to the meal. I don't drink so can't speak of the drink menu. Very professional service. Interior ambience is suitable to the setting, relaxing and intimate. Now, do keep in mind when it comes to French fine dining, the price tag for the quantity of food in exchange are as usual abysmal. Thus hardly a contested point worth deducting point for.

Got to check this restaurant out for first class food and nice ambiance. Wednesday night in November was hopping like a Saturday. We started with wine and sparkling water. Next came the delicious pumpkin seed crusted quail and exquisite watercress pear salad. Entrees chosen were steak with fries and filet mignon. Can't say enough about how perfect these dishes were. If you cook a lot, you won't be disappointed. Excellent food! One word to management- your hostess should greet EVERYONE at the door with a warm welcome. No telling where your next review is coming from. Instead, we were greeted with a "do you have reservations?" at your 5:00 pm opening. That was a turn off. Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
