Carson City Restaurants

We had a fantastic experience at dukes. We ordered the wedge salad, the crab cake (which was divine) short rib and scallops entrees and concluded with the cobbler and creme brûlée. Overall ever dish was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The short rib was one of the best we’ve tried and the crème brûlée was large and so so good. Our server, Adrian was attentive and made the entire experience elevated with his knowledge of the dishes and timing of courses. Would highly recommend this for date night or celebrations.

This is my 4th time eating at Gordon Ramsay’s Hells Kitchen in Tahoe. The reservation system on Open Table is easy. The ambience was great and the food was delicious. My kids had a great time.

Expected a bit of “more show than go” but was impressed overall. The atmosphere and vibe, of course, is extremely pleasing. There were nine of us and we were pleased to be accommodated. Our server did a really really good job. A group of our size can be a lot but she handled us with the upmost professional and timely service possible. Collectively we ordered most of the menu. The hits: the bread course, the goat cheese balls with hot honey, the sliders and the very ample lobster Cobb. The one big miss: Tuna tostadas. A nice portion of 3 but compared to EVERYTHING else it was utterly bland. Here’s the secret… order the goat cheese balls and save the slaw to top the tuna and it’s a hit. The other miss: they would NOT serve anyone sitting in a bar stool. The ladies had seats but our husbands had to stand and the refused service.  I can understand a concern about the walkways filling with too many folks for the servers to work around but this really is a bad policy.  we ultimately left for another pre dinner drink at the bar before returning for dinner.  never give your patrons a reason to leave the restaurant or you might not get them back. Our server had no idea who the producer of Vanderpump Cab from Sonoma was. She should be provided that information. That said we had a fabulous night and highly recommend and will absolutely return. Final note:  we own four restaurants, one of which has been operating for over 40 years as well as a winery in Napa Valley. We know well crafted cusine and fine tuned hospitality. Lisa has both dialed in perfectly except for the few glitches mentioned above.

We ate last night at Mangia Tutto's for my wife's birthday. Service and food were well above expectations and the server brought my wife a cheesecake after dinner with a candle on it. This just seemed like a special evening for her. I know she thought so. Well done.
