Second time here and it was another great experience! We came here for Valentine's Day dinner last year and it was so good we did it again this year! We were lucky someone cancelled because I only booked it about one week out and they only had that one spot open for the night. The staff over the phone and in person were very kind. We were seated right at our reservation time, but if we arrived early they would've have room at their beautiful bar to grab a drink at before dinner. Great wine, great steak cooked perfectly, I had the rib eye special and my wife had the filet. We did a "baked Alaska" for desert, my first time having it and it was well worth the extra calories! We decided this will be a valentines tradition for us now! Plus we plan to come back when the weather is nice too because they have a great outdoor dining area too!
This well known local restaurant was the location of my birthday dinner and my first visit. A great surprise for me because from start to finish this was a fantastic choice for a celebration dinner. The whole meal from start to finish was delicious. The 5 onion soup was a wonderful surprise and super delicious. The lobster tail, the beef, salad, veggies, all fantastic. Service was excellent and the server was most helpful and provided excellent suggestions. Inside was clean and inviting the wine was fantastic. Will definitely visit again!
We booked reservations at another restaurant and upon arrival it was not exactly what we were expecting. We called Bricks to see if we needed a reservation and we were told to just come in and they would take care of us. Upon arriving we were greeted by a wonderful host and seated right away. This was exactly what we were looking for for a date night. Ambiance was cozy and elegant! Service was phenomenal all night! Food was great a bit too salty for my liking but delicious! Highly recommend this place for you next date night!
Second year in a row for the company office party! It was fantastic again! The service from Heidi and her supporting staff was beyond outstanding. Her presence with her professionalism, kindness, genuine and friendly banter combined with her interpersonal people skills are what made the night a tremendous success. The food was also delicious as it seemed like everyone enjoyed their selected salads, entrees and desserts. It was a predetermined fixed menu for the group of 25 of us. I ordered the house salad, ribeye steak and the raspberry cheesecake. Wow, everything was delicious, every bite wonderful. My hubby ordered the wedge salad, ravioli mushrooms and the baked Alaska. He loved all of it and ate every bite! Kudos to the chef and kitchen staff for preparing hot and delicious food for our entire party! If I could choose the Christmas party venue for the office, I would certainly choose Bricks every time! Thank you Heidi!!!
Bricks is old Reno. It's an elegant steak house. The service was spot on. This was my second time here. Last time I was with two guy friends and we all enjoyed it. This time I was on a date. It felt romantic. My date enjoyed her dinner. I had the filet. They did it right. I brought a bottle of wine and the corkage was reasonable. I'd choose Bricks again for a special dinner.
The food is top notch. I my friend ordered the salmon and it looked fresh and plentiful. I ordered the Filet Mignon medium rare. It was lightly seasoned allowing the char flavor to first hit the taste buds. The meat was so tender and delicious. The portion size was plentiful. The mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables complemented the steak perfectly. The service, as always was professional, proficient and personable. The ambiance is a fine dining experience. The decor is pleasant and rich.
Our new favorite restaurant! Every single ingredient was so fresh and so flavorful! The service was warm and professional. A great place to unwind with delicious food and wine after a long week. While so many other restaurants in town seem like they're trying so hard to impress with what's cool and trendy now, Bricks feels like the older, more mature counterpart that doesn't NEED to impress because they know through and through that they're simply downright good. They know food, they know flavors-- every single dish was subtlely flavored, perfectly balanced, and cooked to perfection. The natural beauty of each ingredient came through without being overshadowed by "innovative" flavor combinations or scant-yet-fancy presentations. If you simply love good food and wine, you'll get it at Bricks!
As a former chef and a gluten free person, this is my new pick for fine dining. I've been here a couple of times now and realize it is consistently one of the best - if not THE best - restaurants in town. Every course was a delight; the service was friendly and attentive; the ambiance reads 'updated classic.' They had abalone on special, lightly breaded with (non gluten) flour. We got the appetizer which was small for four but what a bite it was! Prepared picatta style with lemon and capers, it was perfect, chef's kiss! My mom and I shared the lump crab salad which was divine, crab mixed with artichoke hearts and hearts of palm, served over mixed greens. It was simply delectable! My stay-dad, the birthday boy, ordered the five onion soup which was a creamy base with sherry notes. He said it was wonderful. Entrees consisted of filet Mignonette, elk chops and the wild salmon and everything was incredible! The filet was the best of all but the elk was done perfectly. It's the sauce in the filet that makes it so good, as well as the quality and cook on the meat. The salmon came with a lovely sauce and the birthday boy loved it!! The baked Alaska dessert was good but consisted mostly of ice cream. A nice amaretto cookie base and piped meringue on top. This was probably the weakest part of the meal. No big deal, though because the cappuccino was great and the decaf espresso got a nice review, as well! Drinks were superb, I had the grapefruit basil martini and a Chopin martini with bleu cheese olives! My daughter said the cosmos weee on point. The bar was also happy to accommodate mocktail requests from the elders with delicious virgin mojito and strawberry daiquiri.
My favorite thing from what we ordered would have had to be the onion soup. My boyfriend and I actually fought over it, haha. The crab cakes were underseasoned for my liking. The seafood thermidor was a little too salty for me but tasted better once I added acidity by squeezing a couple lemon wedges on it. The Caesar salad was okay. The chicken pasta was great! Also loved the lobster bisque and baked Alaska. Our server and food runner were great and very attentive, I forgot their names! Also a very quaint and cozy place to have a nice dinner.
Bricks is one of the best restaurants in Reno. This is usually at the top of my list for a birthday or anniversary celebration dinner I recommend making a reservation Service is top tier. From the moment you arrive until it's time to leave, they take care of you This evening I tried the BBQ peppered prawns as an appetizer. Grilled prawns and mushrooms in a very savory pepper and garlic sauce. My main course was a Steak Oscar not on the menu. The steak was a filet cooked rare and topped with Dungeness crab. Delicious My libation of choice throughout the evening were a few old fashioneds made with Blanton's. This is one of the few places in town that serves my favorite bourbon
