This has become a favorite spot of ours to share with family and friends. Several of our Reno friends had not been to this jewel of Sparks restaurants! We love it best when we can dine on the patio - it’s simply another world! And with our Nevada sunshine, we can often do this throughout the seasons. There is most always very good service and excellent food. We love it here!

Tonite was Italian night at The Grille at Somersett. My husband and I were joined by another couple. There was a buffet set up featuring romaine lettuce with Ceasars dressing, parmesan cheese and croutons. Fresh , flavorful and delicious. It was accompanied by excellent garlic bread which was warm, chewy with a delicious flavor. Also on the buffet was sausages, chicken parmesan, eggplant parmesan and a pork dish. Kudos to all. The highlight, however, was the pasta bar. You were given a choice of spaghetti or tricolor rotini. The chef sauted to order your choices of fresh veggies including asparagus, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, garlic, zucchini; ground beef if you like, then added your choice of red or white sauce and topped with parmesan cheese. Really delicious. Dessert was also available. As a vegetarian I greatly appreciated the variety of choices available. Service was very good. I would highly recommend The Grille's special dinner events or the Grille's menu in general.

As usual the Oyster Bar provides excellent food and service. The bar is usually crowded with many seeking to enjoy what it has to offer but this is not a deterrent as customers are cycled in and out in a fairly reasonable amount of time.

About the restaurant

Located at 243 S. Sierra St. in a building erected in 1940, specifically for a restaurant, is the home of a unique gathering place. The original address was 243 Granite St. hence the name…Old Granite Street Eatery.

With a menu that reflects a strong desire to provide familiar, comforting dishes having an emphasis on quality ingredients. Combined with constantly rotating craft beer selections, focused wine options and hand crafted cocktails, Old Granite Street Eatery looks to be a casual affordable everyday option for neighbors and community to share in great food and drink. We only reserve 1/3 of our restaurant through OpenTable in order to facilitate walk-in traffic. We also have a large communal table for sit-down service. Please included any children and infants in the total in your party for reservations.

The food was delicious and our server was great. The only small thing was the timing of dessert. Everything else was reasonably timed, but it took a really long time to get dessert out. Overall, it was a very enjoyable meal.
