Visited prior to a performance at the Pioneer. Wait staff was very friendly and proficient (Justin I believe). He asked if we were there for the performance and knew we needed to get in an get out. We sat outside and had it not been for the wind it would have been great (no fault of the restaurant)! Overall a positive experience!

We love the Wild River Grill and about half the time we attend a performance at the Pioneer Center, we have dinner here before the show. I don’t know what was going on, or what kind of issues plagued them this night. But dinner was slow. And by slow, the word glacial comes to mind. We sat down at a few minutes before 6pm for a 7:30pm show. We got our entrees at 7:10 pm. We ordered off the show special menu (Tina). The app and “1st” course came out together, then nothing for 45 minutes. The waiter and manager apologized and comped another glass of wine for my wife and they ended up not charging us for the coffee we guzzled down before sprinting to the theatre. The ushers were starting to close the doors as we arrived. I really don’t know what the issue was, if it was the show menu, don’t offer one if you aren’t capable of delivering. There’s other options on the menu that are good. If it was other issues. I hope you can fix them. We might skip Wild River for the next show, but they’re never going to be crossed off our list. To summarize, make sure you give yourself plenty of time if it’s show night at the Pioneer Center.

We have dined at the Wild River Grille a few times a year over the past 10 years and have always enjoyed the food. This time the preparation, flavor and quality did not seem quite up to what we have received in the past. The double cut pork chop had a strange barbecue flavor that was unpleasant and the ahi poke was more fried won tons than poke. It was still very good, but just not quite up to the quality and level of past dining experiences at the Wild River Grille.

This was our second experience at Wild River Grille. The food was great and the servers very friendly. We ate on the patio outside because it was dog friendly. They also have a very nice selection of Bourbons and other liquor to choose from. The roasted Brussel sprout appetizer is outstanding.

We had an excellent waitress. Table was outside in a very small area. The umbrella was removed near our table but the stand was let in the isle way Several people tripped on it and our waitress ran into it several times. My husband finally removed from the area.

The food and service were excellent. We have never had a problem with the food or service. We sat on the patio and we were not aware that there was some man band singing outside. We were seated right in front of him and he was extremely loud. We sat next to each other and still could not hear each other talk. We appreciate the entertainment however turn the volume down. All the patrons had to yell at each other and the waiter had to yell at us so we could hear him.

Steak was cooked to order (medium) but was tough and with a lot of gristle. Carrots were undercooked and not even "al dente" The plating was not ideal with steak just placed on top of the mashed potatoes. A very limited choice and preparation of common and favorite vegetables was available.

Not as we thought. We chose this place for our anniversary based on the reviews. We were extremely disappointed. Our waiter was not that great, and he would forget to bring things we ordered. We ordered a bottle of wine, and about 20 mins in, we asked him and he forgot. The pasta and shrimp dish was not good. My husband did enjoy the steak, but not for that price. It was an average restaurant and I wouldn’t visit again. Our waiter also never acknowledged that we were celebrating anything, nor did he ask if we were. Too expensive for that type of experience.

Excellent service and we really enjoyed the outside seating. We weren’t thrilled with the steaks we ordered. We ordered both a filet and a ribeye medium rare, but each were served undeniably medium. The steaks were good enough to not bring it to the attention of staff, but next time we’ll emphasize medium rare. The sides were good and our daughter really enjoyed the mushroom ravioli. All in all, a good experience.

Lovely setting by the Truckee. Some things to keep in mind...menu has changed...no fish tacos; no calamari; no steamed claims. Prices? Appear to have increased significantly. Quality of food...okay. Dinner for two (w/split salad/entree) with tip = $112.

The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The cocktails were superior and our waiter could not have been more attentive. A real superior experience.
