    Great food, nice outdoor seating, as well as indoor, awesome waitstaff, and free easy parking at the courthouse around the corner after 5pm weekdays - not sure about Saturdays or Sundays. Summertime music outside, a bit pricey but well worth it! Great for special occasions.

    Overall we had a great experience at the Wild River Grille. The food and drinks were great. However, the place isn’t cheap and while the river is nearby, you can barely see it from the the patio, hence the 4 stars for value. Still, this is a great place for a lunch and/or a cocktail or two and we will definitely be back for a visit when we are in Reno.

    Once again I made a lunch reservation for my friend and I. It was her 92nd birthday and we just love coming here to sit by the river and enjoy the scenery and a bit of old Reno! It is a special treat to come here , it’s a bit more expensive than regular restaurants but we don’t mind paying a bit extra for the view and outdoor ambiance not to mention the food. I usually have the shrimp tacos but today I tried the blackened chicken Po’boy sandwich. It was delicious! Just enough spice to give it bit of a kick and the creole sauce was perfect. Of course the house made kettle chips always yummy. My friend had the turkey sandwich , no cheese, and was delighted at how much turkey was piled on the toasted bread along with bacon. She brought half home to have for dinner. As for me I ate my whole sandwich. Pauline was our server and very sweet and adept. I had mentioned in making my reservation that it was a birthday celebration and Pauline informed us that we got a free dessert on the house. We chose the lemon raspberry mousse parfait- it was light and refreshing and hit the spot. So again the Wild River Grille was perfection for us today! We will return for sure! Thank you for our fabulous lunch and great service! I forgot to take pictures because I was so excited to eat my lunch!
