Thai Lotus (Reno, NV)

Posted by Unknown Monday, July 19, 2010 0 comments

Thai Lotus is one of my new favorite places to catch lunch in Reno. You get not only great tasting but beautifully presented food. Your meal comes out on a large ornate platter with a small salad, a rice paddie, your main course and an egg roll each on their own dish. The effect along with the friendly servers makes you think that you should be paying far more than the usual $8 bucks!


It is a great place to have a casual business meeting as well as have a quick romantic bite to eat.

I really need to stop by for dinner soon!

Country Garden Restaurant (Reno, NV)

Posted by Unknown Thursday, July 15, 2010 0 comments

I finally took Zo to Arlington Gardens or rather my mother finally took us both. I have been telling Zo for 2 years that I would take her for lunch but we have never gone. Why? I do not have a clue! It may be because it was always hard to get into. You had to make reservations sometimes a day in advance. If you have not been there in a while and this was one of the reasons you stopped going you should defiantly rediscover it.

You can still call ahead but in the past 4 months it has not been overly crowded. They've have been able to easily squeeze us in last minute. The food is still as tasty as ever and the environment is great for any type of business meeting or romantic luncheon get together.

What Francis says: Great atmosphere, great service, good food.

What Zo says: Why did Francis take so long to bring me here? It is a fabulous place to have lunch!

Santa Fe (Reno, NV)

Posted by Unknown Wednesday, July 7, 2010 0 comments


Traditional Basque Dining family style dinner at its best! There are a few really good basque family style restaurants around Reno but the Santa Fe has to be my favorite. Even the location feels special in the bottom floor of the old Santa Fe Hotel. the service is always great, the food is always tasty and their is always way more than you could ever eat! If you love basque food and family style dinners make sure to give this place a try!

What Francis Says: I highly suggest ordering the Oxtail as your appetizer it goes great with the lamb, pork or steak!

What Zo says: Really great place to go with small or large groups of friends, nummy food!

Firkin' Wolf Pub

Posted by Unknown Tuesday, July 6, 2010 0 comments

The Firkin' chain of British Pubs is owned and operated by a British Canadian company. Confusing? YES! Although we usually do not stop in huge corporate chain restaurants we were looking for something we had not had and had burgers and brews.


The atmosphere is defiantly friendly and clean, even the menus are clean, I commented on this and was told they wipe them down every month. We ordered some appetizers, some brews and a burger. The burger was alright, the appetizers were pretty darn good and the brews were great! They have a huge beer and ale selection with just enough home town and microbreweries to fill it out. They even had my dad's favorite Samuel Smith's Out meal stout that I have not seen in 6 years. I ordered one and I have to say it is one of the best beers I have ever had. Zo had a Belgian White from the tap that was crisp, light and fruity.

The servers are super friendly, informative and helpful.

What Francis says: Great place to share a brew and appetizer while watching a game.

What Zo says: Great selection of Beers and Ales, OK burgers.

Bassett Station & Cafe

Posted by Unknown 0 comments

Bassett Cafe in Bassett, CA on the road between Downeville and Sierraville is a great place to stop in for a great malt or down home burger! They are super friendly and make you fee as if you grew up stopping in every day.


I had a Peanut Butter cup malt that was so good Zo made me go back the next day to get one for herself. They hamburgers, cheeseburgers and sandwiches remind you of the likes found at an old fashion down home dinner. They are juice, tasty and really hit the spot! If you are on the 49 make sure to stop in and have a bite to eat! (They are also a general store, this came in really helpful because I need some fishing bait and a coat!)

What Francis Says: MAN I WANT ANOTHER MALT!

What Zo says: Super friendly service and great malts and food!
