Simon's Cafe Lounge - Reno

Great eating, friendly service, but be ready to wait just a bit. they are probably short distributed as any other restaurant throughout the country! do not count this against the business. with that.

Great outdoor patio for lunch. The service was quick and so was the food. Loved the atmosphere. Nice little diner for a quick bite. I had the veggie burger with bacon and a side salad. It was perfection. No limp bacon here.

Warm hearts and cold libations greeted me as I enjoyed this local gem! A solid bourbon selection led me down the path of an exquisite old fashioned. Sloan, the owner/bartender was fun with a copious knowledge of Reno history as she let me know some local favorites!

I hadn 't been to Simon 's in awhile and our good friend, Frank O suggested we join him as his guest for lunch. We ordered two spinach salads, one of their specialty salads and a long-time favorite of mine. Once it arrived, it didn 't disappoint. A bit smaller but COVID has done that to many restaurants. Hubby-Keith ordered a tuna melt and it arrived quickly, so much so, he was done before our salads arrived. Some miscommunication in the kitchen our bartender-server suggested without apology. Our bread wasn 't included, apparently most of her customers don 't want bread and although included, one has to ask because of her other customer practices. We also pre ordered a Togo order and we 're made to wait again, being told she waited until we were finished, a practice not welcomed my book without communication. Food receives 5 stars, service scale-2. Our consummate host tipped her according to our collective total, not service for today. I know he 's hoping t.I.p . Will be understood as 'to insure prompt ' service for his next visit! Chock it up to a bad day, going to try. Again, good food preparation!

If there was a textbook definition of a local's neighborhood bar, this would be it. Note that most of the neighborhood around it is retired folks, so there's your crowd. But it's a homey little place, with very good food. They have a big covered patio that's one of the best in town in the warmer weather. Inside there is a bar to the right and restaurant on the left separated by a wall. The bar is cozy and comfortable, with decades of different signage, contests, and memorabilia on the wall. And golf. Because of the patronage lots of golf on TV's scattered around. A few tables in the bar area, but mostly seats at the bar. In the dining room there are booths and tables. Some of the service clubs have meetings there where they push a bunch of tables together at the lunch hour. We don't sit in the restaurant much, preferring tables at the bar. The food is fantastic though. Everything I've tried there has been 5-star. They have brunch specials on the weekends, and prime rib night (Friday . As others have noted their hours vary greatly, and the service is spotty. The day bartender is very good; polite and helpful. Most of the bartenders wear a mask but not all. Definitely a place to have a nice lunch, a few cocktails, dinner, or just gamble, listen to the regular's BS, and watch a game (or golf! .
