    Should have been great. A great location, but poor service and lackluster food. Would not choose again.

    Our brunch was very nice though my husbands omelet was very bland and my chiliqueas was not served hot, but they were busy! Great energy in the room as it was a UNR football home game Saturday.

    We have always loved the Shore Room...it's a family favorite. But yesterday's' experience was awful. They sat us at a table way in the back of the restaurant near a window that was broken, and it was freezing. They made no effort to fix the window, or offer to move us even though the restaurant was pretty empty. It took forever for our drinks to come, and when our food arrived, much of it was room tempature like it had been sitting around for awhile. Overall, a very dissappointing experience. May be a while before we return.

    Lovely setting by the river. Interesting menu, everyone found something they wanted to try. Food service was very slow - we came at 5 PM with no crowd in the dining room, and didn't get our entrees until after 6 PM. One friend got a large piece of salmon as an addition to the watermelon salad (which she enjoyed). I got a small piece of salmon on my salmon entree, which seemed just wrong to me: although the dish tasted fine, I felt cheated. Another friend enjoyed the lamb dish.

    Overall wonderful experience. I took my mom out for dinner before the theatre. We hadn’t been here in a long time and they have changed the menu since then and unfortunately removed many of the items we loved and had specifically chose this restaurant. My mom jokingly lamented the changes and the waitress apologized and gave us a minute to explore the new menu. A moment or two later, she brought out the chef and they tried to figure out if they could make something similar to what her favorite dish was. She was so thankful but politely declined, not wanting to be a bother. In a time when service is lacking pretty much everywhere, I was genuinely surprised and blown away by their gesture. Our waitress provided excellent service the whole meal, giving us tips and suggestions, answering our questions, and helping my friend find things that were within her dietary needs. The food was wonderful as was our mocktails. The only complaint I have was that I feel the prices were a little high now. Despite the amazing service, likely not a place we’d go back to too often, but would save for special occasions or just a drink/dessert before the theater.

    The Salmon was amazing and so was the Beef. Service is good and the atmosphere on the water is wonderful.

    Food was exceptional, waitress delightful, view of the river was a wonderful touch. My only comment would be to add additional dinner options. Salmon was excellent, but Menu is very limited with few seafood options. Chilean sea bass and Lamb would be a nice addition. I will be back it was a lovely evening.

    Great setting with food that's changed since the Exec Chef has changed. We've been going here and celebrated NYE, birthdays and anniversaries for a decade, hoping things can only get better. We'll keep trying! Basic staples don't disappoint.

    Prices are too high, for $52 steak…and it comes with fries, not the best solution.
