Machi's Saloon & Grill — Restaurant in Elko

I want to hear I didn't dine in but the place seemed really busy it was a Wednesday in the evening maybe around 5:00 or 6:00 p.m. For how busy they were my coworkers and I were helped promptly. The staff answered all our questions. I ordered the Wednesday night dinner special it was a braised lamb, it came with a dinner salad, a dinner roll, I think it was polenta on the side, and then there's some sort of brown sauce kind of like gravy but not quite as thick very tasty. The meat was practically melting off the bone. It was $38 and some change, definitely one of the pricier options on the menu, there were more than a few entrees that were well under $20. I absolutely would recommend this place to anybody and I look forward to sitting down and getting to enjoy the atmosphere. I should have took pictures of the food it was presented pretty well even though it was in...

Personally I've been here twice... Disappointing service each time, not because they're rude but because they take a very long time to get to you... Let me tell you a bit about my current evening... we waited 20 min to be seated with 2 tables open... then we get seated, we then wait a whole hour for the appetizer (side note: we ordered drinks and got those after the appetizer) and then our salad and bread and 10 min of not having anything else we finally got or entrées.... And to further disappointment it was terrible.... both me and my boyfriend could not finish the food that was served it tasted terrible I had to spit out my cold chicken that's tasted like something from the frozen food section (banquet inspired? ) yea... we won't be coming again to "try the food" I'm done after...

We were in town for one night & this place had great reviews so we walked to it from our hotel. It was a Monday night but very busy! It's a fairly small place with a 1/3 of it being the bar & the rest the dining area, I would call it a locals spot with a cool vibe. The service was great & the food was excellent! The menu has a variety of options, some of them Basque inspired, that seemed to be a theme in Elko. We both got the "shrimp alfredo", not it's name on the menu but you get the idea, it was excellent & wow, 9-10 pieces of jumbo shrimp, I've never received that many shrimp in any dish, very generous! We shared the carrot cake which I'm pretty sure was made in house as it was a bit unique but very good! All in all, a great evening out & we would come back if ever...
