Biscotti’s Cafe — Restaurant in Reno

First, the service was excellent. I have nothing but praise for our server. He confidently suggested my favorite of the 4 dishes that we ordered.

Summary: Good to try! Next time I'm getting the Chicken Piccata! The Monte Cristo is a dessert for lunch and it's really good!

We ordered [1] Avocado Egg Rolls $19 appetizer [2] Wood-Grilled Salmon $36 [3] Wine Country Salad $24 and the [4] Monte Cristo $19.5.

[1] The avocado egg rolls were good! I'd give them a 4 out of 5. Although they come with a lot of avocado inside (which is awesome) the texture is a bit soft which forced me to eat some of the butter-lettuce garnish for crunch.

[2] The wood-grilled salmon itself was excellent (flavor and cook). The red pepper broth (sauce) was fresh and brought the whole dish together with the fresh sliced vegetables on top and potatoes below. However, the potatoes themselves would have probably been better if they were cut in half twice-again at some point before making it to the table as I felt I had to cut every potato multiple times to fit on my fork with a little bit of fish or vegetable. The description on the menu says "SMASHED" potatoes but they certainly were not. Now, big potatoes aren't always an issue but because the sauce had a nice body to it, and the fact that the potatoes were already dense and hydrated, the best I could do was scoop some sauce onto the potato bites as it wouldn't really soak in. Fish 4.5 out of 5; potatoes 3 out of 5.

[3] The wine country salad had some of my favorite flavor combinations: cashew, goat cheese, and raspberry vinaigrette that was thick and saucy almost like a reduction that stuck to the salad wonderfully! There were grapes, raspberries, and tiny apple rectangles scattered about. But, the chicken was a little dry -- definitely not juicy or moist. And I felt that because the entirety of the vegetable was being carried by spinach, it became wet under the vinaigrette during the meal and lost it's vibrancy resulting in a sort of sogginess. I would have liked a little red leaf lettuce mixed in to add more bounce to the dish, but my best recommendation is to just eat this dish quickly! If you eat the dish in 5-10 minutes, I bet it would be a 5 out of 5, but the lack of stamina in the dish makes me give it a 4 out of 5 overall.

[4] Holy heck. The. Monte. Cristo. This is a turkey, ham, and cheese triple decker sandwich cut into 4 big chunks and then deep fried with powdered sugar sprinkled on top. And it is served with strawberry jam. I was in heaven. It wasn't healthy, but it was soul food. I was nourished in ways best described as biblical. If you are okay with fried food, order this. 5 out of 5. And...

Horrible experience. I ordered a New York steak. Everything was great, service etc until I cut into my steak and it was bright blue inside Our server was nice and took it back to the kitchen as she has never seen that before. The manager then stops by our table and said she spoke to the chef and he said that it’s normal. Cows are branded with a blue dye that you can’t get out, it’s totally safe to eat. I respectfully declined as I have never seen that before and I have eaten a lot of steak in my life. The manager said she would discount my meal since I ate the veggies, some potatoes and half the steak until I discovered the blue dye she took $15 off the bill. I was completely offended. I asked her if she was in my position how would she feel. She said she’s tryin got run a business!!!! I was at a loss of words. She then said ok let’s not make this a big deal. It’s only food, I’ll just comp that steak. Un ba leiv able. I expect this at some rink a dink place but was completely taken back by her negative attitude and a “discount” lol. I’ll never go back. Our company was staying there (25 of us) and even rented out conference space. We will now...

My husband and I stopped in for breakfast before heading out of town after the Superbowl viewing party. We've been here a few times and typically really enjoy dining here. This time honestly was not terrible, our server didn't seem to want to be at work that morning. Maybe he was having an off day, he was not mean or rude but didn't seem interested in being there.

We were caught up in conversation about the viewing party and gambling so I am nor sure how long it took for. The food to arive we both ordered Eggs Benedict and both of our eggs were over cooked. Everything still tasted great but I enjoy dipping my potato in runny eggs.we did not say anything to our server because, like I said the food still tasted good. This won't prevent us from coming again in the future but the soda and coffee was pretty pricey in my opinion. I will be sure to leave reviews on future visits.

I have photos to share but cannot seem...
