Sierra Street Kitchen and Cocktails — Restaurant in Reno

Not worth the price of the food or the price to park. Honestly a bit of a scam, if you ask me, but I guess Reno is the place for that. Servings were abysmal, we ordered 5 plates for two people, which were all priced like large appetizers or full meals, but were the size of small tasting appetizers.

One of the menu items was "Patatas Bravas", which was absolutely false advertising. As someone who has been to Barcelona, even the sketchy dive bars in Spain have better patatas bravas than here. Not only was it not spicy at all, it was bland. It's honestly a flat-out lie to call their potatoes this. Their mushroom/gruyere puff pastry dish was extremely dry, even the mushrooms, and entirely too flaky. The actual puff pastry technique was accurate, but was it worth what it cost? No. The burrata dish was arugula, a noticeably unripe tomato, one burrata ball that was halved in two, and a balsamic glaze, all of which could be done at home for far less. The exact kind of thing I hate about fake Italian food. We also ordered the zucchini/yellow squash dish, which was entirely bland and boring, even in presentation. The only good thing that I ate tonight was the lemon/ricotta ravioli, but there were only three raviolis served.

Frankly, I've had better food in the middle of nowhere in Nebraska than what was offered here. Considering that minimum wage is $12/hr in Reno, our bill would be equivalent to over 8 hours of work, a full work day, and neither of us were even full after eating.

The service was friendly, and I liked my cider. Perhaps the drinks are better than their food. But I would not come back, and frankly, I'm upset that I wasted my time there in order to be essentially denied a decent meal. There are much better...

Quite possibly some of the most overpriced food I’ve ever had. The concept of tapas is lovely but this place completely ruined it. The whole point should be that you get less, spend less per plate, so you can try a lot more; when most of the things are $15 or more per plate it’s highly unreasonable to realistically try that much. If it was incredible food I wouldn’t have a problem, but it’s excessively mediocre. They rely heavily on salt and richness to achieve something resembling flavor, and it does a disservice to the ingredients they are using. Also, as a bartender I found the cocktails disappointing. The Old Fashioned (Old Thyme) had no trace of thyme in it, the mule no trace of cinnamon, and it’s a disgrace to the offer a Bourbon Bramble that’s been butchered completely in execution. The only thing I enjoyed were the sliders, but that isn’t saying much because how hard is it really to mess up a slider? Also, charging $6 for a handful of fries, no matter how good, should be an imprisonable offense. I had high expectations because the group I was with had been before and raved pretty highly about it, but they were all equally dissatisfied. I feel ashamed how America so often misappropriates a beautiful thing...

This place has really gone downhill. Went here for Valentine’s Day this year since we normally like it and wanted the tapas experience but was very disappointed. Atmosphere was ok, but the restaurant was overcrowded with tables, but no one was at any of the tables. And apparently they got rid of glass drinking glasses for the plastic ones you’d find in a cafeteria.

Also made me laugh when they threatened to cancel our reservation via text and I showed up to a restaurant filled with mostly empty tables.

The food was not good. The Filet was overdone and bland (asked for medium rare, got medium well) and the lamb was also lackluster. The veggies weren’t anything special, just steamed and unseasoned.

The service was good, but for an appetizer, two entrees, and a couple drinks we were in it about $300. Which is insane considering the quality of the food.

We used to really like this place, but unfortunately that was probably our last visit. I was going to give it another try, but seeing the way in which the owner replies to critical reviews has turned me off from both this and skyline kitchen forever. So defensive and fragile, and you can tell they don’t listen...
