Sunrise Cafe — Restaurant in Washoe Valley CCD

Man. Super bummed to write this review. I’ve been coming here since the place opened. The last few years, things have gone down hill. I consistently feel like I’m annoying the waitresses. Like I’m an inconvenience. Today was really a new low though. I came in with two of my girlfriends. The first waitress asked us if we wanted drinks. We ordered a few and just opened our menus. The second waitress came over and immediately asked us if we were ready to order. No problem. We told her we needed a little bit. Not even 2 minutes later, she came back again asking us if we were ready to order. We rushed and ordered our food. Two of us finished eating and our third friend was still eating her breakfast. Mind you, two of us still had drinks to finish. The waitress put the check on the table right after giving us our food. We were there maybe an hour, still drinking our drinks. The waitress comes over and asks us if we need anything else because they need the table? I’ve never ever ever been asked to “hurry up” so they can take our table. Meanwhile, I’m almost certain no one else was being asked to hurry up so they can have their table. Place was busy but no more than usual. There was no one waiting. Just absolutely ridiculous. I’ll never go back unfortunately. Used to be such good food and service. The service totally ruined my experiences the last 3-4 times I’ve gone. Just a huge bummer. Should never feel rushed for sitting at a table for an hour. I mean, I understand if it was a few hours and we hadn’t ordered anything but dang, we hadn’t even...

Horrible service. Horrible food. Avoid this place! We arrived at 1:45 pm for lunch, with the understanding that the restaurant was open until 3:00 pm (it says so on Apple Maps). In actuality, they closed at 2:00 pm. We ordered fish and chips after being reassured that they would not look like fish sticks; our waitress said they’d be plump and big. When they arrived, they looked long and narrow—like fish sticks! We did not have any tartar sauce with our order. We asked the waitress three times for tartar sauce, and while we were waiting, our fish was getting cold. She said that the kitchen was closed, and that it was taking so long because they couldn't find a bottle of tartar sauce. Meanwhile, they are vacuuming the carpet around us and putting up chairs. My elderly friend told the waitress that the fish wasn’t cooked thoroughly and was raw in the middle. The waitress said, “It’s not my fault, I didn’t cook it.” We left the restaurant disgusted with both the food and the service and have vowed...

We’ve been there maybe 10 times now and the food has always been consistent as has the service. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but it’s definitely worth it for the food and to support local. The one thing I would change though is the decoration. There is so much potential for nice decorating. There is a huge wood bar back, with a few glasses on it but primarily seems to be used for storage. I’ve been in there and they’ve been half empty boxes worse than that though to me personally is the delicious selection of fake flowers. There’s even a cowboy boot style vase, which has Christmas decor of some sort inside of it to me fake flowers just collect dust dirt and grime. It doesn’t help when none of them match. I will also say the last time we went I used the restrooms for the first time And they could definitely do with a fresh lick of paint and new caulking around the toilet. None of this will stop me going, but my goodness I wish I could get my hands on it because I could really make...
