Smith and River

"Smith and River was a very pleasant surprise. The information I found online did not do this place justice. I took my date here and expected a very simple place with a somewhat noisy atmosphere. I was proven wrong and in the most wonderful of ways. To start: Matthew, our server, was an amazing person to have been able to interact with. He was hilarious, he was passionate, he knew what he was talking about in every conversation, and was overall a treat. Secondly, the food was amazing. Up until this night, I have never tried scallops. After inquiring about the catch of the day, I was pleasantly surprised and extremely satisfied with how delicious they were. Finally, the environment was amazing. It felt very private and personal with my date and I couldn't have enjoyed it more. Cheers to this place."

"This place is killer. The two waiters Tom and Kit were fantastic. The food was amazing. Our favorite was the wonton tuna. I wasn't expecting the style and taste. It was a wonton shell fried in a taco shape with fresh seared raw tuna covered with kimchi. It's a must get. The crab cakes were ok. They came with a Cajun Remoulade sauce that was good. But nothing like the wonton tuna. The Caesar salad had the perfect amount of dressing but the dressing was very strong on the anchovy side. Which I enjoyed but my fiance did not. I think I would have gone with the beat salad instead. I've heard great things about it. The rigatoni was good but I felt like I could have easily cooked the dish at home. Nothing extremely special. The swordfish on the other hand was very very good. I loved the array of vegetables and the truffle puree. It had a fresh lemon flavor to it that was very fresh and light but yet feeling. The winner of tonight's meal was The braised lamb shank. Pharaoh risotto was creamy and the red wine demi glaze was a delicious hit. Everyone had to have a bite. Felt like it was a must get since we're in Nevada and Nevada is known for its lamb. Overall, the experience was very nice. The manager ryan stopped by our table to ask how our experience was. Which I appreciate and recommend all restaurants to do. I will definitely recommend this place. I think it is a staple to our community. Thank you for the great experience Smith River. Till next time."

"Matt our server was great! On the spot! Made all of us feel special! Thanked us for our manners! Teen boys included! Help us celebrate our milestones as a family with an extra amazing dessert! All food and desserts were excellent! I even got a wet towel for my hands from the manager after my yummy ciopinno! We had a group of 8 and enjoyed the “chefs table”. Brought all our meals out together!"

"My family and I had a top-notch experience at Smith & River. We were able to easily make reservations a few days before via the website for a party of 4. Definitely recommend the outdoor seating area when the weather is nice since you can see the Truckee River. I started off with a Mount Rose cocktail customized with tequila instead of vodka. SO GOOD! For apps, I split a caesar salad (one of the best caesar's I have ever had for the record) and enjoyed some free brown bread which beats Cheesecake Factory's brown bread. The entree was of the star of the show - the flat iron steak with arugula + shoestring fries. The steak was perfectly cooked to a medium + and the side was so unique yet bursting with truffle flavor. The sauce on the steak tied everything together. The service was also quick and so friendly. This may be the best restaurant I have tried in Reno!!"
