If you love seafood, there are few things more delicious than fresh fish. Real seafood lovers travel to Alaska, Maine, Florida, or the California coast for a fresh caught meal. For those in Reno who love halibut, a light-bodied white fish which takes on the flavor of its accompaniments, Alaska is the place to get it. In fact, people who really love halibut have been known to travel down to Homer, Alaska and buy their fish directly from the boat drop off point at the Homer Spit.

Fortunately, you don’t need to travel to Alaska to get fresh-caught halibut in Reno. You can get it right here in Reno! The Grill is considered the best restaurant in Reno because we bring in fresh-caught whole halibut from Alaska throughout the season, which runs from May until November. When we get it in, it weighs anywhere between 30 and 60 pounds! Our expert chefs portion it out and offer it pan seared, grilled, or sautéed. We offer a Chef’s special every day, where our expert chefs choose their favorite preparation and serve it to you. Even without the special, that 30 to 60-pound fish doesn’t last long and our amazing halibut goes fast.

This is because halibut fans aren’t limited to people who love seafood. Those who swear they don’t like fish find themselves ordering halibut when they see it on the menu. Unlike salmon, which has a very distinct flavor, halibut is light, flaky, and takes on the flavor of sauces and the other accompaniments on the plate. Try it with lemon, capers, and butter for a light lunch, or get our Pan Seared Halibut for dinner. This filet of halibut, featured on our Reno fine dining menu, is served with salt and pepper over poblano peppers, roasted garlic, and basic risotto. It’s topped with pesto artichoke hearts and garnished with an Aruglio tomato salad.

Halibut is filling, healthy, and absolutely delicious. So you can be health-conscious and feel like you are being a bit decadent too. Fresh halibut is a seasonal, available March through November. That means, if you want halibut so fresh you would swear you are in Alaska, you need to dine with the best restaurant in Reno to get this best-selling dish. Your taste buds will thank you for dining at The Grill. You can thank us for the unforgettable Reno fine dining experience you will have at our restaurant!

Beer has always been the liquor of choice for many Americans. However, a number of factors have caused beer to lose much of its allure and popularity recently, and its making way for craft beer and good old fashioned wine, which is slowly becoming more popular in bars and restaurants. Vino is a Reno wine bar that is apart of the best restaurant in Reno, The Grill,

Given today’s vast spectrum of alcoholic beverages and bargain pricing, the class barriers that once segregated wine and beer drinkers need no longer exist. The Pliny men, if alive today, could procure good wine for a pittance or collect at dear prices specialty craft beers.

Plutarch undoubtedly would approve of the staggering growth rate of wine consumption in the US. According to an NPR report, “What America Spends on Booze,” wine sales rose from a measly 16.2 percent of total alcohol sales in the early 1980s to 39.7 percent in 2012—just eight percent away from the leading beverage of choice, beer. Wine has also replaced liquor as the second most popular alcohol consumed at home. Wine has indeed become “common to all,” though it may be that craft breweries are dominating the conversation.

People tend to look beyond the boundaries of their home state when creating a bucket list. This is because they believe they have seen all there is to see in the area. Often, such a disposition causes locals to miss historical sites and events. At times they also dismiss new developments that draw foreigners to their hometown. Residents of Nevada, however, are not likely to fall prey to this mistake. Thanks to a travel campaign, there is an expected boost in state tourism and open opportunities for the various industries in the region.

Discover Your Nevada Campaign

In a press conference held in Carson City, Gov. Brian Sandoval proudly launched the Discover Your Nevada campaign. It was designed to encourage Nevadans to acquaint themselves with the various offerings of the state. With the extension of museum hours, locals will have more time to gain a deeper appreciation of their culture. Once tourists' stomachs start growling, travelers can get a fill and replenish their energy in locally-owned restaurants in Reno, NV. (more…)
