Having said that, the food was delicious, one of the best steaks we’ve ever had. Beef Wellington was delicious as well. Service was excellent and our waiter was friendly, helpful, and not overbearing. We also got a free dessert for a birthday we were celebrating which was a nice surprise.

- RRobertGreater Boston •32 reviews4.0Dined on Mar 4, 2025Overall, it wasn’t as good as my first visit. The Lobster bisque isn’t really a bisque. The filet had good flavor however I ordered it Oscar style and it had ‘some’ crab on it but not a lot. Had an orange vodka and soda and it was served in a glass from the casino floor. My date had a Caesar salad that was ‘good’, a filet, and we had three sides. She also had two glasses of wine and our bill was a little over $350. Didn’t feel like the invoice matched the quality of the food this time.More infoCharlie Palmer Steak - RenoPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Reno•4.4
