    We love coming to Roxy’s when we’re in Reno! This time was extra special because we brought guests and got both the table-side smoked old fashions, as well as the Cafe Diablo table-side coffee - very cool experiences and soo worth it! Tony is the sommelier for both and he’s great. As always the service was awesome, we’ll be back next time!

    We went for the bottomless mimosas and a little breakfast. Food was super delicious and our server took great care of us. We went around 10 and it was quiet and chill, it got more noisy around 12, for those who hate loud settings.

    The planning and execution of their special Valentine’s Day menu was outstanding. There was a thoughtful variety of menu choices that still allowed for timely service. We were both very impressed! The red pepper and tomato bisque, salmon Wellington, and pecan upside down cake were the highlights but we enjoyed everything we ordered.
