Beaujolais Bistro

Came on a double date on Valentine’s day. Menu was set but had decent options. I’ve never really had French food so I don’t have a taste for it but everything was beautifully plated and service was great. I didn’t much care for some of the early courses (escargot, fois gras, caviar) but the truffle filet mignon for the main course was 🔥🔥🔥. Made the entire dinner worth it. Lots of truffle shavings and the steak was cooked perfectly. If you like French food or want a nice new culinary experience, this spot won’t disappoint. L

An absolute gem. Loved everything! This is a beautiful and very clean establishment. It feels upscale, yet also home-y and welcoming. They have a nice selection of wines by the glass. The menu rotates, here's what we had: - Marinated calvestrano olives which were served warm. They were so delicious we took an extra order to go. These might be the best olives I've ever had! - Onion soup gratin. Comfort food! Slightly sweet, very savory, and the right balance of cheese to add flavor without being too much. - Scallops with artichoke heart and beurre blanc. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. - Hanger steak with fries. The steak was beautifully cooked and sliced, the red wine sauce was rich and flavorful. I didn't love the fries but let's be honest, I did not go there for great fries. - Orange creme brulee. Wow. Wow. Wow. The crust was excellent and charred (in a good way) in a few spots. It came with very fresh berries that were surprisingly packed with flavor despite it being winter. I rated the service a 4 because our drink refills were slow despite the restaurant not being very busy that we could tell.

A fabulous restaurant for fine dining in the downtown Reno area. This place sets the standard for high end restaurants in the entire area. Quaint and dimly lit, the dining room is romantic and inviting. Although one big room, you feel tucked away at each table in your own little area. Walking in, one may feel as if they are eating at a quaint little European town restaurant. The menu has something for everyone from wild game to seafood to steaks and more. Soups and salads are creative and sizeable. They are never boring or mundane. Appetizers are also unique but let's not forget, delicious. I was with a group of seven guests and we were dining for a dinner meeting. We ordered an array of appetizers including the Brussels sprouts, duck and mushroom cigars, escargot, bacon wrapped dates and the foie gras. I thought they were all very tasty. Truly each was delicious. My only complaint would be with the foie gras. It was not seared but served cool and was not my absolute favorite but I'd have another bite again at any time. The table each had a salad. The frisée' salad came with a perfectly cooked poached egg, the Caesar salad was not on the menu but if you ask they will bring it. I had the pear and watercress salad which was surprisingly delightful. One guest had the onion soup which looked absolutely amazing with melty cheese about the entire steamy top. I ordered the venison chops with a berry reduction. The sweet and gently tart sauce paired well with the medium-rare cooked and very mild gaminess of the meat giving an excellent overall taste. The scalloped potatoes were melt-in-your-mouth delicious. I tasted some of my colleagues meals as well. The filet mignon had a little truffle added to the sauce which added well to the perfectly cooked beef. The sea bass was easy on the eyes and the mouth as well. Very tasty. I also was able to get a bite of one of my friends scallop dish. Perfectly cooked with flavor that just popped; it is one of their signature dishes. They offer an extensive wine list and a very unique menu of cocktails able to be stirred up by their mixologist. The desert menu followed suit with delectable sounding offerings but I was stuffed and had no room to order. I cannot wait to return.

Fantastic! We got the duck, filet, pork tomahawk and rack of lamb. Everything was exceptional.

As always, our dining experience was excellent.  The food, the wine, the service, and the ambiance are all top notch.  Sure, prices have gone up, as they have anywhere that serves quality cuisine, but it's worth it every time at Beaujolais.  We particularly like the Liberty Duck dishes, the fish (any of them) and the steak, and the four desserts we ordered were all better than the last. And Rosalyn, our server, was the best we've had at Beaujolais and the best we've had in a long time at any restaurant.  She is super friendly and knowledgeable and shows the perfect level of attention.  She never bothered us but also never left us looking for her.  I'm sure she had other tables, but it felt like we were her only table and she was watching us all along to make sure we never wanted for anything.

We chose Beaujolais in Reno based on its reputation for fine dining, but our experience fell far short of that standard. From the moment we were seated, service lacked attentiveness and basic hospitality. Bread was served cold, the table was never cleared of crumbs, and bread plates remained throughout the entire meal. No offer was made to box our leftovers. Our soup took over an hour to arrive and was lukewarm, accompanied by a persistent fly and multiple fruit flies. The dining room was uncomfortably warm, and an uncovered electrical outlet was visible from our table. Entrées were equally disappointing: meat ordered medium arrived with several pieces rare, and flavors across the board were muted and uninspired. After we finished eating, it was another twenty minutes before the check was brought, during which time we noticed other tables showing visible signs of frustration. While we appreciated the pleasant music and the fact that part of our meal was ultimately comped, these small gestures did not redeem what was otherwise a deeply disappointing evening. For a restaurant that markets itself as one of Reno’s premier dining experiences, the gap between expectation and reality was significant - we will not be returning.

Beaujolais has set a new bar for me in regards to dining and service that every restaurant I attend will be compared to in the future. Located on Riverside drive, the area is alive and quaint. There's a lovely view of the river, and the people walking by makes the area feel very alive. We dined outside, but the inside of Beaujolais was beautiful and home-y. The menu was diverse and was delicious. For an appetizer my partner and I shared the duck and mushroom cigars which were moist, crunchy, and served over a bed of one of the most delicious sauces I've ever had. For entrees we opted for steak fritz and rack of lamb. The fry sauce was shockingly good, and the lamb was one of the most tender pieces of meat I've eaten. We finished with creme brulee and a surprise from the serving staff, as I had noted it was my partner and I's anniversary, to which they helped us celebrate with a candle on the creme brulee and celebrations from the staff. Our server Lee was truly the best I've ever experienced in a restaurant, keeping a watchful eye over our experience and carrying himself with an air of professionalism and pride I've never had anywhere else. This was a special experience for me, I left happy and most importantly my partner left happy. Special thanks to the staff, this will be my go-to for any occasion of meaning in the future.

This is one of the nicest spots to dine at in Reno hands down! To start, the location right across the river is beautiful. The restaurant is located in an older, large home and is really appealing on the inside. Every time I’ve been here I have had the same server (I believe his name is Lee). He is super friendly and always makes coming here a pleasant experience! The food here is awesome and the chef regularly changes the options. I highly recommend this spot to anyone in Reno!

Listen, the food here is good, don't get me wrong. I found myself say "oh yea that's good" quite a bit. Well prepared and well executed- everything we tried. I had the confit and foie gras for my main dish and it was a 7/10. Deanna F had the hanger steak frites and the steak was 8/10- fries were prepared well and bernaise sauce was -pretty- good. The French onion soup we split 4 ways lol it was very good. Profiteroles 6/10 (ice cream wasn't that great and pastry was a bit too chewy), and mousse 9/10. I kept going back and forth over how many stars to give and I just had to hold back because while it was nice to have a long leisurely meal with friends, the food took too long. Like way too long for every course. They were probably busier than normal I don't know, but you're a French restaurant- if the kitchens backed up- do something about it. AmuseBouche maybe?because the appetizers took almost 25 minutes to come out. It was an hour and a half almost from when we sat down to when we got our mains. Our server was good, her support was fine but that was not acceptable service without some kind of amends. We were sat out on our own in the secondary seating room and candidly you do kind of feel a bit of an afterthought.. the decor in there is sparse and the stemware and all that feels kind of secondary, but the main room and bar were cute what we saw of it.

This review is regarding their 5 course Valentines Day Special- This restaurant has always been in close visual of my weekend walks from midtown towards the riverwalk. It is a beautiful view to and inside this wonderful establishment. The ambiance was amazing, the service was divine, and the experience was something that will be transformative every time. In this new age of fine dining; we are often posed with the quandary of price, quality of food, ambiance, and overall..."is it worth it?" Well in my humble opinion it was/is/and will continue to be worth it. If you have an anniversary, a special romantic evening with someone or simply want to take your taste buds dancing...this is the place to be. 12/10, WILL definitely be coming back.

Well, to quote one of our dinner companions, "Playing French music and serving courses slowly does not make a French Bistro". Neither do price pretensions of fine dining. With nearly all main courses in the high $40s to $65 range, separate appetizer and soup/salad courses priced to match, and our server's, "Our menu changes daily" (presumably to ensure unique quality and freshness) we had high hopes for an excellent meal and service with our visiting French friends. Mais non! Service was decent, American friendly but abysmally slow. We waited a full hour after our appetizer and salad courses for our main course, with nary a word nor glance from our server, until we finally, hungrily asked for an explanation, to be told, "Sorry, there was a kitchen drop". What, our meals? A fainting chef? A small sinkhole? No further explanation, estimate, nor even an offer of a compensatory glass of wine or amuse-bouche was provided. And that, particularly given the prices and pretensions, is simply unacceptable. But, worse was yet to come. Our main courses were seared scallops, a vegetarian, baked stuffed Phyllo dough dish and a sort of seafood stew, featuring "fresh"monkfish, along with shellfish (2 clams, 2 mussels, 2 small scallops) and potatoes in a Dijon Soubise sauce. The stuffed phyllo was quite good, with nice flavors and textures of squash, cheese and herbs. The scallops were seared properly and decent, but not beyond that. Their sauce tried, but was overly salty. Their accompanying "seasonal" vegetables were limp and indecipherable. The "changing menu" touted Monkfish stew, however, would likely have been snubbed even by our ever hungry Chocolate Lab. Its seafood was over-cooked, especially the monkfish, which somehow managed to be tasteless, rubbery and mushy at the same time. It was clearly old and had the texture of shredded cardboard and rubber bands. Perhaps to disguise all that, the sauce was harshly pungent and unbearably salty. We are talking salty as if perhaps the top fell off the shaker. Overall? Dashed expectations, and an annoying and very disappointing evening out. When asked the usual "how was everything?" We were candid, reasonable, and truthful. Apologies were made but with no real explanations. The $55 monkfish disaster was, as it should have been, removed from the bill. We declined desert as we were unwilling to wait another hour for what may well have been something we wished we had never ordered. This unfortunate experience occurred on a Friday evening. Even so, other than folks having drinks in the bar area, it was not busy and there were many empty tables. We now understand why. We have no plans to return anytime soon.

This is truly a fine dining restaurant uniquely designed in a historic brick house on the Truckee river. The ambiance is classy, spacious, warm and cozy. The staff is personable, proficient and professional. Lee was our server, always with a smile. The food is amazing, fresh, prepared and presented perfectly. The green olives appetizer was served warm with savory spices. The hanger steak, was served medium rare in a wine sauce beside frites (French fries) and bernais sauce. The halibut was flaky and moist with lemon beurre blanc sauce, ramps, morels, potatoes. The asparagus and leek soup was hearty and flavorful. The desserts were delicate and delicious. The orange crème brulee was a perfect end to the fine dinner.

When it comes to French dining, my question when I depart is whether I experienced something memorable for my pallat. And the bistro certained met that criteria. The bacon wrapped dates appetitzer was delightful. The squash curry soup with apple had the right blend of flavors. The hanger steak entry was quite good though perhaps the least remarkable part of the meal. And we enjoyed raspberry panna cotta dessert which was a fitting end to the meal. I don't drink so can't speak of the drink menu. Very professional service. Interior ambience is suitable to the setting, relaxing and intimate. Now, do keep in mind when it comes to French fine dining, the price tag for the quantity of food in exchange are as usual abysmal. Thus hardly a contested point worth deducting point for.

Got to check this restaurant out for first class food and nice ambiance. Wednesday night in November was hopping like a Saturday. We started with wine and sparkling water. Next came the delicious pumpkin seed crusted quail and exquisite watercress pear salad. Entrees chosen were steak with fries and filet mignon. Can't say enough about how perfect these dishes were. If you cook a lot, you won't be disappointed. Excellent food! One word to management- your hostess should greet EVERYONE at the door with a warm welcome. No telling where your next review is coming from. Instead, we were greeted with a "do you have reservations?" at your 5:00 pm opening. That was a turn off. Thank you for the opportunity to comment.

Fun quaint place near the river. The food was very fresh and well prepared! There are two sections of the building which would be neat for private events. Our servers were very nice and patient. We will be back for sure! If I had one critique it would be the bread to butter ratio more butter is required for our group... lmao! Thank you for a nice double date night.

It's hard to describe Beaujolais Bistro as anything but charming. We sat outside on the deck where we enjoyed a nice quiet dinner overlooking the walking path and the Truckee River. The server was friendly and attentive making the overall night and service quite pleasant. I ordered the pork chop in a Dijon Sooubise sauce that was rich and decadent. The pork chop was juicy and cooked to perfection but the sauce easily made the dish. A perfect spot for a nice quiet romantic dinner; however, it can get busy and is best to make reservations well in advance.

The ambiance was really special. We went here for a belated Valentines dinner and were happy to celebrate with this meal. The bacon wrapped dates were our favorite. The baked phyllo was rich and delicious. This was my first time having French food, and it was different than my usual pallet, but I am happy I got to experience a restaurant that cares about local and organic sourcing. The service was kind and attentive, especially for a busy service night.

We went here for a traditional dinner with friends! The service and ambiance is top tier. I love how small and personable it is. The waiters know the menu and are so helpful when deciding what to order. I think I just didn't order what I wanted and ordered something I'd hope I would enjoy. I would love to go back and try something else because I've heard nothing but amazing things about the food.

Beaujolais has become a renowned fine dining establishment in Reno. This French restaurant offers high quality food and drink. I feel like Beaujolais has lost some of its "wow" factor over the years. They expanded into the space next door so there is much more seating than there once was but I would still recommend a reservation for a weekend dining seating. The service here on my last visit was good, but not fine dining good. Maybe that's a little harsh, but at ~$50+ per person, I want a little more care and attention, not simply a staff doing their jobs. The food is high quality, and everything my party ordered was tasty. Looking back at prior Yelp photos of some of the same menu items, it looks like a little shrinkflation has taken place. Overall, I still enjoy this restaurant but if I want a fine dining/"wow, that was incredible!" experience, I'm not sure this is my first pick.

This was our first time dining at Beaujolais and it was such a wonderful experience! It is expensive but the cost guarantees you have great tasting food and a nice atmosphere. Everything tasted so fresh, the staff were fantastic, and the ambiance was perfect. We had our reservation at 5:15 for dinner which was nice because it was right before the dinner rush came through, so it was a little quieter and you could enjoy the atmosphere more. I did like the location since it is right across the river - and they do offer outdoor dining! I highly recommend the three sorbet dessert, it was amazing and the sorbet taste was out of this world. The lime had a very lime flavor but it really complimented the other flavors if you mix them together. Perfect spot for a romantic dinner!

This is a great spot for a girls night out, or a date! It is a cute location with a cozy ambience. Well worth grabbing a reservation and going to. Their cocktails as well as their dinner items were amazing.

Orders: Crab + Mango + Avo Salad | Bacon-wrapped Dates W/ Romanesco Sauce| Phyllo Risotto Entree w/ Morel Mushrooms | Caviar Blinis | Tarte Tatin | Herbaceous Grapefruity Gin Cocktail I've wanted to dine here forever & it was totally worth my wait! Ingredients were super fresh and leave you feeling so nourished, but in a fun way. It didn't occur to me to grab photos of the menu when I was there, and as the menu changes daily, many items we ordered just a few days ago are no longer there so gawd help us we're relying on memory.. Which I fail to remember the name of our server rocking the lunar phase tattoos, but we loved her!! She was really helpful, attentive and good fun. Great patio and tables out on the grass for those wanting to watch the Riverwalk happenings, and gorgeous interior spaces if you prefer to catch the atmosphere which I'll try next time. I did love our spot on the patio though :)) Beautiful space with beautiful cuisine - highly recommend!

I took my girlfriend here for a Saturday night date. We sat outside and the view was beautiful. The service was excellent even though we were outside. Our server Shane was constantly asking about our well being and checking on us. He was very patient and answered all of our questions with knowledge and professionalism. Food was amazing although it was a bit pricey. Would definitely go again.

Everything about this place is PERFECT. If I could give 10 stars, I would. We sat outside on their lawn, and the ambiance with the river across the road, street musician playing, and quiet neighborhood was so lovely. Service was impeccable, friendly, attentive without being intrusive. Food was gorgeously prepared. Each entree had no less than 5 individual elements, all perfectly seasoned and perfectly matched with each other. This is a treasure of a restaurant and will be the first rsvp we make every time we're in Reno. Menu rotates and changes but highlights were the escargot, bacon wrapped dates, and pan-seared halibut.

Super cute restaurant with big windows that face the riverwalk for optimum people watching :) We were served warm bread and butter and received our drinks after a wait (busy Friday night), my spiced "rum" mocktail was unique and refreshing. I could only eat the bacon wrapped blue cheese dates because of my shellfish allergy but they were the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The French onion soup was rich and hearty with tons of melted gruyere cheese and chunks of braised onion. The star of the meal was my perfectly cooked hanger steak and salty, crispy frites dipped in the lemony Bernaise sauce, divine! Finished the amazing meal with a decadent cookie crumble chocolate mousse (my fave dessert) and a creamy vanilla ice cream profiterole smothered in chocolate sauce. Loved every dish, my only criticism is with the slower service which is understandable considering how busy they were. Would definitely go back to try more!

My husband and I went to dinner here with some friends. Can't wait to go again. I didn't realize that this was a house that they converted into a restaurant. It was really nice inside. We were seated in the back by the window where we had a view of the street. Waitress came up and introduced herself and took our drink order. I had a French 75 and my husband, as usual had an old fashion. He was given the choice of regular or smoke. Both very good. I order escargot and sea bass and my husband ordered onion soup and beef bourguignon. So delicious. This is a pricey place but portions are good as is the food.

Gayle's Birthday Dinner - 12/15/23 5:30 PM Reservation via Open Table Since we moved to Northern Nevada about 3 years ago, our fine dining experiences were limited to Daniel's in Genoa, which is also a French restaurant. And when I say "fine dining", the final tab and the overall value proposition were both tall. And this is what I should expect for last night's "kick ass" dinner for my very special Wife. Our evening was also special as our friends Jim and Marti were able to join us. CONS - Really only 1: Acoustics. The room full of happy diners often made it difficult to have close conversations that matched the ambiance. PROS - Attractive craftsman-like restaurant "homes" on the leafy neighborhood outside and attractive and welcoming dining rooms on the inside. - Comfortable and classy table seating near the back of the room within the 2nd house. - Excellent service that hit the attentive sweet spot. - Enormous wine list and a spot on recommendation from our waitress based on what we ordered. - Fabulous (and filling food) of which we all enjoyed. Jim had the Hanger Steak and Frites, while Marti had Ahi Tuna. Gayle's choice was Scallops, while mine was a vegetarian Phyllo Risotto Dish. But first for our appetizers, Jim and I loved the deliciousness of the French Onion Soup, while Gayle chose a wonderful Crab, Pineapple and Avocado Salad, and Marti checking in with a beet, goat cheese, and arugula creation. - Adult Beverages. I was happy with my own bottle of sparking water, while Gin Martinis were on order to begin our evening. We then ordered a very nice French Burgundy for the table. There were many California wine choices, but in a French restaurant, why? REGRETS - Not going "Full French" and splurging on the generous Prix Fixe menu $100) with the suggested wine pairings ($35).

Don't get the idea, even for a minute, that because this is a French Restaurant that it is and any way a "Hoity-Toity" super fancy ordeal! Its is not. First it is nestled away in a residential area in a retrofitted older house. Second it is very comfortable and super quaint. Third you won't find any tuxedo wearing pretentious servers here. Real people working to serve real good food and deliver you a great experience. Every course was spectacular. Myself having worked in French kitchen for a good part of my career was pleasantly surprised at the quality and flavors we experienced on our visit to BB. My personal favorites were the Pumpkinseed Crusted Fried Quail. The Duck Confit and the Raspberry Panna Cotta. Again each dish was superb. The Pate was velvety and perfectly paired with some whole grain mustards. The soup was rich and satisfying. The Scallops were perfectly Cooked. And as expected the Creme Brule was as smooth as silk! Our server Lee was a true professional.

Beaujolais has a great location across from the river. I've been going past this restaurant for years and always wanted to give it a try, so I took the wife there for her birthday. Casual setting so it does feel comfortable. It does get loud, and it's easy to overhear other tables. A few tables over I heard an older gentleman being what I'd consider rude to the wait staff, but the wait staff handled it extremely well. Service was great, they seem very attentive and eager to provide a great experience. My water glass rarely was less than half full at all times. Our table had a little wobble to it, and without even saying anything to them, they took notice and fixed it promptly. Drink.. I went with the old fashioned. Excellently balanced and probably the best I've had to date. App.. Escargot. This was my first time trying Escargot, so I have nothing to compare it to at this point. We did finish them, but perhaps Escargot is not my thing. Entree... I went with the filet, which was accompanied by potato gratin and brocolinni. The filet was very tender, had a great crust, and cooked to a perfect medium rare. Although it could've used a bit more salt and pepper, in my opinion. The brocolinni was wonderful, and the potato had a good char on top, but I found some bites saltier than others, so the seasoning seemed a tad unbalanced. Overall, this was a great french cuisine experience in Reno.

Had been telling my husband about this restaurant often as we would walk by. This Friday we decided to take a chance and see if they could accommodate us as a walk in. They did. We got a lovely table outside on the patio. So glad we got to enjoy the experience and the food. Every bite and taste was delightful. It was a splurge and hope we find an opportunity to do it again.

I was able to make a reservation for 7:30 PM Friday night for 3 people approximately 3 hours ahead of time. It was easy to reserve via OpenTable. We ordered Virgin Peach Lemonade, Rosemary Gimlet, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The drinks were delicious and promptly made. The three of us split an Arugula Salad. It was disappointing to see the portion size was sparse. For entrees, we ordered the scallops, duck breast, and phyllo. While the food was delicious, we all agreed we left hungry.

The service and staff were top notch. The bread at the start is killer, had some pumpkin seed on it, might be from Beloved Breads.... Maybe? Apps and entrees were very good, just needed a wee bit of salt on the steak. Drinks were also grand! The real fireplace is just perfect. Parking is the hard part, many houses with signs for permit parking only, so be aware. The steak frites was an epic dish, perfectly cooked meat, the frites with the mayo sauce were 10/10. Beet salad 9/10, loved the micro greens. Bacon wrapped dates were good. Butter radish salt app was also very good. Crème brûlée was 1000%

Good food, poor service. Our waitress took our order and never came back once. We had to request our check from another member of the staff.

It's so nice to be able to get a taste of France right here in Reno. From the moment you walk in staff are friendly and attentive. Intimate setting with exposed brick and a nod to Parisian culture everywhere. Street parking only so plan ahead. When making a reservation request a window seat or if warm weather a table outside is perfection. The escargot was some of the best I've had yes even in France. Halibut a bit overcooked but the flavors just wow. Pork chop a bit under in the center but just succulent. Manhattan could've used some vermouth but the Beaujolais Old Fashioned (add an extra $1 to get it smoked) was divine. We'll definitely be back to indulge in this gem with so many dishes still to try.

My favorite restaurant in the area! Consistently excellent food, drinks and ambiance. I prefer dining in the main house but am grateful for the extra seating next door. This bar is serving the best drinks in town; prove me wrong! I had the gin mocktail and I could drink that all day long! We started with the terrine and the crab salad. Both were excellent. However, we then waited for at least 45 minutes to be served our main course! Our server came by twice to promise she wouldn't starve us and it was funny the first time... However, all was forgotten when the steak frites arrived! You haven't truly lived unless you've had fries dipped in béarnaise. my daughter had the filet (of course) which was superb; mom had scallops which were also delightful and dad has the fish which was perfectly cooked.

After walking by the location numerous times, I found an occasion to make a reservation. We arrived at 5:45 on a Saturday evening. The place was still pretty quiet. When our dinner was done at 7:15 the restaurant was full inside and out. Our wait staff was attentive and helpful with questions that my party of two had about the menu. Drinks, apps, entrees, and desserts came out in a timely manner. The quail was delicious, the escargots could have used a bit more salt, my phyllo was burnt to a crisp. The plate came out hot so I assume it had been sitting on a warmer. The crust was almost black and the food inside was smooshed together. Was not visually appealing and my taste buds weren't happy either. Lemon tart was tangy and refreshing. I tried the crepes, but the taste of rum was wildly overwhelming so much that I couldn't taste any other ingredient in the dish. I told the server and she offered me another dessert, but by then I was ready to be done with our dining experience. That meal for two was a little over $160. Yes, I would recommend the Bistro to those that have not been before. I would like to return to sit at the bar and enjoy a drink and an appetizer.

It really is sad for me to give this location anything but a five star review, but service seems to have declined. My husband and I go to this restaurant for every special occasion and have for years. We were recently there for our tenth wedding anniversary and the staff did nothing to recognize it, even though we had made a note on the reservation, and even though we mentioned it. Additionally, they made a mistake on our order, which is not okay if you are charging the listed prices. The food remains excellent, but I'm not sure I will continue to recommend this as my go to.

Fine dining at its best. The staff is very professional. They really knew the menu and had great recommendations. I loved the old fashioned. Not too sweet and just the right bitters. The ambiance is really like going to eat at friends house, but that friend is an amazing chef who set everything up for fine dining. The octopus is a must have. It was cooked perfectly and quite tender. The sides with the octopus were amazing. The sausage and potatoes were a surprise. The duck breast was juicy and delicious. I loved the berry sauce with it. But I do wish that the skin was crispier on the duck. Still loved the dish though. Overall this was a five star experience with delicious food and awesome service.

I've been coming here for years, to celebrate special occasions. They always do a great job, with a solid French menu, and it's easy to go on a stroll along the Truckee afterwards. In addition, they seem to have good employer retention as some of the staff have been there for years as well.

Lovely French bistro in Reno. We had a wonderful dinner here while in town last winter. The atmosphere is very cosy with a charming, unassuming sort of decor. The menu is fairly straightforward. We shared an appetizer, a couple of classic French bistro dishes - duck confit and boeuf bourguignon, and crème brûlée for dessert. I ordered a couple of celebration-appropriate cocktails and all was excellent. Definitely a nice dining experience if you find yourself in Reno.

My husband brought me here for my birthday as I had mentioned wanting to try it. There were two seating areas, main one as you enter and then another to the right. The room has a fair amount of tables and did get loud once they were filled. I did appreciate the service. Our table was very wobbly and the waitress was attentive and came right over and fixed it within minutes. We ordered escargot for appetizer, because French. I was not a fan. I ordered the salmon with asparagus and I thought it came with rice but it did not. For dessert I got the raspberry ricotta and my husband shared his caramel crepe. The food does take some time to come out, so do not come here if your hangry level is high. Overall nice experience but I wouldn't necessarily jump at going again since it does cost a pretty penny.

Beautiful restaurant with a great bistro vibe. Excellent food and drinks! Our server was super enthusiastic. Would certainly come back again when the budget allows.

The scallops were amazing. The ambiance is quiet so easy to have conversations with people. The service was excellent with very knowledgeable staff.

Stated with warm, fresh bread followed by pate and fresh crab salad. Crab salad could have been perfect with a little more acidity. Large steak cooked to perfection topped with a large portion of foie. Scallops were flavorful and also cooked to perfection. The wood burning fireplace is cozy and beautiful. We have yet to find a better restaurant in Reno! It's a hidden gem and worth the cost. Attentive servers with a true knowledge of their menu. Menu changes daily.

I really had high expectations for this place and some of them were met. The service was very good, our server was very attentive. The drinks were always full and empty plates were cleared quickly. The food was the least impressive part about this place and for the money I was somewhat disappointed. My steak was a bit under cooked not this biggest deal but I just didn't love the taste. Our alcoholic drinks were good but again not the best. The ambiance of this place was pretty and nice, it's a romantic date night spot. Again my problem with this place was the amount of money they charged didn't add up to the quality/taste in food. If I could give a half star I would.

I've been to Beaujolais more than a few times, and it never disappoints. The service is consistently on point--attentive without being overbearing, and the staff always makes you feel welcome. Their wine selection is top-notch, with an impressive assortment that can please any palate. The ambiance is romantic and intimate, perfect for a date night or a special occasion. During the summer, the patio area is absolutely beautiful--a great spot to enjoy a meal while soaking in the atmosphere. The food is simply delicious. I've never had a bad dish here. Every plate is thoughtfully prepared, with a great balance of flavors. Whether you're coming for a casual dinner or a more upscale experience, Beaujolais is a fantastic choice.

Lovely restaurant. Simple and nice ambiance. Service is also great. Very attentive and super friendly. The food was solid. They got the basics down but I wouldn't say it's excellent just yet. Still definitely better than many fancy dinning out there. The apps were delicious!

What a beautiful restaurant with an incredible view of the river. This is a great spot for a date night or to celebrate an occasion. I've never really had French food and I must say, I was impressed. I totally failed and forgot to take a picture of the menu. My husband and I had two appetizers, onion soup, crab salad (amazing!!), and for our entrees he ordered the duck and I chose the mains scallops. Everything was pretty good. Service was spectacular, they checked on us a couple of times and we did not feel rushed at all. I enjoyed my meal here. Definitely expect to spend about $200-300 for two people.

Great location, good service, nice selection. Menu was rather limited, and not as imaginative as I would expect for a 5 star establishment.

Stopped in to celebrate my mother in laws birthday ! Beaujolais is quaint and comfortable. We made a reservation for 4. We were nervous to bring my son because he was 9 months old but he did really well. The staff was very accommodating and attentive. The bacon wrapped dates are to die for! Food menu changes based on season. Highly recommend enjoying dinner here at least once. It's a great treat !

I can't say enough good things, from service to cocktails, food was fantastic. $$$$ you pay for what you get, and you do get it. And it is well worth it. Love the little touches of decor. We dined on escargot, brussels sprouts, mushroom soup, beet salad to die for. For dinner the shrimp and lamb. We love to share and had a great time. Also had smoked old fashioneds from the bar. I definitely would recommend Beaujolais Bistro to friends and family.

Wow the service was fantastic! The food was so amazing and I will be coming back this weekend. I really loved the ambiance and such an amazing wine collection!

Visiting from Hawaii we seek memorable dining experiences and I'm happy to report that this was certainly an excellent one that we will be remembering for a long time. We went at 7:30 on a Friday night and found a parking spot on a nearby street. A short walk found us at this unique spot and we were seated quickly as we had called and made a reservation. Our table gave us a view of the chefs at work as well as the bar and we enjoyed watching the staff at work. "It's like a well oiled machine," we told our attentive server Claudia. She laughed and we found out that she had been there three years and the staff knew each other quite well. Everyone made sure we were well taken care of. We started off with heavenly french onion soup and an arugula salad that was delightful. My wife had the scallops and she was amazed at the subtle flavors. "These are the best scallops ever," she exclaimed, and another staffer shared the secret of the preparation. I won't betray their secret, but suggest you find out yourself. I had the lamb shank and it was exactly what I was hoping to find-- flavorful, tender, and paired with a nice Bordeaux, delicious green beans and mashed potato that brought a smile to my face. We were too full for desert, sadly. We'll take home this wonderful experience to share with our island friends, and are looking forward to coming back someday. We wanted to whisk Claudia and her friends to Kona to start a restaurant there. One can dream! Mahalo.

This place is a hidden gem on the river. Service is top notch, atmosphere is adorable and the food is very very good. Plus it was so nice to get away from the casino restaurants. I've read some other reviews that said service is slow but it's a French restaurant and the French let you take your time and enjoy your company and your meal. It was perfect in every way and I can't wait to go back!

Had a beautiful dinner at Beaujolais Bistro and the patio is fully open. They have one of the prettiest patios in Reno with a magnificent view of the river. Service is always outstanding here and the chef selections are always inspired. Started off with one of my favorite drinks-French 75-and they make it perfectly here. For an appetizer I love the radishes with salted butter-such a simple dish but so inspired. For entrees we had the scallops with puréed parsnips and the crab salad. The scallops were prepared perfectly-these get so rubbery even if slightly overdone-and the whipped parsnips were a perfect accompaniment. The crab salad had a wonderful blending of flavors-crab, avocado and mango in a lovely vinaigrette. The crème brûlée was a perfect ending. This is such a special restaurant.
