WINE & DINE A Business Tradition The Reno Tahoe USA dining scene has absolutely exploded with a number of fresh, unique, local, nationallyrecognized, award-winning restaurants and bars. Budding dining hot spots like California Avenue, Midtown, the Riverwalk District and the Freight House District, together with the resort casinos, satisfy planners and event attendees alike with both the quality and the quantity of dining choices.

Five-star steakhouses, quaint bistros, upscale sushi bars, hip brewpubs, and swanky wine and martini bars set the stage for the all-important wining, dining and schmoozing of the business world. Or, the equally-important unwinding after a busy day at the convention or meeting.
