The Garden Restaurant: "Surprisingly odd location, surprisingly great food" Reno Restaurant Tip by bpwarne

This restaurant is located inside the European Fitness Center on the second floor, on Virginia Street. We were rather taken aback by it's location and pleasantly surprised by the detached atmosphere of this restaurant. Though in a health club, it is located in a very quiet corner and has a very relaxed atmosphere to it, almost a romantic setting, with lots of plants and windows fronting the main street. Many vegetarian entrees, some organic entrees, heart healthy entrees, as well as chicken, fish, and pork.Homemade soups and desserts. Beer, wine, soft drinks, juices and protein/fruit smoothies. The owner is very ammicable. We had a great dinner in this quiet restaurant and will return on our next trip to Reno. The fact that it is right next door to the Peppermill makes it a very appealing get away from the hustle of the casino, especially if you are looking for vegetarian faire.

Favorite Dish: Chicken wrap with avocado, brown rice. Carrot cake looked delicious. Salmon wrap and garden salad were also delicious.
