We have eaten here before and wanted to come back. We both had the Filet and it was great. We started the dinner with a Jumbo shrimp cocktail and it was also very delicious. We had a bottle of Duckhorn wine to complement the dinner. Yes we will be back
First time diner, somewhat odd experience. As a preface, my dinner was for 8:15 on a Tuesday, a time kind of in the tail end of the dinner rush. Firstly, the food is absolutely delicious. It does seem that they have invested quite a bit into the product in the last few years, as the menu is quite upgraded as compared to what I see on TripAdvisor. It’s also the only place I know of in Reno doing dry aged beef, which is a huge plus. My Rossini appetizer was incredible and something I would recommend absolutely everyone trying, my asparagus bisque was a fresh and flavorful intermediate course, and my dry aged ribeye was so intense in flavor I felt I could taste it for an hour after eating it. Truly a great culinary experience. Not impressed with the service however. I will take you through my meal. First impression of the restaurant is that it’s a remodel of a former poolside cafeteria? I can’t see any other reason they would have so many tables with a window view of the swimming pool. Not only is that kind of creepy, but also just gross. Not interested in seeing body hair and cellulite to accompany my dinner, nor do I imagine those pool guests are interested in being spied on. Those curtains should be drawn. I read the menu and find it odd how much legwork the menu does in explaining things that would traditionally be the responsibility of the server. Everything from explaining what certain ingredients are to recommending temperatures for steaks. Whether this idea is meant to educate Reno diners who are not particularly fine dining oriented I am unsure, but it comes across as tacky. First time I see my server is almost 10 minutes after seating. When he quickly seems ready to excuse himself from the table again, I suggest I’m ready to order so that I don’t have to repeat this waiting period. This long initial wait probably prevented him from ever really being able to engage with me as a diner, as we never got to discuss the menu or any specials for the evening. My wine is served in a carafe with no bottle presentation performed, and the vintage, region, and varietal are not mentioned in the service. Fortunately, it’s a wine I was familiar with and I could assure it was correct on my own. My appetizer and soup are served simultaneously, and I have to choose which one to allow to get cold while I enjoy the other. I’m not sure if this is standard or just a servers way of trying to get me in and out quickly. For the remainder of the dinner everything was great. I did put in my reservation notes that it was a birthday celebration but no members of the staff acknowledged that, and I’m not particularly the type to shoehorn it into the service just to find out if they do anything for celebrations. I ordered a dessert, and just for my own curiosity I asked my server what was on the chocolate pieces around the dessert. He said I don’t know, let me check with the kitchen. They were very clearly dried cranberries, and so I suggested to him they might be dried cranberries and he said “I don’t know, maybe…”. Impressive. From subpar wine service at the beginning to subpar dessert service at the end, I just don’t think it’s right that the kitchen should be producing such great food while their team dedicated to representing it to the guest can’t answer the very simplest question about it. And in a final blow, one of the staff members uninvolved in my dinner was angrily and vulgarly swearing about something as he sped past. Don’t know about what, but regardless that is truly unprofessional to be doing in the middle of your guests. Now to be honest, it’s disappointing truly because I heard other servers at other tables giving great and detailed service. I really don’t know what to make of my experience. I will reiterate though, the food left nothing to be desired. It really was perfect. Despite all of this, I was impressed enough with the food that I would consider trying it again on another far away occasion to see if my experience changes.
I really enjoyed my experience at Bimini's. My stake was perfect along with the potatoes and Brussels sprouts. We topped off our dinner with a smoky old fashion, which they make for you at your table. Our server was named Patrick (and if you ever go request his section) his service was impeccable, he explained everything to us and he was always checking up on us to make sure our evening was a memorable one, and it was. This place is a "must try" you won't be disappointed.
Beautiful atmosphere, delicious food, and exceptional service. The tomahawk steak was DELICIOUS! Our servers Ced, Lisandra, and Franz were incredible, they really made the entire experience perfect.
Beautiful place. They made my birthday so special. The food was delicious ? ?♥️
Fantastic evening. Food and service excellent. Portions are large and beautifully presented. The servers work as a team which is really impressive and effective. Knowledge staff. Steaks are excellent. I had the prime rib and it was delicious. The drinks here are also awesome and they have some signature cocktails that they make right at your table. Highly recommend for a special evening.
Steak was not bad by any stretch...but then again it was nothing amazing.cost of entree does not include anything. So, a $68steak with $11 for asparagus, $9 for a potato, $21 for a starter... and you're $200 each for "okay" food.
Went to Bimini Steakhouse in the Peppermill Casino and it was a delicious experience worth sharing with your significant other! Cheyenne was our waitress and she has great suggestions and tips for appetizers and the main meal as well and drinks. Definitely going back and will be asking for Cheyenne and enjoying the flavors of their menu.
First of all, this might be the most expensive dinner for my wife and I in years. And its not like we don’t dine out a lot in our travels. Over $300 for the 2 of us with a moderate bottle of wine. First the pluses…the service was very good. Knowledgeable and pleasant waiter who was very attentive. And the Wagyu steak was outstanding. Perfectly seasoned and delicious. Minuses..the mushrooms with crab meat was good but nothing special. And you only get 4 little buttons. I am not a fan of big portions but this will leave you wanting. And the sea bass was under seasoned. Overall I’d try another steakhouse if we returned, but not a bad experience at all
Had the fillet Oscar style and it was AMAZING. The coconut prawns to start were excellent, the only thing was the sauce tasted like it should have been on a dessert. I love a sweet sauce on my prawns but this had no kick or tang to it at all. A sweet chili sauce would have been much better. The wine list was great and our waiter was wonderful.
