Excellent all the way around. Walking into the front door you have a great view of the Truckee river down below winding through the Reno city center. Very cool. Walking in we were greeted by a friendly host to an urban, highly attractive place.I ordered the Halibut plate which came with a lemon butter sauce, mashed potatoes, and sauteed veggies. My companion had the special offering of halibut cheeks (yes, you read that right) over linguini. Both were very, very good.I'll definitely return, possibly for lunch, to enjoy either the cod fish and chips, or I may splurge on the halibut fish and chips. You just can't go wrong here. I cannot understand why the review average here is not at least a 4.8. This place is outstanding.

Went there a few months ago, the food was decent but a little pricey. Went there 4/20/24. My wife had The fish & chips (salmon), she said she won't order that again. I had the Shrimp Tacos, they were OK, but I have had way better. The seafood gumbo was good. Will we go back again...no. Plus they surcharge credit cards 3%.Parking: Parked on the street. There was paid parking nearby.

This is a very nice place located on the Truckee river. There is a nice patio for seating in warmer weather. The restaurant was clean. We arrived about 11:45 for lunch. Our service was very good. There were 3 of us celebrating my mom's 87th birthday. We all had the halibut fish and chips. We all enjoyed our lunch. The halibut was excellent and well prepared. My mother and my neighbor both had a margarita, I had a glass of sauvignon blanc. Our bill with a tip was $180.00 - for LUNCH!! No extras. No appetizers, salads, soups or desserts. One cocktail a piece. They have the same menu for lunch and dinner. My recommendation would be that they have a lunch menu with lunch prices or perhaps offer lunch specials. We made a good memory today: but too pricey to do again. The only reason I gave 4 out of 5 stars was because of the price for lunch.

I ordered the halibut cheeks special. I was somewhat disappointed as they tasted a bit fishy unlike halibut. The service was very good. The wait was not long even though I was in a party of 8.

Service was great, location was also great with a scenic view of the river running through downtown. I ordered the salmon and it was average, wasn’t amazing, but it wasn’t bad either.I would eat here again but try something different on the menu.

Marselo was our server. Made us laugh the entire time. Great food (Crab plate and the Cod). Coming back tomorrow. Wine selection was great and reasonably priced.

One of our "must do" restaurants when we visit Reno. Why? Keep reading.Absolutely perfect service- no really!Food is exquisite. Portions are generous and cooked to perfection!The overall dining experience is completely delightful. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and portions that you will receive. We have eaten here several times and the experience has always been great; hence this review, and our continued patronage. Many thanks to the staff and chef at Smee's for making two of our friends birthdays awesome!

Drove all the way from Truckee to have a nice seafood lunch here. No warning whatsoever on apple maps or yelp that you had changed your hours. Very poor management.
Fish and chips was excellent as well as the clam chowder, great location with nice views. Very attentive service and clean presentation. Looking forward to another visit already!

This is such a boring place to eat. The menu is very limited and it's basically a fish & chips place l, but the chips (sliced think fried potatoes) are soggy and not that appetizing.We should have known something was up when we were notified that they only accept cash and they would give you an atm fee discount off of your bill if you used the on-site ATM. The owner is that cheap? I mean, seriously! The service was the only highlight, but the two wait staff seemed as if they had something better to do, which I get, but don't work at a service-based place if you'd rather not talk or interact with people. The fish (cod) itself was flaky but, instead of two larger pieces, they brought it out as 4 smaller pieces, probably because it was cheaper for them to buy from their distributor as smaller pieces. The flavor was meh and I doubt we'll ever be back. 20% of the mussels we ordered were still closed so that was a waste. Check the plating and don't serve bad/unopened mussels to your customers. I only recommend this place if you're looking for bland food and a somewhat quiet place to eat it in. It's just another boring Reno restaurant that strives to be mediocre, at best.

I've walked by Smee's a dozen times and finally came in the other day for a quick bite to eat with my mom before a show. The restaurant is very open with lots of seating indoors and outdoors - I'm sure it's fabulous to sit out there in the summertime along the river! They also have bar seating with a few game machines as well. When we got there, there was no one else in the restaurant so we were sat right away. We chose to sit at the bar. The bartender (possibly owner/manager, unfortunately I did not get the chance to ask), was very kind and quick to serve us. He made excellent recommendations and answered any questions we had. We both ordered wine and just a small appetizer. My mom ordered the bruschetta and I ordered the steamed clams. Both of these were absolutely incredible, bursting with flavor, and I highly recommend them! After we left and got to our other venue, my mother quickly realized she had left money in the machine she was playing. When she called the restaurant, she was initially told there was no money on the machines which was very unfortunate. But, she decided to go back in after our show just to verify. It turns out the gentleman behind the bar had cashed it out and held on to it in hopes that she would be back. Very grateful for his honesty/integrity!

We started to do better dining options lately. This place was exquisite. The cocktails were very tasty and nicely presented. The food was fresh and to die for. I usually have to feed my wife crab the whole time. Lol ? cracking

Four of us came here for dinner on a Friday evening ahead of a magic show at the Pioneer Theatre.We walked up and were seated right away as the restaurant wasn't very busy. I was looking forward to eating here as I hadn't been before. There were many wonderful sounding things on the menu, but I was taken aback by some of the prices which narrowed down what I was willing to try down to only a couple of things. Two of us ended up ordering the cod fish and chips and two of us ordered the Asian style seared ahi salad. The meals came out pretty quickly and looked good on the plate. The one complaint about the fish and chips was that the serving size of the coleslaw was rather small. The seared ahi salad looked great as well. The ahi was tasty, but the salad didn't have any dressing on it. That was quickly remedied by the waitress bringing us some vinaigrette, but it would be an Asian style dressing for this dish would be a great addition.The restaurant itself was stylish and has a robot back-waiter.Everyone was friendly and overall the food was tasty. If we are looking to have an extravagant seafood meal in the future we will return.
