Machi's Saloon & Grill

I had the best meal in Elko during my week stay at Machi's Saloon on a lamb shanks night. Great atmosphere, and a local hangout. Was recommended by a friend who used to come here 20yrs ago and is a friend of owner John Lemich who serves at the bar.

Went to Machi's for our anniversary lunch. Very good service and quick seating. My wife had Chimmilatas, and I had the fish sandwich. Both were GREAT!!! Love the sides as they are always different from the norm. Quick service and the desserts were incredible. Prices very reasonable for the quantity and quality.

Stopped in one evening for dinner. Nice bar and restaurant with character. I sat at the bar because it was only me. I had a cold Anchor Steam in the bottle. Dinner was the Mussels and linguine with chorizo which was spicy and superb. A hearty bowl with lots of mussels. It came with a simple salad and dinner roll. For dessert I had the carrot cake. It was served warm and was excellent. It is definitely a little different than what you normally expect with carrot cake. Overall a bit pricey given the bill
of $48 with tip.

Wait staff was great. Food was awesome. (And plenty of it.) Price was good. (Ordered an Appetizer, and an entree that came with fresh bread, and a salad and dessert.) The Carrot Cake dessert is unfreakin believable. (I'd like to eat an entire bathtub full of the Cream cheese, vanilla bean whip cream on top.) Environment is good...a little loud, but it's expected when the place is packed. (Deservedly so.) If I was local I'd be broke cause every penny I had would be spent here.
