Washoe Public House

Washoe Public House serves downtown Reno from Hill Street, with a kitchen organized around scratch preparation and seasonal food. Current local reporting identifies Brent Ross as the owner, and the business record names him as president of High Desert Restaurants.

A restaurant that also comes to the gathering

Alongside ordinary dining, Washoe offers a private room, event arrangements and off-site catering. Its published catering selections show the range of the kitchen beyond a single lunch or dinner menu, from passed appetizers to boxed lunches and larger shared meals.

Appetizer options include tempura tiger prawns, smoked-gouda arancini, mushroom tartlets and Caprese skewers. Beet poke provides a vegetable-centered alternative. These appear in the event offerings, where customers work with the restaurant on a menu for the particular gathering.

Different formats for different occasions

• Boxed lunches combine sandwiches, sides and a cookie.
• Family-style selections include pork loin, chicken, duck and salmon.
• Green curry lentils offer another direction for a group meal.
• Dessert choices include Basque-style cheesecake and lemon cake.

That variety gives the business a role in celebrations and work gatherings as well as everyday restaurant visits. Event inquiries go directly to management, allowing the team to discuss the format and current availability rather than treat every occasion as the same order.

For regular dining, Washoe publishes its current food menu, reservation options and online ordering through its own website. The restaurant describes its setting as casual and its cooking as locally focused. Its downtown address and combination of dining-room and catering services make it a small restaurant with several ways to serve Reno customers.
