Tattum's is a restaurant, gourmet market, and gourmet delicatessen in South Reno.  It's a great "Napa style" place to get upscale sandwiches, salads, soups, and take-out dinners.  The restaurant is attached to a gourmet market similar to the foods available at upscale markets such as William's Sonoma. 

We dined at Tattum's during September 2004, and found it to be a relaxing place for a leisurely lunch.  It's not the place for people in a hurry or on a budget, as our two sandwiches took about 25 minutes to arrive and were a total bill of approximately $20 with two ice teas.  The sandwiches (one chicken, one ham) were delicious and uniquely prepared with quality ingredients and breads. 

There is limited seating available, and most of the tables are "high type" tables.  The service was friendly and cordial and there were many diners relaxing and enjoying a sandwich or salad.  Tattum's also serves beer and wine and has an extensive wine market.  We recommend Tattum's for a leisurely lunch with a California feel in Reno.  It's also a great place for takeout dinners (limited selection) for those not on a budget.

Tattum's is a similar offering to two other Reno upscale restaurant / markets that we recommend:

• Napa / Sonoma Grocery - Central Reno via Virginia @ 294 East Moana 775-826-0595.

• Wine & Cheese Board - Downtown Reno "Law District" - 247 California Avenue near Virginia and also a cafe at the Nevada Museum of Art.
