Escape Lounge at RNO
I didn't know this existed; I only happened to see it as I was walking to the gate. Plat card got me in. Limited food selection, and well drinks were free but top shelf are for purchase. Still, free coffee/OJ/danish and more comfortable chairs were a nicer thing that sitting at the gate for an hour.

This opened back in 2017.
The Escape Lounges are fairly underrated in my book. I am local to the NYC tri-state area and the Escape at BDL is a really welcome spot. Escape lounges were also recently rebranded as Centurion Studio partners, which appears to be a name-only jazzing up for now, but I think ties them to amex standards and expectations.

I recently relocated and Reno is my new home airport. For those of you who have been to the Escape lounge there - how are the food selections? Is there generally enough there to suffice for lunch/breakfast?

Have you been to other Escape Lounges? It's pretty similar (though small.) Better than sitting at the gate for 3+ hours, but not amazing.

I'm based in RNO/SFO, and visit the RNO Escape lounge regularly enough to be on a first name basis with staff. The RNO lounge is far better than the OAK lounge, despite having the same manager. If you go into it looking for a Centurion experience, you will be disappointed. The food is appetizers vs entrees, and the bar is more fun. While I think that there are many more fun ways to spend three hours in Reno than at the airport (hiking, museums, golf or gambling?) tbh the Escape Lounge has one of the more fun bars around.
