There's lots of seating inside and outside and it did look like they are adding more to the area. I don't blame them because it is already a popular spot. They have bathrooms which for me they smelt so bad, there's a reason they tell you to close the seat covers to the toilets. Inside the main area you can order anything from beer, hard alcohol, water, food and snacks. The food was mainly burritos are wraps so nothing too crazy to fill someone up where they can't ride back down lol. The vibe here was amazing the music was all reggae so nothing but relaxing good vibes. The view above was something to experience seeing the lake from so high up while sipping beer what more can a snowboarder ask for. This is definitely a spot to stop by and just take in the views while relaxing a bit.

If you want to go to a cafe go to Tahoe house for quality coffee and food (plus organic milk!). If you want to sit down, have a great view and amazing food with an in-house sommelier on the West Shore come here. We've been going to the West Shore (restaurant) since it opened and it is great. The staff has also always been accommodating even when we have brought our kids. To the owners: highly recommend dropping the cafe in the name. I have had to tell a lot of people that you're a restaurant and not a small coffee shop. I'm sure you've lost a lot of potential customers who were looking for a local restaurant and end up at Chambers instead.

Very nice location…read more You know you're at a cool restaurant when you have people pulling up on their boat to the dock for a reservation they made for dinner. That actually doesn't sound like a bad idea the next time we come here...West Shore Cafe was pretty good. There were 5 of us so we all ordered a ton of food(see pics). Service was on point and food for the most part was good but there was one item lacking and that was the Truffle Fries. Normally one thing wouldn't bother us so much but a lot of of us are potato connoisseur and especially love Truffle. So the fact that the flavor was absent in the fries was a little of a let down. Easy fix though. I would just add more Truffle Oil or whatever Truffle ingredient you add to the fries. Aside from that, all of us had a really good time and definitely would come back.

We've been wanting to try this place out for months and we're glad we finally did! The service was…read moregreat, the food was amazing, and the live music and lively atmosphere lent to the amazing experience we had. This place is busy for a reason and the wait is worth it. We came in as Walk-ins and despite the fact that there were 17 parties on the reservation list before us, we still were able to be seated and within 25 minutes. Our server Caroline was quick to get our orders in and as first time visitors, she made excellent suggestions to make our night unforgettable. To start, we had two drinks off the menu, the Whiskey Mango Foxtrot and the Spicy Cucumber Mar-tini. Both were excellent, and the marg-tini had an especially good japalepeno kick, which is what I was looking for. We're normally old fashion kind of drinkers but the Whiskey Mango Foxtrot had excellent flavor and was well balanced, with what tasted like a Tajin mango. The real star of the show was the food though. The server wasn't joking when she said the nachos are best shared with two people, and I even opted for the guacamole. The carnitas were buttery tender and the cheese sauce tasted gourmet and incredibly flavorful. I definitely recommend these! They were probably some of the best nachos I've had, and this is coming from someone that's lived in Santa Barbara for 5 years! Next up was the burrito bowl, and the first thing that comes to mind is: generous! We're used to spending $25 an entree in the city and still leaving the restaurant hungry, but not here. The chips were fresh and crispy and truly taste hand made. The birria beef was amazing and tender and flavorful, and the pickled onions and vinegar sauce was the chefs kiss on an altogether amazing dish. We're so glad to have finally made it over here! Bottom line, this restaurant is worth checking out if you're in the area. It's packed with locals every night, but don't let the long wait times dissuade you, they under-promise and over deliver. These are the best drinks and food with Mexican flare this side of the Sierras, and will become a staple during our visits to the area. If you appreciate good food, drinks, and an amazing mountain atmosphere, you owe it to yourself to put Shadyside Lounge on your short list of places to try, I know I did and the only regret I have is not coming here sooner!

Chambers Punch... the refreshing summer sipper (and I do mean sipper) I never knew I needed!…read more I was up at the Concours de Elegance and it was a scorcher. After ogling all of the incredible wooden boats, I needed a spot to cool off, so I made my way into Chambers to see what they had on offer. Surprisingly, they had no AC in there, or at least it felt that way, but as soon as I saw the slushy machines spinning, I knew the answer to my problems was at hand. Chambers Punch is a fruity frozen concoction that has been lifting people out of the summer slump for what feels like centuries. The sweetness is tempered by the dark rum, that floats like an oil slick over the frozen tropical colored sea below, which is also spiked by the way. After only a few sips you'll forget all about the temp outside and be whisked away (mentally) to a place where you can almost feel the island or lake breeze blowing! I hadn't spent enough time on the west shore of Tahoe to have had one, but as this has become my favorite area of the lake, I see many more in my future.

This was easily one of the highlights of our trip. We sat at the restaurant bar and also grabbed…read moredrinks from the dock bar, and both were great experiences. The frozen Chambers Punch topped with dark rum was honestly the best frozen cocktail I've ever had. It was incredibly refreshing on a hot summer day, especially by the water. For food, we ordered the deep fried zucchini sticks, the beet and goat cheese salad, and the crispy fish sandwich. Everything was excellent. The zucchini sticks were perfectly cut, crispy, and delicious. The beet and goat cheese salad was fresh and refreshing with a great mix of flavors and dressing. The crispy fish sandwich was perfectly cooked and another great choice for a summer day. If you can, grab a seat at the restaurant bar. It has one of the best views in the whole place. The wait can be long, but it is worth it. If you don't want to wait, they also offer takeout, and there is beach access nearby, making it easy to enjoy your meal by the water. The bartenders were fantastic. They were friendly, knowledgeable about the area, attentive, and genuinely fun to talk with. Between the food, drinks, views, and service, Chambers is an easy 5-star spot. We'll definitely be back.

Another bike ride, another stop at Sunnyside. Unfortunately, they no longer serve the ribs... booo!…read more We both ordered the Seafood Chowder and split a slice of Hula Pie. The chowder arrived on the cool side, but the staff was very prompt about taking care of it, heating it up, and getting it back to us. There was plenty of seafood in every bite, which was great, but it needed some salt and pepper. I also think some bacon would have added another layer of flavor. I wasn't a fan of the focaccia bread that came with the chowder. It was more like eating a giant crouton. I think oyster crackers or a nice piece of soft, warm bread would have been a much better. The Hula Pie was huge and delicious. Definitely big enough to share! Despite a few misses, we enjoyed our visit. The next time we're biking in the area, we'll probably stop in again.

Very dry and dense fish. Ugh. The sauce and stuff was so much needed. Service was good though. We were seated promptly and our order was taken and food arrived timely. Would come back for the views and drinks.
