We stopped by Zephyr Cove for breakfast and, at first, the experience was fine. They were out of…read moreblueberries and several other menu items we requested, which was disappointing, but the food itself was decent. The real problems started when it came time to pay. We were given our bill and placed our credit card down. One server took the card, processed the payment, and returned it for us to sign. A short time later, another employee approached and asked for my husband's card again, claiming the payment hadn't gone through. Later, when I checked our credit card account, the charge appeared twice. We were assured the duplicate charge would be removed, but it still hasn't been, so we'll now have to spend time contacting the restaurant to resolve it. Unfortunately, things got even worse after breakfast. After spending more than $100, we stepped outside, grabbed our sunglasses from the car, and planned to take a quick five-minute walk to look at a boat by the lake. As I was putting things away in the car, a golf cart came speeding toward me and stopped abruptly, nearly hitting me. The driver immediately began yelling that we needed to move our car because we were not restaurant customers. I explained that we had literally just finished breakfast there and had spent over $100. His response was, "We don't care, you need to get your car out of here." I told him there was no reason to drive a golf cart at me or speak to me that way. A simple, polite conversation would have been sufficient. At that point, my husband and I decided to leave. Between the duplicate charge and the aggressive, disrespectful treatment afterward, it turned what had been a decent breakfast into a terrible experience. We will not be returning and cannot recommend Zephyr Cove based on our experience.

I ordered a waffle with eggs and sausage and my husband ordered the country fried steak. I tried some of his steak and it was really good! My waffles were excellent as well and my eggs and sausage were perfectly cooked.

Also, their drink servings are really big as well and they were able to give me my iced tea to go. Definitely a place to check out the next time you're in Tahoe.

That said, the food itself was just pretty mediocre compared to the glowing reviews. I ordered the 1-Waffle Combo, which came with 2 sausages and 1 scrambled egg -- kind of an odd portion setup to me. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out either, especially for the price. I think a lot of people probably enjoy the simplicity and comforting diner-style atmosphere, which I can understand. But personally, I've had much better breakfast food elsewhere. Seeing the syrup come out in Sysco packets was also a little disappointing and made the meal feel more commercialized than homemade. Overall: cool atmosphere, friendly service, average food. Not a terrible experience, just not one that lived up to the hype for me.

It definitely has a theme with old European items on the walls and shelves. Dolls, plaques, toys, flags, etc. with some Tahoe historical items in the mix. So, there's a sense of history that feels warm and inviting. Warm wood tones. The Sunday brunch crowd was lively! The dishes similar to what you would get in a diner. Nothing too fancy. But that I believe is the charm. The staff is friendly and I'm sure they know all the regulars. It is definitely worth a visit for sure.

I tried the Three Little Piggies in a Blanket - it wasn't quite what I thought. It was 3 full sized pancakes, each wrapped around a small sausage link. I would not order it again - pancake to sausage ratio was way off in my opinion.

This place is tucked away maybe a minute from Highway 50 on Kingsbury grade. They have a plethora of breakfast and veggies options, with a good selection of bagels. They have matcha, seasonal latte options, different cream cheese flavors, and a decent selection of juice, sodas, and tea. I came in HUNGRY and tried the Goombah sando with added turkey. It was crispy, delicious, and HOT. Oh my. Basically, a glorified caprese salad on a bagel. It was oily, messy, and wonderful. I got help ordering from Shannon, and she was a great help! The seating area is a tad limited for the lunch time rush I was here for. They have a couple couches in the middle that are nice and cozy, and a mix of tables that can fit 2 up to 6 people. It seems to have a good flow, but I wonder if there's a different or better way to accommodate more people to dine in. It seemed like most to half the people that came in got their orders to go, and had there been room to accommodate them, if they would have stayed. Overall, a friendly and high energy place that makes bomb bagel sandos. I wish this was closer to my stomping grounds in Reno, so it makes a special trip worth it to the Tahoe Bagel Co!

Warmly greeted and seated promptly…read more We began with a Blackberry Smash cocktail and the Seafood Plateau. The cocktail was sweet and the glass sticky, but full of berry flavor, nonetheless. The Seafood Plateau was incredible with King Crab Legs, Jumbo Prawns, Mussels, Lobster Tail, Ahi Tuna Poke, and Salmon Poke. It was a tad spendy, but since it's shareable for 4-5, I'd say it's worth it and would definitely order again next time. We also had the Crab Cake, two sizeable patties -- a little bit more flavorful and larger than your typical Crab Cake. The Grilled Broccolini was good, but typical. Lastly, for appetizers, the Crispy Pork Belly was also a hit -- although I did not get a taste as it is smaller and not so much shareable. The pièce de résistance was the Tomahawk Steak. Cooked perfectly medium-rare and served with Chimichurri and Au Poivre sauces on the side. The steak was very flavorful without any sauce, IMO. Served with Grilled Asparagus and Lobster Mac & Cheese. Kelsey provided excellent suggestions and service throughout. The ambiance was nice -- not dressy, but not casual. Resort attire, is what they call it, I think. We will definitely be back!
