We stopped by this dive bar on our recent trip to Tahoe to check out a local spot. It was our first…read moretime in the area and it seemed to have great reviews so we were excited to check it out for my sister's bachelorette weekend. The bartender (I didn't catch her name, but I wish I did) was absolutely amazing. She was so friendly and kind. We showed up dressed as Pitbull and his security so we definitely stood out, but she loved it and celebrated us and my sister. She made us feel welcomed and made it as fun of an experience as possible by trying to play a Pitbull song for us, but someone else skipped it. She gave us the last of the Jell-O shots which we greatly appreciated. She also invited us to return the next day to play Bingo at 3pm, but we couldn't make it. There's a music system (like a jukebox) where you can pay for songs you'd like to listen to. We paid for some songs that were more upbeat than the music that was playing when we arrived and it didn't seem to be well received by some of the other patrons. Others have the option to skip your songs (even though you pay for them). I personally had a blast and had great interactions with others in the bar, but others in my group had experiences that made them feel unwelcome by people in the bar so I deducted a couple stars from my review since it didn't seem to be inclusive. My sister was in the bathroom and overheard others saying negative things about our group so we called it a night shortly after that happened. I wish this place was a little more inclusive, but I would return just to visit with our bartender who was so welcoming to our group.

The bar also offers gaming, if that's your thing. Our Server was Paul and he was very welcoming from the moment we got there and provided excellent service the duration of our visit. The food, also great!! My husband had the Sliders Special and I had the Ralph Wiggum. I was very greatful they were willing to switch off the Bacon for Avocado. So why 4 and not 5 stars you might ask? Well, to finish off we ordered a Banana Cheesecake to share; However, what we got were two slices. Now, if you want to give me a slice for free, I won't say "no", but we were charged $15. Why not just give me one slice and charge me $7.50? That is what I ordered, after all. We questioned the 2 slices and were told the owner had requested it be served this way. Serving 2 slices to charge double? Who does that? Ugh, I'll go for it once, but not twice. Just beware!

I think the young man who waited on us is a great representative of this establishment. We ate out front, but he invited us to have a look at the patio upstairs, which I did. Looks nice. I can't remember what she had, but we both had cocktails, and both were good. On Sunday night, I realized I had left my credit card there, and returned Monday morning, and picked it up with no problem. I would definitely eat here again, and I hope this latest rendition of this restaurant succeeds.

We used to come to The Woods at least once a month because we loved the spinach artichoke pasta…read more The first few visits were great, but over time the service took a noticeable downturn. The restaurant and bar would often be packed, yet it seemed like only a couple of employees were working, including the bartender. We'd sometimes wait 20 minutes before anyone greeted us, another 30 minutes for food, and then another long wait to check on us or bring the bill. What should have been a quick dinner often turned into a 1.5-hour visit, so eventually we stopped coming. When we heard there were new owners, we decided to give it another try and hoped things had improved. The menu has changed, but thankfully they still had the spinach artichoke pasta, so of course we ordered it along with a few new items to share. Service started off well--we were greeted quickly and got water right away--but since we weren't ready to order, it took about 15 minutes before the server returned. The food came out fairly quickly, but we were missing several things we needed, including salad dressing, sauces, and even salt and pepper. Unfortunately, the pasta noodles were quite soggy this time, which was disappointing considering it used to be our favorite dish. The nachos were okay but lacked flavor. The beer cheese was definitely the highlight and helped save the dish. It took about 20 minutes before someone checked back on us and brought the missing items, so we ended up waiting before we could really enjoy our meal. I want to be clear that our server was very kind throughout the entire visit. The issue didn't seem to be the staff themselves, but rather that they appeared to be handling too many tables without enough support. One other small thing that stood out was the atmosphere on the upstairs deck. The outdoor speakers were playing the audio from a basketball game that was on inside, but there wasn't a TV visible from where we were sitting outside. It felt a little odd listening to game commentary without being able to watch the game, and some background music would have made for a much more enjoyable experience. We really wanted this visit to change our minds, but sadly it will probably be our last meal here. We might stop by for a drink on the upstairs deck, which is still a great spot to relax, but we likely won't be back for dinner.

Were in the area…read moreto pick up some flyers for an upcoming event and to enjoy a nice lunch as long as we were here. Emerald Bay Bar & Grill was the choice because we happened to have a couple gift cards for a raffle some time ago. We parked in back and first mistakenly opened the side door to the kitchen. Once in the front, we entered a relatively small room, largely full of happy folks enjoying being inside. There's a patio here too that wasn't of much use on such a rainy day. I surveyed the room quickly, spotted a nice 2 seater by a window, and easily beat a similarly thinking couple to the punch. However, their disappointment was short-lived, as a couple prime bar seats opened up. Even in a fairly crowded room, Gayle and I found our seats to be comfortable and quiet enough to hold a conversation. We did need to scrunch in a little bit to help a couple next to us in the corner to ease in to their seats. Tarryn was our server and he was great, and with enough "care and feeding" to make this a 5-Star visit. In addition to a smooth ordering and delivery sequence, we appreciated a few menu explanations, handing the gift cards, and packing up some "leftovers" to take home. Our food choices included a Tallac Turkey Tower for Gayle (with Tots) and a Chicken Quesadilla for me. The latter was on the appetizer side of the menu, but was more than enough food for me (with sour cream, and no chips required). Both were very tasty. Our drinks were Irish Coffee for Gayle (great for a rainy day) and a draft pale ale for me. Emerald Bay Bar & Grill is a place my very Midwest parents would have liked: neighborhood bar atmosphere, with good comfort food and the possibility of sports on the telly. For us, it was a very nice lunch out. As we live in Genoa, stopping by her again would be a matter of time and circumstance, but who knows?

Safe to say, we didn't follow through with our plan and ordered what our hearts desired. This was a GREAT hearty meal after hours of hiking in the sun. The fries here are incredible!!

The atmosphere itself is on the smaller side, but it fits the cozy, hidden speakeasy vibe perfectly. ​That being said, the pricing is a bit tough to swallow. I ordered a drink for $22 that tasted good, but overall, the drinks here are just way too expensive for what you get. They also had live music playing during our visit; it was good lounge background music that added a nice vibe to the room, but it wasn't anything spectacular or something to get overly excited about. ​It's a cool spot to check out for the ambiance, but the high drink prices keep it at a flat three stars for me.
