    I like the water bar in sparks and Gar woods is the same ownership and basically the same…read morerestaurant with a lake front location. We typically order from the bar portion of the menu at water bar/ short rib tacos, tenderloin burgers, cobb salad etc and those options are very good but we decided to try out the top end of the menu and it was pretty good but not great. Bacon wrapped Filet was under seasoned. and didn't have a great sear on it like really good steakhouses do. I felt like the sauce/gravy and mashed potatoes carried the flavor on the dish and the meat didn't have a savory flavor and you really needed the sauce because the meat alone would've been mediocre. Luckily the sauce and potatoes were tasty and the dish was overall good. Seasoning that steak top and bottom and a proper searing would take it from good to great!! 7.5/10 My wife ordered the halibut and it was pretty good but not great. A little dry , needed a little more seasoning and love to be a great dish. Risotto was just an uninteresting glob of goo with no flavor. When you pay 54$ for a fish dish , you expect it to be really good....... i'd say the halibut was 6/10 - room for improvement . Great location with lake views and the pier and marina right there. Love that they had tables on the pier, the location definitely elevates the experience !! 10/10 Mocha ice cream cake/ mud pie dessert is awesome , one of my favorites at the water bar....... Next visit to Gar Woods I will stick to burgers , salads and short rib tacos but the location makes it worth eating here no matter what you order but i feel like the 25-30$ offerings are tastier and you get more bang for your buck!!! Cheers!

    Gar Woods is in Carnelian Bay right on the water. There is indoor and outdoor seating with some…read moretables even on the water and on a pier. The setting is amazing. Our server was friendly and efficient. He has been with the company for more than ten years and his professionalism along with his personality made him top notch. I wish I could say the same about the food consistency. We both started out with their signature drink - the Wet Woody. This drink is very tasty. My husband ordered the Ahi Tuna fish of the day. It was blackened and seared rare. It was perfectly cooked and tasty. It came with wasabi mashed potatoes and an arugula salad. The potatoes were good but the salad was overdressed. I ordered the chicken Cobb salad. The salad was mixed greens along with olives, blue cheese, bacon, an egg, avocado, cucumber, tomato, and balsamic vinaigrette. Again, the salad was overdressed and the ingredients were rather scarce. The chicken was on skewers. The chicken was rubbery, dry and tough - so much so, I had to wrestle them off the skewers. I ended up taking one bite and not eating the rest. I had a strawberry milkshake to go for dessert. That was delicious. We have been coming here for years but will likely not make the drive again. Their sister restaurant, Rivas Grill, is much more consistently good. If I could, I would rate a 3.5.

Stephanie and Mark (owners) welcomed us like family, engaged us in conversation and went over and above during our visit there. We missed breakfast by 10 min and they were more than happy to fix it for us. Let me tell you, I've had chicken fried steak many places and this was superior over everyone. It's not your typical frozen, breaded, deep fried nastiness. The meat is pounded in house, breaded and cooked home style! Did I mention it's plate size!!!! Per Stephanie, they have nothing frozen except the fries and I believe it. My husband ordered the biscuits and gravy breakfast and was silent pretty much the whole time which told me he was happy with his meal vs picking it apart. The sausage they serve is fantastic, the gravy definitely homemade, biscuits were fantastic. We both loved the food, hospitality and ambience. I truly felt like I was in their home experiencing a great meal and conversation. We can't wait to try the burgers. Go hungry because you're going to be fed.

I had my heart on their famous chicken fried steak but they ran out before I arrived. I settled on their pork & beef burger, I know I rarely do burgers but I don't do breakfast menu items. Now that's the way to do burgers, a piece of ham and bacon, anything without bacon is simply pedestrian. Bacon will elevate anything to another level. It came with lettuce tomatoes, onions and pickles and a barbecue sauce. The burger comes on a brioche bread which makes for a messy meal but oh so good. I had them cook the fries extra well done and that alone is probably some of the best fries I've had in a long time! The seating area is spartan but well lit and comfortable, they just recently opened up an additional room which makes the place suitable for a larger capacity. I can't wait to come back for their famous chicken fried steak,
