The taste was refreshing and the grilled dishes were cook to perfection. Nice friendly atmosphere as well. The open kitchen is an interesting experience. It was a busy and organized kitchen. We were a bit surprised to see the cooks didn't wear hairnets and gloves through. Especially the appetizer station, the cook made a raw fish dish and then mixed salad with bear hands. Considering this restaurant's high end status in town, such details seemed to be lacking. That to say, no health concerns. All cooks were efficient and the made-in-house dessert was a great finish!

The best sandwich in my opinion is the club sandwich! They don't skip on the meat, which is appreciated!

The place itself is quite small with limited parking, but everyone is nice and kind and they have little buzzers to notify you when your table is ready :) I got the French toast with strawberries and oh my goodness it was DELICIOUS. The French toast was a perfect blend of fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The bread itself was amazing. I opted in for some fresh strawberries, but you can get other fruit or a fruit syrup as well. The French toast also comes with warm maple syrup, and I can attest it was definitely warm. It made the whole eating experience feel luxurious, and I had a delightful time eating it all up. If I ever come back to Lake Tahoe for holiday, I will definitely need to swing by this place to experience this French toast again. So good!

There was a small problem with my entree, and he took care of it right away, and then reduced the price by 50%. Our friends really enjoyed the lobster Mac n cheese, pork schnitzel, and smash burger.

Fancy without being pretentious, with impeccable service and truly great cocktails to set the tone. The Asian sampler appetizer is unforgettable and a must-order.

No social media hype, no advertising; they don't need it. After nearly five decades, they know exactly what they're doing. Five stars, no question.

We started with the lobster small dish as an appetizer and our 7 year old devoured most of it. It was so delicious. They were incredibly accommodating for my gluten-free and dairy-free needs. I was impressed with how they had special menus for each of my diet restrictions - the items to avoid were crossed off (see pic) which made it super easy to follow. My black cod was AMAZING, cooked perfectly, just the right amount of complimenting flavors and ingredients, in addition to great broccoli. Lastly, the fact they had even one gluten-free/dairy-free dessert option was mind blowing. I was so pumped. It was a smooth and super flavorful coconut passion fruit house made sorbet. I was in heaven. This isn't your typical dining establishment and their food definitely showcases that. And the views do too, holy smokes. Talk about a wag to enjoy the beauty of Lake Tahoe! Absolutely gorgeous. We're so thankful we got to spend an evening here, in our most favorite vacation spot. Way to go owners, staff and chefs!

Our server, who was from Brazil, was so bubbly, friendly and made the experience more fun. She seemed to be taking care of almost the entire place and still made everyone feel seen. We ordered the lobster roll and the duck bánh mì, and both were good. My only note is that the lobster roll seemed to be mostly shrimp, so at $33 it felt a little overpriced. You are really paying for the view! One of our orders did take a while to come out, but our server was super apologetic and comped the dish, which we really appreciated. Overall, good food, warm service, and an unbeatable view.

Greeted and ordered quickly. 3/5 Cal Neva burger medium with garlic Parmesan fries. The burger was okay but nothing stood out. I usually get sourdough bread instead of a bun but forgot so that could be why. The fries were delicious and felt homemade with a lot of flavor. Ranch was a bit runny, so not my fav. 5/5 Fat Cat Mac with mushrooms and gorgonzola was so rich and creamy. The flavors were amazing. The serving size was small but it was reasonably priced. 5/5 hot tea - so random but I had a hibiscus hot tea with honey and holy moly that was delicious. I'd go back for the Mac for sure, but I'd need to try a different burger the as the one I got didn't leave av huge impression on me.

The plus- the people who answered the phone were nice.

The lot was full, but we did take the last spot. The service was good and our food came out pretty quickly as the restaurant was packed, yet there was no one waiting. We ordered the fish and chips which were good. The fries were a bit cold, but the fish was hot and crispy. We also got the elk burger and it was good, but didn't notice a huge difference in the taste. The bbq sauce had a berry flavor and it was good, but not sure if I would enjoy it on the burger. The ambiance was chill and it cleared out pretty good by the time we finished. So if you're headed off the slopes or heading home for the day 3:00 is a good time to stop by with no wait time and good parking.

The service was quick and friendly but unfortunately the food was lacking in flavor. Our burger was well done and dry even though we ordered it medium.

The beer battered fish in the tacos was hard to find. *I'd come back purely for the outdoor ambiance and the beautiful patio setting near the river. Maybe just drinks and apps next time?!
