There was live music at the hotel next door (by the pool) that we were treated to. All the servers had big smiles and were very welcoming. Our server reviewed the menu and made great recommendations. He took our orders which included a kid's meal for a 2 1/2 year-old. Attention to detail matters- they brought our little guy's meal first without asking, which was much appreciated. My husband and I ordered the shrimp and grits. He added the andouille sausage to his dish. My son ordered the 14 oz NY steak and my daughter-in-law ordered the mushroom raviolis. We had the wings and the peach and goat cheese crostinis as appetizers. The wings were cooked perfectly with a generous amount of sauce. Not to worry, we had extra napkins and hand wipes to deal with the aftermath, the peach and goat cheese crostinis were very tasty. The shrimp and grits were delicious! They did have a bite to them, but it was not overwhelming. My husband did say the andouille sausage was pretty spicy, but that's the way he likes it. The 14 ounce NY steak was cooked perfectly and was literally all 14 ounces cooked. The mushroom raviolis were amazing! We had the chocolate temptation and the banana bread pudding for dessert. They even brought a little scoop of vanilla ice cream for our little guy. The chocolate temptation was not overly sweet. It was light and delicious. The banana bread pudding was thick and with the caramel sauce so tasty. Our table also ordered two drinks, a Sazerac and an espresso martini. Both were excellent. Toulouse is also open for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. Check the website for their hours. Toulouse will be our newest restaurant in our Tahoe rotation.

Everyone was very friendly and attentive always checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed without being too much. We tried the New Orleans style gumbo and really enjoyed it. Good flavor, comforting, little spicy but definitely something I would order again. For dessert we decided to go all in and try all 3 Bread Pudding, Pistachio Cheesecake and the Chocolate Temptation. They were all good, but the Chocolate Temptation was easily the star for me. If you're a chocolate person, that's the one I would recommend. Drinks were okay, nothing bad but probably the least memorable part of the experience. Overall, good food, great service and a nice place to enjoy dinner while in Tahoe. I would come back and try more of the menu in my next visit to the lake.

Review #1,006 Posted on 2.28.28…read more We stopped in here on a whim on Friday night the 27th while in town, actually originally to try another restaurant. This spot is in a strip mall on Louise Ave in Manteca. We got greeted & sat right away when we came in. The staff here doesn't stop moving, it's pretty much 3 people on the service side, they take orders, run food, & check on you. I believe the guy who checked on us a lot, I want to say his name was Lieness. Super nice guy, hard worker. The other ladies too. Food was good, for sure it's marked up, but I thought quality of the seafood, and the way it was cooked was good. I've got a high standard for the sauce, this one was for sure spicy, stayed on the seafood and corn pretty well. To me that's how you can separate these boil spots from each other. When you pull the shrimp out of the bag and de-shell it does the sauce drip right off? If it does, to me that's a sign of bad sauce, it's not getting infused on the seafood, corn, potatoes, etc. This spot it was decent, but better than most. Cheese sticks were good, sweet potato fries were too, healthy portion on that. We'll probably come and eat here again for sure down the line.

Service was extremely slow and lacking, I normally don't mind if servers just leave you to do your own thing but good service was practically non-existent here if it's anything beyond taking your order as soon as you sit down and bringing it to you after it's cooled down to nearly room temp. I did not think it was possible to make seafood boil bland but it somehow just was. No flavor at all, not even salty. Absolutely would not recommend

The service was decent as well. I just wish our server had come back to check on us a couple more times because it was a little hard to get her attention. I needed a few extra lemons, and it took a while to ask. Other than that, everything was good overall.

Added 2 garlic noodles and 2 side of rice. Overall, I got my crab fix and my wife had her shrimp fix. Our waitress Soledad was great. Very friendly and attentive.

The bag arrived much spicier than expected, and my friend was barely able to eat it. When we brought it up, our server immediately insisted it was the correct spice level rather than checking with the kitchen or trying to find a solution. She also assumed I would finish the entire bag myself, when I explained we share one, and would have to charge us extra for a new bag or small side portion for my friend but it was not our mistake. What disappointed me most was the lack of service recovery. There was no apology, no effort to investigate, and no attempt to accommodate the situation. Mistakes happen, but good customer service is about how they're handled. Unfortunately, I left feeling dismissed rather than helped.

We got the "special" buy one pound get the next pound free so we did shrimp. We got shrimp, sausage, corn, potatoes, and dungeness crab with the special blend in one bag. The hook and reel special blend was honestly pretty gross it was sweet, Smokey and not very buttery or salty at all. We asked for lemon pepper and extra butter to put inside(which was an extra charge) it made it a little better but I've definitely had better elsewhere. The garlic noodles were really good they had a soy sauce flavor, garlicky and cheesy. The price was pretty expensive considering I've spent $30 less elsewhere. Here at hook & reel I spent $96 The service was good. She was very kind and helpful but also wasn't very attentive. The restaurant and the bathrooms were very clean. Overall I wouldn't come back and I recommend going to Captain crab in Elk Grove it is so much better tasting and cheaper!!
