    A very fancy place with a good vibe. A quiet place with excellent food. We ordered a Filet Mignon, Chicken, and some salad. We ordered some bread and I have got to say it was the best I have ever had. They gave us complimentary Soufflé Potatoes and they tasted amazing. The waiter was very nice and she was awesome. Would come back again.

    Lobster bisque

    Hands down the BEST date night spot. We did the tasting menu and every course was incredible. The lobster bisque deserves its own mention -- incredibly rich and loaded with lobster. From the escargot to the lamb chops and the dessert tasting, everything was flawless. An unforgettable evening and the perfect place for a special night out. We will be back!!

    Lamb chops

    I have tried all the local restaurants since i moved to Incline and I think this is the best one. I am shocked they have not been busier the 3 times I have eaten here. They are hard to find as they are facing the back of the little strip mall and you cant see them from the street or the parking lot. This restaurant is definitely worth the hunt. Prices are fair for the quality of food. I really enjoyed the 4 course meal. My friend also had the 4 course meal with no overlap in choices so were able to taste 8 different dishes and they were all fantastic.

    Intimate ambience, excellent food and service. This turned out to be our best meal of the trip. The place appeared to have a lot of regulars. When we were dining, we noticed the manager greeted many of the customers by name and talked as if they knew each other for years. In fact later in the evening, he even poured himself a glass of wine and sat at one of the tables to chat. Love those kind of places. The decor is simple elegance and the food teeters between rustic and fine dining French. We arrived promptly for our 7pm reservations and was seated right away. As luck would have it, we got a great table ...a cozy corner booth that afforded a view of the entire room. The menu gave us the option of doing a 5 course prefix meal ($70) and/or ala carte. We chose to do 1 prefix and 1 ala carte. Overall, the entire meal was excellent. The special appetizer of the day, Lobster Mushroom Scallop Ravioli and the Veal Chop with a veal stock cream sauce really stood out. The ravioli took a little long to arrive but we weren't in a hurry. Excellent service. Efficient and unobtrusive. The captain waiter and back waiter worked well as a team while the manager helped to pick up any slack. Small operation but well executed. We will definitely return on our next trip. Happy Eating!!

    Had a great birthday experience and the staff was so sweet to make a custom dessert plate! Service was outstanding, but the food didn't match the level of service we received. Highly disappointed in the quality and freshness of the food served. Lobster Bisque en Croute - although it looks so scrumptious, it tasted like a chowder, not a bisque. Way too much cream, and the only lobster flavor coming through was in the chunks of lobster on the bottom of the soup. Cesar Salad - never had a ceased salad that was presented with a piece of anchovy on top. Presentation was unappetizing. Tuna Hamachi - although the presentation was nice, the taste was horrible. The fish tasted so old and chewy, I was very disappointed. The hamachi and tuna was not fresh and had such a fishy aftertaste that I couldn't finish the dish. Lobster Ravioli - Pasta tasted old and chewy, and so did the sauce. Very rich, but not in a good way. Tasted like old, reheated ravioli. The dessert plate was the best part of the meal. The crème brûlée was to die for, but I am not sure if that was house made. If so, then I'm hooked! Not generally a fan of this dessert but the caramelized top layer was sooo good, and the crème filling was the perfect texture. So creamy without tasting like a pudding. The chocolate cake piece was also delicious with raspberry sauce. Yum!

    We always look forward to coming back every year to this cute little Bistro! Their food is cooked to perfection, and their service is amazing! I almost couldn't get a table for NYE, but David made it happen! Tonight, we had the perfect meal to end 2024. See you again in 2025!! Please continue to be amazing!!

    My family took a trip to Lake Tahoe for Thanksgiving and I made reservations for thanksgiving dinner at Le Bistro. I really wanted to love the restaurant but it was a disappointing experience. The food took forever to be served. And it was bad from the start. My daughter's bow pasta was uncooked in the middle and we had to send it back to get it cooked again. I ordered the escargot and it tasted bland, the last one even had sand in it. The Lobster and scallop ravioli had lobster shell in it. My mother ordered the special Grilled Salmon, and it was still raw inside. My filet mignon was probably the most delicious dish. But the pork just tasted weird. For the price I expected much better quality and attention to detail of the food.

    This is a cute little restaurant near the lake nestled away in the trees. They have a vast wine list but also do cocktails. You can order food a la carte or do their several course meal. I did the four course meal which included an appetizer, salad, entree, and dessert. For the appetizer I got the crab cakes. They were a little tiny and overly fried. Their sale was a little bigger and filling. For the entre I got the filet minion. Now that meat was butter, obviously order it medium rare! The mash potatoes were a little hard for my taste but still delicious. For the dessert, they give you a plate of four mini treats to eat. The crème brûlée was the star out of the minis. The service was attentive but felt rushed. Go for their wine selection and that filet minion!

    Great meal at Le Bistro the other night! My favorite was the gnocchi with morel and truffle cream sauce. Service was good and the atmosphere was quiet; perfect for a romantic date night. I'd say the prix fixe menu was a good value for the quality of the food, but wine prices were quite high.

    Le Bistró is good, but fell a bit short on my expectations. First, let me say that the staff was very nice and I think they were working really hard, so the issue is mainly with the food and atmosphere. We came here for my birthday and it was busy Saturday. We had reservations and were seated in a nice corner booth. From there we could see the happenings in the restaurant and it made for some excellent people watching. We had the 5 Course a la carte menu. For the appetizer I had the smoked salmon. While the presentation was artful, it didn't stand out as something that was much different from smoked salmon I've had elsewhere. Next it was onto the soup- and it was a no brainer. I HAD TO TRY THE LOBSTER BISQUE WITH PUFF PASTRY. YES!!! This was delicious and the dish dazzled and was definitely worthy of 5 stars! For the entree I had the scallops. They were huge, buttery scallops, but the taste was overpowered with...tarragon(?) I'm not sure what spice was trying to upstage the scallop, but it would have been better served as a sauce on the side. Last the dessert trio was a let down. The mini Creme Brûlée had a very bitter caramelization and the raspberry tart and chocolate bon bon were blah. I left those alone. Dessert is something I really enjoy, so if I'm leaving any on the plate, it's an indication that something is amiss and in this case, the desserts lacked flavor. Last, the atmosphere is a bit stale. I think it needs a little revamp. I like that it's quaint and tucked out of the way. It has a charm to it, but needs some updating. Overall I think Le Bistro tries in an earnest way to be great, but is overextended. As I mentioned, the waitstaff was very kind and was definitely working hard to support one another, but maybe some editing of the menu may help and some reworking of the decor would help to bring it into the 2020's. The outstanding Puff Pasty Lobster Bisque was tempered by the lackluster appetizer and abysmal dessert plate. I don't regret coming here, but the extravagant price point should not leave me feeling mixed emotions.

    Fantastic dinner at sage leaf. I have been going here for years, and decided to take my girlfriend…read moreout for her birthday. Cocktails were delicious, our favorite food items were the pork belly, which was complimented nicely with purple slaw, the chicken thighs, with a sauce and balsamic glaze you could put on anything, and the braised short rib, that could've been more fall apart, but still fantastic flavor and the potato puree was the perfect side. I also wanted to give a special shoutout to our waiter, Andres, who made this night extra special. Not only was it my girlfriend's birthday, but this was the night I asked her to officially be my girlfriend (she said yes!) with the help of Andres and the rest of the staff, it was the perfect evening and I can't thank them enough.

I got there about 1pm which is cutting it close as it closes at 2 for dinner switchover at 5. but they were still bustling and tables were 3/4 full. Parking was easy although the lot is shared by many stores so i have seen it full at other times. They have indoor seating but the covered patio was beautiful today. I got the burger and instead of fries i took a chance and got the roasted tomato and red pepper soup. Yes i know soup is an odd pairing with a burger but i really wanted to try it. And so glad i did! It was fantastic. Great depth of flavor. The burger was grilled to a medium temp which i prefer, and i didn't even have to specify that. Great flavor in the patty and the fried egg in top added to it once the yolk was broken and oozed down the side. I asked for ketchup on the side because it comes with an aioli on the bun but i really didn't need it. The aioli was delicious. Service was spot on with good recommendations. Only nitpik was that $5 for a can of coke that is not refillable is a bit expensive when i can get coke for a buck all day elsewhere.

    We were heading into Carson City and looked on Yelp for a place to have breakfast. Boy, are we…read moreglad we found the Villa Basque Cafe! Here is what we noticed: - It's a pretty unassuming place...we parked in the side lot and walked around to their main entrance. They even had some specials highlighted as we entered. - Inside there is lots of seating...when we arrived the front of the place was empty, but people were sitting there when we left and we noticed that it is much quieter in that section of the restaurant than in the main dining room. - As others have noted, chorizo is their specialty and it's in many of the dishes. And, it is worth it!...and, not spicy like you might think of chorizo. My wife and I ordered the Quesadilla and the Basque Omelette, and we split both (plus, we took some home too). Each dish was really good in its own right, and being able to have the chorizo prepared two ways was great. Their home fries were really tasty too. - Service was good....very attentive, especially considering that it took us a while to decide what to order given the breadth of the menu. - We paid cash because of their sign indicating that that was preferred. Bottom line: We'd go back to Villa Basque Cafe anytime we're in Carson City...next time, we'd like to try some of their lunch options!

    I was near this area and instantly thought of lamb anything. I settled on lamb stew…read more The lamb stew came with some garlic bread. it had some carrots and potatoes in the stew. The lamb meat came from the leg or brisket area, it was fantastic. I thiI like this more than just ordering roast lamb. This will definitely be the go to order instead of ordering roast lamb, but I do need to order it to compare at another date.

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!

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.
