    Complimentary starter

    We have been to the Ritz in Half Moon Bay and were excited to go to this location. The valet and entrance to the hotel reminded me a little of Vegas... very swanky. The Manzanita is elegant, modern and chic at the same time very comfortable, not stuffy. The dining room is an open concept and you can see the chefs and staff working in the kitchen. Our waitress was fantastic - very professional and attentive. I was a little surprised to see such a short menu of options. My glass of wine was almost $40. We ordered the Tuna Sashimi appetizer and it was brought with a crunchy seaweed roll that was difficult to break up. The tuna was good with the sauce provided. Next, we split the double pork chop. It was served family style where we had to plate it ourselves. There were four pieces and only one piece had sauce on it. The meat was tough and over cooked. What a disappointment. However, the add-on truffle mashed potatoes were delicious. Dessert was also a highlight. All in all, expensive and not that good. We won't be back.

    Great place to have a good dinner night at the resort. The staff is excellent! The food is good and they have a couple of funky things that I'm not use to, but overall it was good. It's more on the mid-pricey range. Not my favorite place at the Ritz, but still good.

    We stayed the night at the Ritz for my bday, and I had been wanting to try Manazanita out for awhile, so I was very happy we went! And it was great, amazing food and great service too! We had a nice bottle of Pinot, and a great conversation with the som. She was very informative and made some great food menu recommendations as well. We got the bread with the black garlic butter, the clam chowder (but a fancy version of clam chowder, more like a bisque), the sunchokes appetizer, the pork chop, Brussels sprouts and a yummy lemon dessert! It was all great, and we will definitely be back the next time we are up in the Tahoe area! So if you're looking for fine dining in North lake, you should definitely go here. I've tried all the nice spots in town, and this restaurant is top notch!

    Focaccia and spiced tea
    Jennifer H.

    This is a great date night or special occasion restaurant as it's upscale but with a casual mountain vibe. The service is superior and the food is seasonal and eclectic. The menu is not extensive but the food is excellent and has something for everyone to enjoy. We ordered a couple of appetizers and sides to share and each got our own entree. Everything was plated beautifully and visually appealing. They present a complimentary first round of focaccia ($2.50 per slice after that) and a complimentary spiced tea to enjoy alongside it. We were celebrating a birthday and the staff made sure to acknowledge it with a special dessert plate and candle. My favorite dish of the night was the 72 hour short rib. It was cooked perfectly, not fatty, and garnished with delicious sauces and micro greens. In addition, there was a fun dessert that looked like a campfire.

    Medium rare ?
    Hutch C.

    I know prices reflect it's on a ski slope in a ritz Carlton, but menu is limited and it's crazy expensive relative to quality of food. My tenderloin here is medium rare. That being said, I will eat here again next time we are skiing at the ritz.

    Lovely ambiance, amazing service, and delicious food. We've had the perfect time at every visit for the past few years. The cocktails are served beautifully and tasty. Cocktails and apps by the bar is ideal if you don't have a reservation. We had dinner at the bar once and it was livelier but classy. The menu changes, which is a nice touch to keep things interesting. From entering the restaurant with our coats taken, to the genuine welcome and courteous walk to the table, the sommelier recommendation of a fine wine, and the server's attentiveness, to the extravagant tasting cocktails from the bartender and the decadent dishes by the chef, including the warming farewell at the end of the night - it's always a wonderful experience at Manzanita.

    The menu looks very simple, so I wasn't super excited when booking a table, but WOW! The food is great! A simple menu with food prepared perfectly. It is a restaurant to save for special memories, such as a ski trip with friends and family.

    Waygu appetizer
    Monique O.

    The service was great! Our server was very sweet. It's beautiful inside and very clean and relaxing. I think the food is good, not really memorable, but slightly overpriced for what you get. My favorite was probably the side salad and the apple dessert. The truffle potato that was a side of the venison was also delicious!

    Brian D.

    Yep!!!!! Ding Ding Ding We have a winner!!! The short rib dinner was great! Everything was! This is one of those places where if you eat with your eyes everything I saw coming out of the kitchen I would try and surely enjoy! I posted some photos of the assortment of yummy things we indulged. I would return if in the area. The service and interior was comfy and accommodating as well. Just wonderful food!

On the beer side, I tried their Contradiction (Golden Mocha Stout), which was very good. I also had their Hazy IPA - Chance of Clouds, and that was excellent as well--actually better than I remembered. As we were leaving, they were getting ready for a Friday night trivia event and the place was starting to fill up quickly. It had a fun, lively atmosphere. Overall, I'd recommend stopping by and would definitely return.

The food…read moreis reliable across the board, which is harder than it sounds for a full-service bar and grill. The mushroom quinoa veggie burger and the half-pound cheeseburger are our go-to orders and have never let us down. The coffee roasted carrots are genuinely worth ordering. They're not what you'd expect, and they're good enough that we've ordered them the last two times. The 10 oz. bistro filet is worth trying if you're in the mood for something more substantial. Portions are solid without being excessive. The bar is a real draw. Full bar, decent wine list, and the service at the bar is attentive without being pushy. The cocktails are well made. The old fashioned in the photo says everything you need to know. What surprised us most: the to-go orders are actually good. We've been burned by to-go from places we love before, so this was a pleasant surprise. Quality holds up. They take reservations and handle groups well. Go ahead and book ahead if you're coming on a weekend. Get the carrots. Order a cocktail at the bar while you wait for your table.

    Usually our absolute fave! But quality is slipping. Not sure why... and so sad about it!…read more This place has been so special to us for years. Amazing service. Dynamite and delicious food. The best roasted carrots (usually!) But the other night we took friends there after raving. Hats off to the amazing host for seating us even though we accidentally made the wrong reservation date (their friendly service is still stellar!!) My pork chop was overcooked even after saying let the chef decide how to cook it. Dry and hard to cut. The normally amazing roasted carrots? Meh. Had a strange taste we didn't like. Maybe the coffee rub? Just seemed hard and flavorless. And my husband and son shared a ribeye that was overdone even though they asked for medium rare. Too tough on outside for sure. The mashed potatoes still rock. And they were out of TWO their signature cocktails. Poor planning? Or take it off the menu. Not sure if the chef or management has changed but I really really hope they get it back together. As I said, this place has meant a lot to us over the years. Hope it was just an off night?

Ordered a beet salad, meat lovers pizza and a flight of beer tastings (4 flavors) First off the Server was wonderful! Very warm and very friendly to talk with. She was always checking on me to make sure my water glass was full and how b my meal was. Super nice person!! The beet salad is "To Die For!" The dressing on this fabulous! So tasty it's addicting! The beets, candied walnuts and cheese mixed with the arugula was such a fantastic and delicious combo! I'd drive 4 hours just for this salad! The all meat pizza is delicious! The tangy tomato sauce is a very welcomed change of flavor when compared to other pizzas. The sour dough crust is a welcome change too! Very tasty with the tasty meat toppings! The beer flight I had was delicious! I liked the first one a lot! I'm not a very big drinker but I liked the first one. The stout is very delicious too with a fairly strong coffee flavor. All the beers were very yummy! Great ambiance to just hang out all day or night long passing the day drinking tasty beer and eating delicious food!

Maybe schedule a team meeting and hash it out there? Things don't usually improve when the employees are more self-involved than they are concerned about customers. That's not why we visit.
