If I recall, parking is free after 6pm, which is when we went. Fast and friendly service! All their food items are meant to be shared. We got 4 items split between 4 adults and it was enough. Not stuffed by any means, but definitely weren't hungry after. Curds, brusselsprouts, sausage and kale mac, and meatball pizza. Other than the brusselsprouts, which were too large so that the middle of them had no flavor, the rest was bomb. Loved the other dishes so much!

Old Town Tap used to be one of my favorite places to stop whenever I was in Truckee, but the last…read moretwo visits have been a disappointment. The quality of the food, and the care that used to go into preparing and presenting it, has completely fallen off a cliff. During my most recent visit this week I noticed that much of the kitchen staff seemed to be different from the team I've seen over the past few years. The pizza was genuinely disappointing. The crust lacked flavor, the toppings were sparse and it felt like something that had been rushed out of the kitchen with little attention to detail. Even the presentation was careless, which was surprising because this restaurant used to take pride in what they served. It's frustrating to see a place that I used to recommend decline this much. I really hope the upper management takes a look at what's happening to the restaurant because the Old Town Tap I used to enjoy no longer seems to exist.

I was able to skip the long food line to just order beers a couple times. Casual atmosphere with lots of communal tables and some TVs. I tried their lager, which I enjoyed.

Chef Marshall Smith. 4.3 rating on Google and Yelp. The restaurant is located in the hotel complex in a modern wood building with an attached fully enclosed and heated exterior patio. It not a large restaurant and not overly filled on a Friday night. Food was better than we expected. Both entree hit the mark. Service was solid. They provided good help with ordering and all our needs. Food Review: HAUS FOCACCIA -- ($10) 3 pieces, made in haus fresh every day was a little more brittle than we liked but solid flavors and texture. High quality olive oil and vinegar in a cool container. 9/10 HEARTH ROASTED BEETS ($19) burrata, pistachio, blood orange, raspberry vinaigrette, mint was a beautifully plated salad. Nice fresh balanced beets, cheese and fruit. 9/10 ORA KING SALMON ($52) lemon dill beurre blanc, quinoa roasted vegetable medley was a huge portion of beautiful salmon. It was cooked perfectly and accompanied with a nice quinoa bed. 10/10 PAN SEARED SCALLOPS ($48) orange marmalade, roasted mushrooms, arugula, pistachio crumble had 3 large scallops cooked perfectly with a nice fruity and nutty accent. The small middle salad was also well done. Great for those who don't need huge portions. 10/10 Overall - Very Good Food - Excellent Decor - Very Good Service - Very Good Value - Good Would we come back - Yes

It gets crowded at the dinner hour so reservations are recommended, but we lucked out and got a table in the speak-easy style bar. Since I was driving I had an N/A sparkling but the craft cocktails looked amazing. Everything my friend and I tried and shared was perfectly constructed and portioned. We tried the Zucchini blossoms (lightly crispy batter fried) deliciousness, the burrata salad (that had just enough burrata to taste, and none to waste). After seeing someone else get pizza on the way in we had to try it, and opted for the mushroom and asparagus pizza. It was worth the calories, but also light and crispy, and just right for two ladies to share with a few appetizers.

Delicious food and warm and friendly people!…read more Had dinner here tonight. 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! Please see the pictures below and let your eyes do the feasting!!

GREAT: wings, fries, beet salad NOT GREAT: Fish and chips (they're fish sticks) chicken parm sandwich (they're chicken tenders), pizza (sure is a pretty pizza oven though) Also, the dining room is small, and too often the setting for employee drama played out in full view of customers. 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.

Our server was very sweet! On to the food - absolutely excellent! There were five of us and every single dish was incredible. The chicken milanese was perfectly crisp yet juicy inside with a mountain of arugula, cherry tomatoes, and parmesan. We all loved it. Chicken parm was again very moist and swimming in amazing red sauce and melted cheese. Also tried the rigatoni - NOT to be missed - and the pesto pasta. Spaghetti with meatballs was apparently also incredible because our boys didn't leave an ounce behind. Absolutely worth visiting - would try again!

One look and we were sold. My daughters and I started with the deviled eggs, which set the tone immediately. Then we split the ravioli and the rainbow trout -- both impeccably prepared, not a weak link between them. The kind of meal where you keep looking at each other between bites because you're all a little surprised at how good it is. Finished it off with the crème brûlée and had zero complaints. I'll put it this way: I'm from New Orleans. We take food seriously. Tangerine Bistro more than held its own, and that's not something I say lightly. If you're passing through Truckee and need a dinner spot, stop here. You won't regret it.

My family came here for tasting experience which included some of the most beautifully prepared…read moredishes I've had in a long time. Included in the offerings was the foie de poulet. The chef used a small ramekin for serving and added a thin layer of strawberry jam (obviously NOT commercial) to cut the intense flavor of the poultry. What a brilliant combination-pretty, too! The other standout was the raviolis du dauphine. I normally steer clear of truffles (unless I know the establishment) because of the overuse of truffle oil which I find cloying. Not here. This was the real thing AND it was done with restraint. We all loved it. Maybe my favorite of all was the way the chicken breast ( poulet roti) was prepared. I'm sure it didn't hurt to begin with a well sourced bird, but it was moist, tender and flavorful. Simple is sometimes best, especially when it follows more complex dishes. The waitstaff couldn't have been nicer and more professional. They were obviously proud of the food and happily shared with us some backstories of the local farms and animal producers they use. Tabitha worked our tables and was helped by another lovely young woman whose name I didn't get. Both represented the restaurant well. It was an unforgettable evening.

Sysco/Aramark must be the supplier now, because the quality was not the Truckee Tavern we remember from years back. Their food used to be high end (and worth it) but now ingredients and kitchen are producing Applebees level dishes for high prices. If costs are the issue, serve better ingredients cooked with love and expertise, in smaller portions. Also, dear manager - on a night where seating is 50% cap or less, no one should ever have to wait at the host stand for 10 minutes to be seated.
