    Great selection of beers, with a very knowledgeable bartender. Quick service. The pizza was ok, the salad was pretty good

    Fungi Pizza and Wings.

    Truckee is crazy busy this Labor Day weekend. We have been to Old Town Tap two years ago and we have fond memories of the fungi pizza here. Two years later we are back to revisit this mushroom pizza. We also ordered the special of the day chicken wings which were so good. Old Town Tap was busy and it took a long time to get a server to come by. I finally had to inquire about who was assigned to my table and finally a wait staff came. Nevertheless the wait was worth it for that mushroom pizza! Overall I like the ambience and the staff is friendly.

    We arrived just a little past lunch time, around 2:30pm on a Wednesday. There were a few diners and someone waiting for their pizza takeout. We were seated at a booth in the middle of the spacious restaurant but decided on another for more privacy. We were given a bottle of water and glasses without prompting. Looks like they repurpose liquor bottles for this purpose and I like that very much! We decided on Fried Cheese Curds, Pork and Padron Pizza, and Los Olivos Pizza. They all came out quick. The cheese curds were delicious! Crispy outside and chewy inside, sweet and salty, and the dipping sauce was so tasty we asked for another. We enjoyed both pizzas too, with their flat dough. We were hungry so this hit the spot for us. We weren't able to finish all tho so we brought some leftovers back, which tasted fine cold for dinner! Staff were attentive and friendly. Prices seem reasonable for the unusual ingredients, quality, and portion. 4 stars.

    Our favorite place in Truckee never disappoints! Today we tried the flatbread with hummus and the heirloom tomato salad - incredible flavors and all locally sourced. And of course we couldn't resist the mushroom truffle mac & cheese. The new ownership made us feel so welcome. Thank you Aaron and team!

    The quality of the food and drink at Old Town Tap is outstanding. They make pizza that they bake in a Neapolitan style wood oven, and the quality of the operation is apparent in the product. The crust is almost cracker thin and crisp, the toppings are made from the best versions of local produce and meats. But it doesn't stop there: they have a fantastic Caesar salad (made with fresh romaine and radicchio) that is lightly dressed with a creamy dressing (that has a wonderful hint of a bite of raw garlic) and topped with a dusting of breadcrumbs and Parmesan. They serve roasted bone marrow, accompanied by a complete set of cornichons, mustard, and a caper jelly (as well as some arugula). Their Mac and cheese has a decadent béchamel sauce, and uses large shell pasta to absorb the rich cheeseiness of the dish. What's more, they offer high end soft serve ice cream with really nice toppings like cocoa nibs or hot fudge (very similar to the dessert offering at Zero Zero in SF) which is just delightful to have. They also have a majorly impressive selection of liquors (and especially mezcal). The cocktails that I've had here have been great.

    Super Fast Service and Great Pizza. Warm olive appetizers were good, but be aware ALL of the Olives still had their pits, so eating them was a bit tedious.

    Wow, wow WOW, our first bites in Truckee and it did not disappoint. We came around 3pm on a Friday afternoon. The inside is quite dimmed but good, because it was a hot summer day. The AC was sooooo appreciated. We ordered a lot! And no complaints about anything. Not one bit! -bone marrow -mushroom Mac and cheese -Brussels sprouts -Caesar salad (anchovies on top were so good) Service was great and so attentive. Street paid parking.

    Came on a Friday night, the wait times for a group of 4 was about an hour and for a table of 2 was about 30 minutes. The beers and drinks are good, the food is okay.

    mediocre by any other standards. by tahoe standards I suppose good. Pizza dough pretty cardboardy. real simple pies. the sausage and meatball were just there. the bacon egg I thought would give carbonara but was more like breakfast. I wanted to try the salmon but they were out sad. I liked the caesar but hated the chicken. was expecting a grilled chicken but received cold deli chicken cut into thick strips. server and hostess was nice and good came out in time even tho it was a packed house. I liked the soft sere but it wasn't that creamy was more iced soft serve.

    Chain control for those Tahoe bound seemed to be a hit or miss this past winter. Even though you may be traveling through on a sunny day, if it's right after a storm, chain control may not lift over the summit until late afternoon. A normal 4 hours from the Bay Area can easily become over 9 hours like it was for us. I haven't stopped at Truckee for 30 years, but it was such a nice break for a late lunch at Old Town Tap. Sausage and kale Mac n cheese and mushroom pizza being pulled from the oven I had a view of from our table were both excellent and was the warming comfort food I needed before continuing the trek.

    Caeser salad
    Austin G.

    Solid spot in Truckee! Tons of good options to choose from and solid ambiance for date night or if you want to come and check out a game! The Caeser salad was very good and all the pizzas looked very solid!

    Meatball pizza

    What a beautiful Day to sit outside and soak up the sun and delicious food. We started with Sauvigon Blanc, lucky dog and warm olives. Moved on to Daou Cab, meatball pizza and a kale/quinoa salad. Server (Sean) was AMAZING and never felt rushed. 10/10

    $33 cheese and charcuterie board. Rather sparse

She gave us her recommendations, we trusted her, and she did not steer us wrong once! We started with the bruschetta, which was unreal. Everything tasted so fresh--the combination of the veggies and fruit with the pesto and cheese was literal perfection. Such a good balance of flavors. I had the Pasta Di Olio, and I genuinely cannot say enough good things about it. The pasta tasted incredibly fresh, the flavors were perfect, and the sausage crumble took it to another level. Simple, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. My boyfriend couldn't decide what to order, so Almandine surprised him with the ravioli bolognese--and she nailed it. He loved it. Rich, flavorful, and basically comfort food at its finest. We finished with the chocolate polenta pudding, which was the perfect ending to the meal. So good. Between the food, the atmosphere, and especially Almandine's service, we had such a great experience. She was warm, knowledgeable, and made ordering so much fun. We will absolutely be back the next time we're in Truckee!

I had a bruschetta and a great Duck 2 ways dish. Great flavor on all the dishes components. Real demi with my duck always an amazing treat. A very big thank you to Peter and my server Desiree.

We started with the sage and cheddar biscuits, which were wonderful, and the glazed pork belly with chili crunch with toasted cashews - the combo of the nuts and pork was really delicious. We then had the Niman Ranch pork chop and grilled steak frites. Pork chop came with creamy polenta, mushrooms, and a blueberry glaze - I'm hungry just writing about all this. The chop was grilled to perfection - moist (no pink meat) and nicely charred for the flavor. The glaze is a hint of sweetness and the creamy polenta is a winner. The mushrooms are an excellent compliment. The grilled steak was also cooked to perfection - medium rare. The flat iron steak is such a great cut of meat. The fries in duck fat were very good. For dessert, we had a chocolate masterpiece. The meal was well priced considering the location and the time of year. And while the meal was special, it was the service that really made the experience special. While being utterly professional, the staff is also friendly and on top of it. I regret I didn't ask the hostess her name, but she was excellent - filled our water glasses without being asked once, and asked if we would like clean utensils after our appetizers. Our server was also excellent. I'd have more pictures usually, but we were so hungry after a LONG day at Sand Harbor, we forgot!

    We decided to make the trip from Reno to try Sage Leaf for brunch with two friends. First warning:…read moreparking was a little insane! I'd recommend looking into parking options ahead of time and giving yourself some extra time before your reservation. We were seated right away. Indoor seating is somewhat limited, but they have plenty of outdoor seating for nice days. The atmosphere inside was pleasant, everything was clean, and the seating was comfortable. We were greeted by a very nice woman who got our coffee orders--and this is where my biggest complaint starts. I drink my coffee black, so there's nowhere for bad coffee to hide. Unfortunately, this was some of the worst coffee I've had in a long time. It was extremely watered down and almost completely tasteless. I actually ordered whole milk just to give it some flavor, which is something I normally never do. They also don't have an espresso machine, so switching to an Americano or another espresso drink wasn't an option. For a brunch restaurant, the coffee was surprisingly disappointing. I ordered the Eggs Benedict. It was good, but nothing that would make me order it again instead of trying something different if we return. One thing I did appreciate was how easily they accommodated one of our friends who is vegetarian. There was no fuss or confusion, and they made it simple for her to find something that worked. One real standout, though, was our waitress. She was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and had a great sense of when to check on the table without constantly interrupting our conversation. She seemed to appear exactly when we needed something and otherwise let us enjoy brunch with our friends. I really appreciated her style of service. Overall, everyone at the table agreed we'd give Sage Leaf another try. It's a nice place with excellent service, and they were very accommodating, but coming all the way from Reno, it's a bit of a stretch for bad coffee and food that, at least on this visit, was just okay. If we're in the area again, we'd certainly give it another shot.

As I walked in, there was a musician setting up and the bartender greeted me. I ordered the banana bread latte iced with their house made banana bread syrup for my husband. That was my absolute favorite drink between that and the Matcha. I ordered the strawberry Matcha Americano and I think there might have been some confusion because I did order it iced but then said Americano so the bartender thought I wanted it hot. I told him not to worry about a remake and to just pour it over some ice because I don't like to waste. They say that they use a ceremonial Matcha. Being a matcha enthusiast, the color really wasn't there nor was the umami, but that's OK because what surprised me is that they actually make it in a bowl and whisk! While I wouldn't return for the Matcha, I would absolutely be back for coffee that has a house made syrup. We got it with oat milk and it was just divine. I found myself reaching for that drink more than my Matcha. Inside is very clean with plenty of seating and I love the live music aspect right when you walk in.
