    Curry chicken salad Sando

    Here for the Broken Arrow Sky race. Great place to hang out and have some good food. Thanks for friendly service from Mo on the patio

    Rocker Burger and Fries
    Megan U.

    4 stars for the service! Every time I come, they are really nice and attentive. The portions are consistent, and I like that they're open year-round. The Rocker burger is my favorite item on the menu. It probably won't be the best burger you've ever had, but it hits the spot after a day skiing or hiking and the fries are well-seasoned.

    Came for lunch on Friday, not too busy. The Rocker Burger is really a good meal, it's holding up this review. Nachos - I get it's in Palisades, but paying extra for salsa with my nachos and then it's a small condiment cup?! First and probably last time. Prices are Palisades prices. Service was slow for not being busy. We were clearly done, I still waited to see someone to flag them down to get our bill. It's a good meal, nice atmosphere and some good views. My son likes the burger so we will probably go back - I also will get the burger next time.

    Came here with a group of friends after a day on the slopes. They have a decent selection of items. Nothing here is worth raving about, neither the food nor the service. I was very upset about the beet salad we ordered (pictured) as the portions were an absolute joke for the price. It wouldn't hurt to add just a little bit more arugula or something....after letting my waitress know they removed it from my bill which gained them the extra star.

    Breakfast sandwich on sourdough instead of bagel. It was an average breakfast sandwich and potato's were a bit over seasoned for my liking.

    Bunch spot in Olympic village. My wife really enjoyed the avocado toast that came with a light salad. It seemed like one of their top brunch items and it was served on a board which was fun. The breakfast sandwich was average and the potatoes were heavily seasoned. I would not order it again. They have a good kids menu with chocolate chip pancakes at reasonable prices.

    Came here for brunch during Tahoe Live and it was a pretty decent experience. The service seems a bit off cause the two tables next to us sat down after us but still somehow got their food way before us. I was about to track down our waitress to confirm that we do in fact have food coming when it finally showed up. Maybe it's just our table that's slow even when we only have 4 people. The food however once we got it was very good. I got the biscuits and gravy and it was a good portion size with perfect blend of sweetness and salt. Aside from the service, I'd say this place is a pretty solid brunch place at Palisades Tahoe.

    Insane how something can look so tasty but taste so bland

    4 stars for the service. Came here pretty early and before the lunch rush so we had loads of seating options at our disposal. I really liked the drink i had. Forgot the name but it was one of the spirit free ones that i added vodka to. Pretty sure it had pineapple in it. To eat i had the Rocker burger with brioche bun and a side of garlic fries. It is quite incredible how something can look so good but taste so undeniably bland and tasteless. It's almost as if you had to do it on purpose. Even the fries had zero flavor to them. I still ate it because i was so hungry. Me and my partner hung out for a bug just chillin'. Overall chill experience but id skip the food next time

    We went in three different times while staying at the palisades village. Packed on Sunday and pretty empty on weekdays. We enjoyed their food. The nachos was crispy and warm. We would have loved more melted cheese and green aioli Quinoa salad was really good. The avocado was probably a day old when they cut it bc it was slightly brown. So we tossed that out. It's a warm salad. Fresh and great flavor. The burgers were good. Wanted mine medium rare but came back medium well. I didn't returned it bc I didn't want it to go to waste. My gf enjoyed her portobello mushroom burger. Good flavor. Accompanied with fries

    Rode bikes to Palisades from Tahoe City on a Tuesday. This and the Mexican restaurant were the only ones open. We decided on this place based off the menu. Two of us got the Bipimbap and one got the summer harvest bowl. We were all very happy with our choices. Our waitress was very attentive and helpful. When the weather cooperates you can't get much better with the view from the patio!

    Ahi Tuna tacos

    We had dinner here today with my family. The wait time was extremely long -- it took about 40 minutes for our food to arrive, even though we were a party of four.(2 adults and 2 kids) I ordered the Ahi tuna tacos, and about one hour after eating, I started feeling incredibly sick. I had severe diarrhea and intense stomach cramps. It was very clear that this was food poisoning. This completely ruined the evening and was honestly a terrible experience. Based on what happened, I do not recommend this place at all.

The French toast was a perfect blend of fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The bread itself was amazing. I opted in for some fresh strawberries, but you can get other fruit or a fruit syrup as well. The French toast also comes with warm maple syrup, and I can attest it was definitely warm. It made the whole eating experience feel luxurious, and I had a delightful time eating it all up. If I ever come back to Lake Tahoe for holiday, I will definitely need to swing by this place to experience this French toast again. So good!

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.
