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.

Came here one night when we were in Tahoe, and had a great meal. This place is a solid 4.5 star,…read moresince Yelp doesn't do half stars, I'm rounding it up to 5 stars. Service was great, nice clean interior. Food was very good. Here're are what we ordered: Deviled eggs with caviar: 4/5 pretty good, just a bit too salty. Onion soup: 5/5, I'd say this is the best onion soup I've had in the US. Beef tartare: 5/5 the marinade was citrisy, bright, complements the beef very well. Escargot: 3/5, they are a bit earthy, maybe its the type of snails they use, not the best. I have yet to find a place for escargot in the US, the best ones I've had was still in Paris. Rabbit pasta: 5/5 so good! You can taste the freshness of their home-made pasta, and the rabbit meat has a mild flavor. Steamed clams: 4/5 overall, a solid dish, but I had a few with sand in it. Took 1 star off. Rainbow trout: 4/5 a nice piece of fish, cooked well, but not as flavorful. Cassoulet: 4/5 a hearty dish with duck legs and sausages, beans. It was ok, not my fav.

The dining room is elegant and intimate without feeling stuffy, creating the perfect balance of fine dining and relaxed Tahoe hospitality. We enjoyed the four-course prix fixe menu with the wine pairing, and every course was excellent. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, the flavors were thoughtful and unique, and each dish felt like something special without being overdone. The wine pairings were fantastic and added to the experience throughout the meal. A special thank you to owners and chefs John and Nyna Weatherson. Their passion for what they do comes through in every aspect of the restaurant. Just as impressive as the food was the service--warm, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely focused on making guests feel cared for. The entire team helped make our anniversary memorable, and we left already talking about our next visit. If you're looking for a special dinner in Truckee, Trokay is the real deal. Outstanding food, exceptional hospitality, a beautiful atmosphere, and an experience that's worth every bit of the drive, time, and anticipation. Highly recommend. We'll definitely be back.

It is a beautiful venue inside with outdoor seating as well. Our server was Sebastian. There when you needed him and he was clearing plates etc as they emptied. We got to enjoy a little squirrel playing on the tree outside the window where we were sat. For this experience, it is actually pretty affordable. We will be going back again for sure!!

It is worth the trip up Mt. Rose for a date night. It is located at the end of a strip mall shopping center with discrete signage and a funky Jameson "open" sign. The seating arrangement is unique and varied with wooden benches, hearth height tables, and bistro cafe tables. Surprisingly, the bistro table with offbeat folding chairs was surprisingly comfortable for my husband and I through 4-courses. Service was warm and welcoming. Like actually welcoming. Like we were sitting in their living room as an invited guest. The drink menu was presented in an oversized, laminated booklet whereas the food menu was printed out from the POS at the timestamp for when we sat--carbon copies with white and yellow paper. The whole experience so far felt like we had stumbled into a secret speakeasy. The cocktail list was very unique. I took a chance and ordered Abu Hassan Does The Amalfi which had Arak (anise taste) cut with gin to bring down the strength which mixed well with the mint and lemon. I do not usually like anise and didn't know what Arak was, so when I smelled it I figured I would be trading drinks with my husband. Opposite actually--it was a delicious cocktail and ended up ordering a second during the meal. The husband ordered Hugo Verde which was a thick cocktail, almost like a juice. He ordered Double L Negrini next, and it was amazing!! I had a sip and wished I had ordered it myself! A harmonious mix between a Negroni and martini. I would recommend starting with this cocktail if you are unsure. On to the food, we placed our order for four dishes at the top, and each on was delicious and timed out perfectly to allow us to appreciate each dish and enjoy our conversation. Each dish was perfect for my husband and I to share. Started with Pan Tomat which was grilled bread with a spicy tomato spread. Then, the Grilled Chorizo with Amora (French mustard) was served in a mini cast iron skillet. I'm not a fan of mustard, but the mini chorizo links paired perfectly with the French-style mustard. We then enjoyed our veggies with Britt's Panzanella. This salad was bright, fresh and had the most delicious tomatoes! Finally, we ended with Ribeye Cap from the Josper which was perfectly cooked--pink inside and charred on the outside. The meat was served already cut which was perfect for sharing and did not require a knife. As we completed each dish I told my husband that it was my favorite. Literally every dish was amazing. I would not have changed a single thing, but at the same time I am eager to taste the dishes that I didn't not get to try. I am looking forward to an excuse to do another date night up in Incline as soon as possible.

The servers were kind and attentive, if a bit shy, but the real standout was the man behind the bar and, I assume, the menu. He was incredibly friendly, took the time to visit each table, and genuinely seemed excited to hear how everyone was enjoying their food and drinks. You can tell he has a real passion for what he does, and that energy adds so much to the experience. I'm blanking on the name of the cocktail I ordered, but it was a mix of a martini and a Negroni, which sounded unusual at first and ended up being absolutely delicious. On the food side, everything we ordered was bang on. The bread with rich tomato sauce was comforting and full of flavor, the chorizo sausages were spicy and savory, the endive salad was bright and acidic, and the milanesa was incredibly tender with a deep earthy flavor and paired with an arugula salad to balance things out. Definitely a place I'll be going back to again and again any time I'm in the area and a strong recommendation for the cocktails, the food, the ambience, but especially the people!

The service, staff, and overall evening were wonderful. The children were well behaved and acting exactly as you would expect at a family-friendly restaurant. Wolfdale's has always been a place where families are welcomed, and that was certainly our experience. What we did witness was the complaining party confronting and harassing the family with children, which was unnecessary, rude, and completely uncalled for. We have been coming to Wolfdale's since we were children ourselves, and it has always been one of our favorite restaurants because of its warm, welcoming atmosphere and exceptional service. Unfortunately, every now and then, there are people who seem to believe the world should cater exclusively to them. Thank you to the entire Wolfdale's team for handling the situation with professionalism, grace, and kindness while making all of your guests feel welcome. That is exactly why we will continue to return.

Here is what we noticed: - Our reservation was at 5:30, the time they open, and a bunch of people arrived all at once, but they quickly seated us all - They only serve beer and wine, but their wine list was really good and bottle prices were very reasonable for a restaurant. - Our server came over pretty quickly despite so many people arriving at once. - The menu is pretty broad with lots of different options, and there were many other specials as well. - My wife and I ordered the rack of lamb and the fettuccine with shrimp with added scallops. Both dishes came with complementary soup first. It's difficult to say which dish we liked more since both were excellent. The bread and hummus on the table was a welcome addition, and was especially good for sopping up the wonderful sauce from each dish. - We got tempted by dessert and opted for the bread pudding with a side of homemade ice cream. Wow wow wow is all I can say! - Service was great...There were three people working the entire place so service was attentive, but not overbearing. Bottom line: I almost don't want to rave too much because I don't want the place to get too crowded, but it's better than any place around that we've been to. We'll be back for sure!

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!
