“One of our favorite places”

“Sylva is an absolute gem. Just 14 months in, this intimate restaurant has already mastered the art of creating a memorable dining experience. From the moment we walked in, everything was flawless: attentive service, inviting atmosphere, and perfectly curated music that enhanced rather than distracted.

A special note on their accommodation of dietary restrictions: my girlfriend has a unique set of food allergies, and our server had one of their chefs personally mark up the menu to clearly denote which meals would be safe. This level of care and attention is remarkably rare. We've only experienced this at a handful of other restaurants.

Now, the food. Each dish was exceptional, but a few standouts deserve special mention: the sourdough focaccia bread was extraordinary on its own, but paired with the pork loin, it became something transcendent. The scallops were the best I've ever had, perfectly seared with incredible flavor. Their burger exceeded all expectations, and the confit duck leg was absolutely stunning.

We finished with the bread pudding, which may have been the highlight of an already outstanding meal. Fresh whipped cream, rich chocolate chunks, and expert execution made it unforgettable.

Sylva is doing everything right. This is destination-worthy dining that rivals anything you'd find in a major city. Highly recommended.”

“What a treat! So lovely to have this beautiful new restaurant in our community. Different and delicious!”

“Justin was our server. This is the best food we have had in Incline Village. Service was excellent to boot. We love amazing food and are willing to pay for it. Sadly so many places here have the price but lack the amazing taste. We had chicken thighs and pork loin. We will be back!!”

“Such great breves, employees and atmosphere!! We've only been to Dark Horse Coffees in San Diego but this feels the same!! 😄☕😃☕”

“Stopped in for a quick lunch to go and was amazed out how good the wings were! I didn’t know what to expect but they exceeded all expectations by far! So good!!”

“Food is incredibly fine and very tasty. Very clean inside with amazing wait staff and prices are reasonable. The snow piled up here is on blizzard level but city just chugs along. Drove thru and stopped here and when I drive back home I will stop here again... I really like this place”

“Best IPA around. Matt is a rock star brewer!”

“Today I visited the Smoke Door Sanryo for lunch with my friend Isao Yoshikawa, the father of the new chef Kosuke Yoshikawa. All I can say is this was a truly wonderful experience with each course in the set lunch menu delivering uniquely superb taste that was delicately balanced with sauces that were extremely delicious. This is fine dining that shouldn’t be missed if you’re in the Kings Beach area of Lake Tahoe.”

“Great Food and Service! Wow! Thank you!”

“Phenomenal food, service, ambience and atmosphere. The menu changes and my favorite is the Tasting Menu. It is divine and I always feel like royalty when I go. 🍽️🧑🏽‍🍳👑🌊🌲”

“Great spot for a casual beer just outside of town! Greg, the owner, did a great job of making this place feel like an extension of your own living room but with better beer! Fun place to get a group together and the live music is always enjoyable!”

“I've traveled around the world and have ate at Michelin star restaurants, been served by James Beard winners near and far and from the moment I walked in my dining experience fell nothing short of top notch! I was immediately greeted with a friendly smile, my server promptly greeted me and provide exceptional service throughout the evening. The food was amazing and prepared to perfection! The ambience is amazing welcoming and comfortable. The whole dining experience from beginning to end was amazing.”

“My boyfriend and I are completely obsessed with Whole Treats. All of their bakery items are out of this world good and better than all glutenous bakery goods that I've had. Even their lattes are delicious! We can't say enough good things about this place and it's hard to not go there every day!!”
