“Amazing meal every time and owned by incredible people ❤️“

“Had a wonderful dinner here in February. The menu was excellent with many meat and fresh fish dishes. We had the pork chop which is our absolute favorite, as well as a seafood special. The wine list is extensive and reasonably priced. Great service - we appreciated not feeling rushed. Highly recommend if you are in the area.“

“let me tell you something. I grew up in Sun Valley. Tahoe is part of me. My sister called the night before. They didnt take reservations. But, we told them what was up. my sisters n I planned a weeks trip for my mother's 78th birthday. We hadn't all been all together since my littlest sister was 4... 36 yrs later we are all in one place. Our mother wanted to see her friends. Basically our second set of parents growing up. We pretty much pretended we were nonchalant about it. Their daughter n us put a scheme together to surprise them all. Weeks of planning. The night staff left a note for the morning staff. They open at noon. The party of three showed up at noon... us, the party of six showed up 10 minutes fashionably late. So we could surprise n give our elderly parents arrhythmia.The staff was awesome! Table ready, James our waiter was spectacular...the food.... awesome. Not many restaurants would be asking as people came in... are you the party of 9? lol my sister from another set of parents...as her mom confused said " no we are a party of 3" and her daughter leaned back and whispered ..." yes we are the party of 9. but they don't know shhhh!" it was spectacular! Thank you to the staff... you all rock! I hope if we ever make it back and you're still are rocking the vibe we got today, we will be there. You all take care of your staff. Today this place made our moment so special. We cant say Thank you enough.“

“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. 🍽️🧑🏽‍🍳👑🌊🌲“

“Book a reservation at Sylva. I cannot recommend this place enough, it is a fantastic staff, amazing menu and beautiful place. Every dish was beautifully executed and delivered more than it promised. The palette on their chef and the flavors their menus bring cannot be missed. I will be back here every time I’m in Tahoe from now on. Trust the chefs at Sylva and the staff will take care of the rest. They do get crowded so please make that reservation ahead of time. My favorite place in Tahoe City, hands down.“

“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.“

“We came for dinner on a Friday night on a holiday weekend and were sat with no wait! We had the best waitress, Kira. Loved the butternut squash ravioli and had one of the best burgers I’ve had in a while! Wish we could have seen the view in the daylight!“

“There are places in the world that feel almost unreal, and Lake Tahoe is one of them. Tucked gently between the mountains, it carries a quiet kind of magic that you don’t fully understand until you stand there yourself. The water is so clear it feels like looking through glass, reflecting the sky in shades of deep blue and soft silver. It’s the kind of beauty that doesn’t need to try—it simply exists, effortlessly breathtaking.

In the early morning, Tahoe feels peaceful and untouched. The air is crisp, the world is still, and the only sound is the gentle movement of the water meeting the shore. It’s in these moments that you feel something shift inside you, like the noise of everyday life fades away, replaced by calm and clarity. Nature doesn’t rush here, and somehow it reminds you that you don’t have to either.

As the day unfolds, sunlight dances across the lake, and the surrounding pine trees stand tall and steady, as if they’ve been quietly protecting this place for centuries. Whether you’re walking along the shoreline, sitting quietly watching the waves, or laughing with people you love, Tahoe has a way of making every moment feel meaningful. It’s not just a destination—it’s a feeling, a gentle reminder of how beautiful life can be when you slow down and truly take it in.

And then there’s the evening. The sky begins to change, painted in soft hues of pink, orange, and gold, reflecting perfectly on the lake’s surface. It feels almost like time pauses, giving you a chance to breathe a little deeper and hold onto the moment just a little longer. As the sun disappears behind the mountains, Tahoe becomes something even more special—quiet, intimate, and deeply comforting.

Lake Tahoe isn’t just a place you visit. It’s a place that stays with you. Long after you leave, you carry a piece of its calm, its beauty, and its quiet healing within you. It reminds you that sometimes, the most wonderful things in life are the simplest—nature, peace, and the people you share it with.“

“The food is exceptional, try the Halibut, you will love it! Joey did a wonderful job and the entrire staff is very welcoming and helpful. Perfect place to kick back and have a delicious meal and/or a cocktail.“

“One of the best restaurants I’ve ever experienced! The staff were amazing too!! Definitely tell all my friends that travel to Tahoe that this is a must try!!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Staff was friendly and able to pivot quickly when a small meetup changed to a larger gathering.“

“Wow just wow (food wise this is not a review of casino itself) usually when i go to eat and see something with a single burger around 12$+ i just know I'm gonna be ripped off but no the burgers here we're genuinely good the price felt worth it, not to mention the Tacos were genuine Mexican tacos even my mother was surprised when she realized a white guy cooked them since he really captured the Mexican spirit in tacos and salsa overall u will be back when i visit reno“

“As a European, I just had to have melted cheese after skiing, and I am very happy I found La fondue! The dishes are authentic and very tasty. We were definitely full after the Alpine fondue and a shared chocolate fondue. A wonderful place for a hearty meal!“

“We ordered (1) eggs (over medium) and bacon, potatoes, sourdough toast and (2) build your own omelette with mushrooms, pepper jack, spinach and onions,, fresh fruit (which was excellent) sourdough toast. Service was excellent and fast. The food was good although the over medium eggs could have been cooked a bit more. We'll definitely come back.“

“The best part of this restaurant is it's environment and it's dog friendliness. We always go with Ares our JRT and you often see other dogs, on the patio. Food is good too, but I actually like my own cooking of quality meat in general.“

“Delicious food with a great atmosphere“

“We’re visiting from the Uk and can’t recommend Za’s enough. Amazing food, amazing view, amazing service, amazing food, amazing staff and amazing value. I can’t recommend this place enough, we loved it and the only negative is that we live a million miles away! Thank you for with a lovely experience xx“

“My boyfriend and I stopped by Big Water Grille to ask about a gift card we had ordered about a month ago. The manager, Chris, went above and beyond to help us! He immediately replaced the card on the spot and was incredibly kind and professional throughout the whole interaction. We decided to stay for a drink afterward and took in the cozy ambiance by the fireplace. Between the setting and Chris’s warmth, it truly made our visit special! We left feeling so grateful for how caring and attentive he was. Thank you, Chris, for turning a small issue into such a positive experience! We cannot wait to come back!“

“Beautiful views and charming atmosphere!“
