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

“Authentic Mexican food and amazing deli. Where the locals eat!“

“Amazing food and view highly recommend“

“Loved this coffee spot in Kings beach. Good coffee, lattes were not overly sweet. Breakfast sandwiches were fresh and tasty. It would be awesome to have some bagel variety. The shop is small and feels crowded even with a few people, but they have outside seating. Overall, I recommend you try it out!“

“This by far has been the most excellent restaurant I have dined at in all of Tahoe. The mushroom omelette that I had was excellent. The server was busy, but she made sure that I had everything that I needed and checked upon me frequently. The atmosphere was nice. It was breezy and outside and felt good. The prices were fair.Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“Love love loved this place. It's a cute little restaurant inside a grocery store. They have outdoor seating but we were in in a snow storm, so had to manage with the limited space indoors. But the food and the people were so good. My husband took the leaf eater and I took the teriyaki udon noodle soup. Both were Yum. We even took a pesto baguette to-go. Everything about this place is to fall in love with. ?

Vegetarian options: There are quite few options for vegetarians in sandwiches and noodle soups.. Plus many salad options.“

“Thania’s juice bar has healthy juices, great Mexican inspired dishes, and dope remedies for all sorts of ailments. But the best part is….. THANIA!!! She and her staff give a great experience. She answers questions, makes suggestions, and does everything with kindness and grace. Come for the juice, stay for the positivity.“

“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. 🍽️🧑🏽‍🍳👑🌊🌲“

“This was the most delicious and beautiful vegetarian restaurant meal we have ever had!! Compliments to the entire staff. We will definitely be back!!“

“What a pleasant surprise.

Few people come to Tahoe for the food, but Sage Leaf made this meal feel like a destination in itself.

The burrata appetizer was beautifully composed. The citrusy yuzu jam, perfectly toasted bread, savory prosciutto, and creamy Di Stefano burrata all worked in harmony. Every component felt intentional and contributed to the dish without overwhelming the others.

We also loved the Niman Ranch pork chop. The citrus brine kept the meat remarkably tender while giving it a clean, bright flavor. Paired with creamy polenta and perfectly cooked mushrooms, it was both comforting and refined.

The house-made pasta was another highlight. It appears to change with the seasons, and this version showcased a thoughtful selection of vegetables that truly felt like “eating the season.” The combination of balsamic and pesto was unexpectedly delicious—the acidity of the balsamic brought out the richness of the Parmesan beautifully.

What stood out most was the care behind the food. This is clearly a kitchen that cooks with intention and respect for ingredients. Our server, Brandon, was excellent and made us feel that same level of thoughtfulness throughout the meal.

If I could offer one small piece of feedback, it would be that a few dishes seemed to have many ideas competing for attention. A bit more restraint and a clearer focal point might make them even more memorable.

Sage Leaf reminded me that great restaurants don’t just serve food—they capture a moment in the season and put it on a plate.“

“Nice location. Much be good, a lot of people“

“Really delicious! Fun choices & good variety. Holly V took excellent care of us & was so kind! We sampled several items but our favorites were the pepper crostini, the halibut, & the gumbo. Oh! The ice cream sandwiches were so good & just the right size for a sweet end to our meal. Definitely would love to come back!“

“The food was delicious! The coffee was amazing. And the service was excellent!!“

“Coffee Kayaks Karma all here.“

“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!!“

“Visited Sunday Morning June 11, 2023. Was very impressed with every employee with whom I came in contact. Our meals were excellent and the coffee was the best I have had for years!“

“I love pizza! Gathered here with a work group and had a very nice time. Atmosphere was relaxed. Staff was so friendly and helpful. FOOD - first the salad bar was delicious/fresh and so yummy! The pizza?! Amazing! I was really happy to bring some home to enjoy! Go and eat - you will not be disappointed!“

“Best affordable option in Truckee!“

“This is the best place for breakfasts, sandwiches, pastries and other treats in all Lake Tahoe -- and the folks inside are the best!“

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

“We've been coming to this bistro for many years, typically once or twice a year, and it's always a pleasure to return—especially during the summer. The outdoor patio is one of its biggest draws, and with the area's reliably pleasant weather, it's usually a wonderful place to dine. The food has been consistently good to very good over the years.

On this visit, we ordered the gnocchi with morels (excellent), escargots (very good), the New Zealand rack of lamb (very good and a generous portion), the salmon special (good), and La Grande Dessert (good).

The wine list is extensive and includes many interesting selections. Corkage is $40, and proper wine glassware was provided, which is always appreciated.

Service was friendly and efficient throughout the meal.

Overall, the restaurant continues to offer very good value, although the $40 corkage fee is on the high side.

One small annoyance was the suggested gratuities on the check. The lowest suggested tip was 23%—calculated on the post-tax total—with the other options being 25% and 30%. Those recommendations felt rather ambitious. Fortunately, there was also an option to leave a custom tip, which is what we chose. The service was good and certainly deserved recognition, but we prefer to determine the gratuity ourselves rather than be steered toward unusually high preset percentages.

Overall, this remains one of our favorite neighborhood bistros, and we'll continue to return.“

“tri tip burrito was great“

“I love this place. Great place to eat sushi!“

“This restaurant is fantastic! Lukas was one of the best servers I have come across. They have unique and flavorful twists on traditional Scandinavian dishes. And the manager Jeff sources local foods. The ahi appetizer in cones was a recommendation from Jeff and did not disappoint. Our Schnitzel was fabulous and so was the elk pot pie. It was quiet at the time we happened to be there so we got to chat a bit. We learned that the owner’s daughter is the pastry chef so we had to try the cheesecake. Also delicious. It was just a great dining experience.“

“Marley has poured her heart, soul and imagination into the creation of this place. Every item is authentic and homemade and delicious. An absolute gem! Breakfast is awesome! Some of the best sausage and bacon I’ve ever had.
Quite a variety here, with some beloved classics from here and abroad.“

“So. Many. Flavors. The ice cream was delicious and the staff was very generous with the scoop size. There's a nice little patio outside where we were able to sit and enjoy our ice cream. Highly recommend the chocolate dipped waffle cone with peanuts!“

“Great breakfast and wonderful service.“

“Excellent service and quality of food! They were responsive to changing our reservation time from 7 pm to 6:15 pm. The Guéridon service by Matt was particularly notable, and his insights, suggestions, sharing of the history of the restaurant, and humor made our special evening even more memorable.“

“A bike event on Sunday turned into a cold, rainy, windy, miserable day. We went to The Dam Cafe for hot chocolate and got so much love! The owner not only welcomed the wet, muddy riders in, she put out space heaters and wrapped us in blankets! Amazing! I was so cold and was warmed both physically and emotionally by the kindness. The food and drink where delicious. Can’t say enough good things. A little cottage of heaven in Tahoe City!“

“Gourmet pizza! We love coming here whenever we are in town. Family owned business and the owner is a wonderful person. We had the pleasure to meet him 3 winters ago. I am so glad how this place gets more and more popular!!

Taste and ingredients are great. The temperature control on the pizza is on point. Price on root beer is so good! Can’t beat that.
One thing to note, it does take long time to get the pizza, if you are in a rush, you can either call ahead to order or try this place when you have time to enjoy. It took us about 45mins to get our pizza a few weeks ago.

They have indoor and outdoor seating! How relaxing.“

“First time here at this place! Great food, we sat at the Bar for Dinner, they had video poker. My Wife put in a $20. She cashed out with a 144$!!! The Bartender Gabby went above and beyond for us!!! We're going back for Dinner tonight 06/20/2026. Someone looking for a great place to eat, don't look any further, you've come to the place you need to be!!!“

“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.“

“Best food we have had in Tahoe. Period !!!! Try the onion rings Fat cat style. !!!“

“I loved the vegan broth options! Glad we could find a place that has more vegan friendly broth and toppings! Our server Jeraldine was awesome and she took care of our complicated order due to our food allergies! We will be back again!“

“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“

“We had a fantastic dinner experience from start to finish. The food was well-prepared, full of flavor, and beautifully presented, with each course arriving at the right pace so nothing felt rushed. What really made the evening stand out was the service. Eddie was attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. He managed the table with ease, always checking in at the right moments without being intrusive and making thoughtful recommendations that elevated the meal. Cristian, his assistant server, was equally impressive—quick, courteous, and always one step ahead with water refills, table maintenance, and timing. Together, they worked seamlessly as a team, which made the whole dining experience feel smooth and well cared for. Overall, it was a great night out with excellent food and service that felt polished and genuinely hospitable.“

“Great dinner and wine at Petra! It is located in the charming Northstar village, which is very active with a roller rink, different restaurants, gelato, coffee shops, and a candy shop. Petra is the cozy vibe of the village! Great wine options- I loved the Cabernet Sangiovese. Nice guy behind the bar recommended the chicken meal and it was so good- I ate every bite! The Brussels sprouts were so crispy and yum, the chicken was tender, and the hummus was delicious. Will come back for the dessert!“

“We ordered two cauliflower crust pizzas and a salad for pick up. The cauliflower crust was not an option on the online menu so submitted the order verbally via phone. I figured the cauliflower crust would cost more but I almost fell over when picked up the pizza and told it was $71! Really not sure why I didn't just walk out and tell them to stick the pizza. At this crazy price, I expected an exceptional pizza however, it was anything but. First of all, it was NOT cauliflower pizza crust! Second, it was cold and the crust was hard, with very little sauce. Extremely disappointing.... pass on this overpriced garbage!“

“I loved this place! It was really neat to go inside and take a look around. We ate outside, which was perfect for this weather. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. I got the peach salad with grilled chicken, which tasted delicious! The portions were a little smaller than I would have liked for the price, but it was a great portion for a smaller lunch salad. Would definitely recommend going there, especially eating outside and absorbing the atmosphere.“

“A go to place whilst in the carnelian Bay Area :“

“The food is a little pricey, but very good! I got the pastrami sandwich. The music doesn’t match the vibe of a tap house at all. Also the service method is fast food design. You order and pay and take a number. Overall would get takeout for the food, but not enjoy in house again.“

“Great food and beer - and nice people serving 👍“

“Our favorite place for sushi and girls outings, love the atmosphere, the food and friendly staff.“

“Best Cheese Burger I have ever had!“

“We stumbled upon this spot & after a long, tree-topping adventure and it was a lifesaver for the hungry crew!
Glad we'd called in to reserve tables — when we arrived, it was packed with lines out the door. Service was prompt, and the food was yum! Our group went with tom yum soup, tempura, rolls (veg and shrimp), satay (chicken), drunken noodles, red curry and fried rice — most of them hit the mark!
We even snagged extra fried rice with tofu, portions were just right, and prices were reasonable. I'd definitely go back, if I were in the area!“

“Eat here ASAP! The burgers were SO good and the French fries we're amazing! We couldn't believe such great food at great prices! Cant beat the service! Might commute from Kansas City to eat here again! YUM!“

“One of our favorite places“

“A great place regardless of time of year!“
