Absolutely sensational. Travelling with a gluten allergy, especially to ski resorts, can be a real drag. Luckily, the Stonefly could provide me with the best gluten free (and vegetarian for me, but plenty of delicious looking options for meat eaters too!) meal I've eaten in California. Our server (Amber) was so thoughtful, knowledgeable and accommodating, I felt like I was in a safe pair of hands! Cannot recommend enough for a delicious meal, just make sure to make a reservation!

Stopped here for dinner after Kirkwood last week. Amazing service, food- Everything was great! Seems hard to get a reservation so plan ahead! The charred cabbage is a great dish to start with. We had the chicken ravioli, pork chop (which was enormous), NY strip and the Chipotle chicken with Calabria chili. Great spot- definitely check it out!

Words truly can’t capture how incredible it is to experience Stonefly. This hidden gem is easily one of my favorite restaurants—and I’ve dined at many over my 59 years. It’s not just the unbelievably delicious food, but also the warm, quaint, and cozy ambiance paired with a genuinely friendly and welcoming staff that makes you feel like family.
We always request our favorite server, Amber, who is absolutely exceptional—truly one of a kind. Her service is personal, engaging, and downright hilarious. She has us laughing the entire time and makes every visit feel memorable.
And the food… wow—just WOW. The calamari is unique and outstanding, the wedge and Caesar salads are delicious, and the filet mignon is truly next level. Then comes dessert. Faith is an extraordinary baker; her carrot cake and toasted coconut cake are pure heaven. I’m already looking forward to trying her tiramisu, which I hear is equally amazing.
With a menu full of exceptional choices and incredible rotating specials, it’s nearly impossible to choose just one dish. Stonefly delivers excellence at every level. Because the restaurant is small and intimate, reservations are recommended—and absolutely worth it. I highly recommend!

The food was phenomenal!! Some of the best lamb rack I've ever had. I got to sit at the bar and watch the chefs at work, and you can tell all of them are super highly trained and very passionate about their work. Also, the waitresses were really nice and welcoming. Overall restaurant had a lovely cozy atmosphere, would definitely come back.

Such a great hidden place. The food is amazing, the staff is great but the chef's really need to be complimented. We had 1 of the best meals last night. The fillet mignon was exceptional. The atmosphere is quaint and comfortable. Definitely a place everyone should try

I found this restaurant through a Google search, as there are limited dining options in town—especially after snowboarding at Kirkwood. I was excited to try it after reading many positive reviews and because I enjoy supporting local, mom-and-pop businesses.
Unfortunately, it was not clearly communicated online that reservations are required either on Google or Yelp. I even called ahead to confirm they were open before driving there. When we arrived, the interaction felt dismissive and unwelcoming, and the overall atmosphere was uncomfortable. A comment made by another customer added to the awkward and unpleasant experience stated, “out or in” yelling from the table where he was sitting from, and the whole group just laughed.
We decided to leave and instead went to Cutthroat Tavern nearby, where the experience was the complete opposite. The staff was friendly and welcoming, there was live music, the environment felt relaxed and inclusive, and the food and beer were excellent. I would highly recommend Cutthroat Tavern.
I went directly to their website and did saw you do have call to make a reservation, but was not clearly stated here on this platform.

And I thought Carson Valley didn't have any good restaurants...I stand corrected! This place has been recommended to me numerous times, and I finally made it here. Food was amazing. Staff were amazing. I had a great meal! I highly recommend and will be returning sooner than later. No complaints (unusual for me ;-) )

Service is amazing so is the food. They source some of the best produce the chicken me and my buddy split was a free range chicken. Last time I went I had the filet special and that was cooked to perfection with a gorgonzola sauce. The calamari is a must being a foodie I usually prefer the calamari rings and tencles however they cut a calamari steak up and serve it in a awesome beurre blanc sauce. The steak itself is breaded in macadamianuts. They definitely need a entree portion of this on the menu because it's so delicious. Being a Sommelier I am usually not a sangria person thiers isn't too sweet though it's a must as well!!!! The outside area is beautiful and is heated. The inside is cute and very quaint. The food is under priced and that is hard to find these days !!! Being in the industry and picky due yourself a favor and go to stone fly and spend time in the beautiful quaint town of markeliviile!!!
Fantastic atmosphere and phenomenal food! Run by the owners, Faith and Jason. Save room for Faith’s homemade desserts!

Well worth the drive from Minden. The staff was friendly and helpful. We had wonderful salmon and swordfish with calamari appetizers. We have been here at least five times, and it's always great.
