Restaurants near Norden

“Absolutely outstanding! From the complimentary cauliflower/rice appetizer to the steak tartare, Hamachi Crudo, clam chowder, carrot soup, salmon and chicken parmigiana, it was all delicious. And, Mary, our server was as always , a real treat. All 4 of us agreed it was probably the best meal we have ever had. And none of us are spring chickens.”

“Great food!We came for dinner. There were no seats in the bar, so we sat in the cafeteria area adjacent. It was cold and a little loud (staff was doing some vacuuming)Be aware you need to order at the bar for dinner! It wasn’t obvious to us…”

“When I lived in San Francisco, this was one of my all-time favorite neighborhood restaurants. It's cozy, the staff are super friendly and it's a genuinely unfussy, American-style Italian place that fills you up with comfort food. Came back after a long time away and nothing has changed. It's still warm and inviting with just the right mix of boisterous and quaintness. Their pasta dishes are pretty generous and well-priced.”

“Food and service is really great here. Highly recommend!!”

“Super impressed! Kassandra’s customer service & Ryan’s pizza making skills set this place apart. My husband is from New York and he can never find a Cali pizza that works for him but he ate every bite!! Great job on behalf of the staff - can’t ask for anything more than great service and great pizza. Thanks guys!!”

“There’s No Better place to eat Mexican here in Truckee with Great food, family atmosphere and excellent drinks. Can’t say enough about this place 👍👍”

“I was expecting standard Western fare for breakfast but they had dumplings and a congee station! Lots of food options and the bagel fixings were nothing to scoff at! Impressed at the presentation, options, and quality! This would be a great buffet even if it wasn’t at a remote resort.”

“The pizza was way better than I expected, I'm a Philly girl so my expectations were low but they hit it out of the park on food.
The place was packed so the service was really slow. There was no one to buss tables and when asked there was some attitude. Tsk-tsk. Smile, even when it hurts!”

“Epic place to check out !”

“I don't normally write reviews, but I had to this time. The Truckee food scene is modest at best. Most restaurants range from bad to mediocre, with a few notable exceptions, such as The Drunken Monkey and Moody's. Last year I would have included the Dining Room at Village Lodge in the "perfectly fine" category.But my wife and I went to dinner there last night (Jan 2024), and it was immediately clear that something had changed. The service was attentive and the menu was inspired. Andrew did a great job as our waiter. Before even ordering, I said to my wife that they must have a new chef, and indeed they do! It's made all the difference.I ordered the duck, my wife had the halibut, and we shared the steak tartare. It was all delicious. We paired it with a French Sancerre for an impeccable meal. Truly fine dining at a reasonable (by Tahoe standards) price.I should note that we were skiing earlier that day, and prior to dinner had a wonderful time getting to know some of the staff at the bar. We spent the night upstairs at the lodge (cute room), and the next morning had an equally good breakfast and equally good service from Bella. Also, they've put in a coffee bar right by the fireplace between the bar and the dining area. It's a nice place to warm up after a few runs.Highly recommended and worth the short drive up from Truckee.”

“Fun place Good bar food Staff attentive”

“This place has been around for a while as a central hub for drinking and casual dining. The Reubin is Great as are fish tacos.

A recent visit begs me to update this post. Fish tacos were delivered without hotsauce or silverware. Never got either. 2nd Lemon Drop Martini was alcohol heavy ($17 ea). Hostess and server both from Russia or Eastern block...did not know what Google wallet was, had to ask. My 1st martini glass never got picked up even after I set it on top of the completed taco plate and pushed it far aside. The used dishes were ignored 3 times by a questioning server and sat the entire time after I had departed.

Let me train your servers and bartenders. They need it.”

“reduced menu in october,couldn't get hostess to move to another table even though place mostly empty, but usual good food but didn't feel up to its previous high standard”

“I had the Cobb salad with chicken and it was really nice and fresh! Took it to go and asked for extra lettuce and the ingredients separated out so I could build it myself, and I essentially got 2 salads worth!”

“Fun place Good bar food Staff attentive”

“Quick, friendly service! The chili hit the spot.”

“Been coming here for many years. The staff is great and the food always fresh and authentic. They have one of the best hot and sour soups I've ever experienced!”

“This place closes at 10pm. They let me order for takeaway at 10:30 when everything else was closed. To my most pleasant surprise, I got a paneer that was absolutely delicious, paired with equally delicious basmati rice and mango lassi. They were incredibly kind and gracious, and the food was fantastic. All of the food containers were absolutely filled to the brim, so I have leftovers for tomorrow. The medium spicy was more of a medium-hot spicy, but paired with the rice and the lassi it was perfect. Highly recommend!!”

“Great environment with wonderful vibes of hot buttered rum and snowy nights with a cozy feel.”
