Flatstick Pub 4101 Lake Tahoe Blvd Suite # 101, South Lake Tahoe Pubs • $$
4101 Lake Tahoe Blvd Suite # 101, South Lake Tahoe

“What can I say about Flatstick? Is it the ambiance? The soundtrack playing absolute bangers? Maybe the mini golf or a rousing round of "duffleboard"? Perhaps the massive selection of other games and activities? No, the incredible food and the amazing selection of cold beer on draft? I'll tell what it REALLY is: the staff. They are all super friendly and make the experience what it is. Especially the cute blonde behind the bar, Bailey. She is the LITERALLY the best bartender EVER, no contest. She is charming, hilarious, and lively (not to mention that she possesses a beauty to rival Helen of Troy). I will LITERALLY never, ever, ever, ever go to another bar or restaurant in Tahoe.FLATSTICK RULEZ D00D!!!!!!!!!!”

Cafe Fiore 1169 Ski Run Blvd, South Lake Tahoe Italian • $$$
1169 Ski Run Blvd, South Lake Tahoe

“We had a 745pm reservation on a Friday night. We arrived a bit early and our table was not yet ready and since the place is really small we had to wait outside and the heater was out of gas so we were out in the cold (it was raining and was 39°F) for about 10 minutes. We were asked if we wanted bread - garlic bread or another option - we ordered the garlic bread which was good when it came out warm and fresh, however, got cold easily. I do not think it is worth $10. We ordered the soft-shelled crab for our appetizer and it was amazing ! I ordered the Linguine Fra Diavolo - it had adequate amount of seafood in it, the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and had great flavor. My boyfriend ordered the Bistecca alla Veneziana - it was a huge portion as it came with 2 steaks. The filet mignon was cooked as ordered (medium rare), however, they were not that tender but still okay. We Got the pear for dessert and this was very delicious! Servers that night, Ed and Jennifer, were nice and friendly Price is reasonable considering the size of the portions. Please note that the bill does not show an itemized list of the order - it has several lines of just prices. The place has 6 tables so make sure you call to make reservations - there is no option of doing online reservation. There is a parking lot. We will definitely return to this place the next time we visit South Lake Tahoe.”

We ordered a bunch of plates to share - everything was delicious. My favorite was the poke nachos. We sat at the bar for a drink before dinner and the bartender Laura was amazing!!! She was very attentive, funny, and most importantly made great drinks. I would come again just so Laura can make me another espresso martini! If you are staying in the area I would 100% recommend coming here. Thank you Laura for the great experience!”

“Good food! Prosciutto was way to salty thay it overpowered the rest of the ingredients. Pesto tasted great and so did the artichoke. Its just that the flavors of each dish doesnt compliment the other dishes for some reason. Individually its great but eaten together it was all over the place bur great food still tho! Would come back!”

Flour Girl Wedding Cakes 2093 James Ave, South Lake Tahoe Custom Cakes • $$
2093 James Ave, South Lake Tahoe

“We booked Flour Girl Wedding Cakes in October 2022 for our January 2024 Tahoe wedding! The most important thing to my husband was that our wedding cake actually taste GOOD- and Flour Girl waaaay more than exceeded our expectations. It was beautiful and a culinary masterpiece, and we had so much fun doing a wedding cake tasting and choosing all of our favorite flavors! We ended up doing a different combination of cake and icing and filling for each of our three tiers, then had several smaller half/quarter sheet cakes available to serve to wedding guests to make sure we had enough food for everyone. The cake was incredible, and whatever didn't get consumed by guests the night of our wedding was immediately finished at our morning after brunch the next day! They were so great to work with, delivered our cakes on time the morning of our wedding all the way to Tahoe City on a snowy winter weekend, and created a masterpiece of a wedding cake that was exactly what I had imagined. Thank you Flour Girl!!”

“Lake Tahoe cakes is FANTASTIC. I cannot recommend them enough. They were extremely responsive, professional, and helpful. We didn’t have a tasting beforehand for our wedding cake, but we knew it would be perfect. The cake was absolutely beautiful, and tasted even better than we could have imagined. My brother, who never eats/likes desserts, had a full slice of cake and raved about it. The cake was reasonably priced and could not have been more perfect. Highly recommend!!”

“Excellent food and service. I've been here a lot; it's my go-to food in SLT. I love the Jamaican Jerk with tofu, so I get it every time I go. I crave this dish at home in Reno often. It's spicy! I tried the ribs, only a few bites, but they were fire! They also have Pliny the Elder on tap. :-) Service is good. Ambiance is awesome, especially when you sit by the fishies.”
