“Holy crap!! What a great spot! I went on a Friday night, no reservation, but they made a spot for me and my two dogs! They had a dog menu and I got the beef bowl for my boys. The food was amazing, had the truffle fries and artichoke pasta. The staff was so nice. My Theo kept jumping on them, so annoying, he's not usually like that, but they just loved on him instead of getting annoyed, though I'm sure they were. Literally the best little spot in south lake tahoe. Cannot recommend enough!!“

Perfect little brunch atmosphere and set up! ❤️ You can not visit Lake Tahoe and pass this honey up!“

“One of a kind of experience. You're so close if not right on the border of Nevada and California and you can sit and eat and look at both sides depending on what side of the building you're on. If you can ski and ski better than average you can get there. If you don't ski take the gondola from the lake below and enjoy the view from the gondola and lunch on the probably your highest point on the mountain...“
