“It was our first time here and we were so impressed by the menu! Lots of great options and there’s something for everyone. We had a reservation and were quickly seated. I was pleasantly surprised to see a high chair, kids water cup and wikki stix waiting for our toddler. So thoughtful!

We started with a beer flight and were delighted by the variety of flavors from the Holla Back Heff to the Oktoberfest to the Mexican Chocolate Stout. Of course we had to have an IPA in there too, which was also really tasty!

For an appetizer, we shared the Elote dip which had great flavor and was big enough to share at a table for four. It was the perfect starter to our meal.

I ordered the shoyu ramen with pork belly and was impressed by all the fresh veggies it came with! My almost two year old toddler also loved munching on the julienne carrots and noodles that were cooked to perfection. There was lots of depth to the broth and the pork belly had a nice smokiness that was really delicious!

My husband got the fish and chips, which was a large portion of delicious beer battered rock cod and plenty of crispy fries (which helps when others at the table want to share your meal!). He also ordered a ski bum sour cocktail, made with milk wash bulleit, spiced apple simple syrup, lemon and nutmeg - which was flavorful and the right combination of sweet and sour.

We also ordered the chicken tendys for our son and had enough left over to pack for his lunch the next day.

For dessert, we had the chocolate cheesecake and key-lime pie. Both were yummy and felt like the perfect way to end our meal.

Overall, we loved ambiance of the restaurant and the service was exceptional. Definitely a family friendly atmosphere and will surely be our new go-to spot when in Tahoe.“

“This is a good place for breakfast and lunch. However, the service is a bit confusing; they provide black coffee when you sit at the table. We wanted to order breakfast, but the server said, "I am not your server. Let me send you the right person." They simply left us without sending the server or whoever was responsible for taking our order. It was our first time there, so I don't know if this is a common occurrence. Everything else about the place is good.

Vegetarian options: For vegetarians, simply ask the server whether they can make it without meat.

Parking: We visited on Friday, so I'm not sure about the availability on the weekend.“

“With reservations the wait was about 5-10 minutes. Beautiful dining area. The food was good. Wait time from order to table about 25 minutes. Sever was friendly. Coffee cup and water glasses sat empty for 15-20 minutes. Not terrible but needs a few tweaks for me to give an outstanding rating.“

“Honestly this place is a gem. Great atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff and we came here looking for tapas and we found just that. If you want some cocktails and small bites, this hits the mark.

However, portions are small. The filet is literally tweezer food. Like it could have been one course of a 10 course tasting menu, that small. The gratin potatoes were really good but was (no joke) one mouthful. Also, I’m not certain that it was 6oz. petite filet as our server mentioned but maybe 6 thin slices, 4oz at best. There was no sharing, I ate that shiz in 4 bites, $26. I’m all for high quality and I’m happy to pay $60-75 for a New York (not even the best cut, obviously not Morton’s steakhouse prices or portions with super inflated white collar independent steakhouse prices, or even like Paul Flemings steakhouse quality, you know Paul Fleming right, the PF Chang’s parent company) but knock my socks off guys, like make those the 4 best bites I’ve ever put in my mouth.“

“Beautiful experience! I took my mom for a nice holiday dinner - we started with the pork belly with a nice pairing of strawberry salad. For entrees, we had the mushroom ravioli and the scallops - yum! Cooked perfectly, and the sauces were rich and flavorful, will definitely order these again! We passed on dessert, but a bottle of New Zealand Sauv Blanc was perfection as we delighted in the wonderful service. Will enjoy this place again and again!“
