“Totally amazing meal. Just the best in service and food.“

“Cheer's Atmosphere in South Lake Tahoe Tahoe!!!“

“Excellent breakfast and service!! We ate here every morning on our vacation!! Every single staff member was on point the entire time! From the time we walked in, until we were done, everyone was very attentive and friendly. We talked about the service every day. The food was absolutely wonderful and if we’re ever back in the area we will most definitely be back at Ernie’s again!!“

“Food is very good. Service was great - Nicole D is charming and efficient! We will be back (again)!“

“I can't believe we've been coming to SLT for years and didn't know about this place. We were just trying to find a place that serves poke nachos. Lakeside did not disappoint. We saw other dishes we were interested in come out; everything looked amazing. Bartender Marcel is THE BEST! He is so attentive and genuine. We are delaying our departure so we can go back to Lakeside again before driving home. Did I mention the view is AMAZING?“

“Magic Fusion is an awesome show to see and attend in Tahoe. We enjoyed the show with Robert Hall so much! He was funny and entertaining the whole night, involved the audience a lot, and shows you tricks you have never seen before! Go see it!!“

“My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful five-day stay and will absolutely be back to take in those breathtaking lake views and snow-capped mountains!“

“What an absolutely incredible spot. I will definitely be back. We ate here twice while in the area for 3 days. We came once for dinner and once for breakfast and it was the best food we had in Tahoe-hands down! We had the crudo, fried stuffed olives and truffle fries to share as starters. I’d never had fried olives and they were so tasty. The crudo was so tender and the truffle fries were perfect. I had the braised short ribs for dinner and I don’t think I’ve ever had better (and it’s my staple that I make myself when we have company so I’m biased!!!). The food quality is exceptional. They had an incredible wine list (I can’t remember which bottles we had-but we had lots and it was amazing), but don’t miss out on the cocktails & mocktails (I had the Harriet mocktail and my husband had the Clara cocktail and they were both delicious). The ambiance is elevated and high end while remaining casual and friendly- which is a hard balance to strike. We were here in late summer/early fall but I can only imagine how cozy this place would be in the winter after a ski day. For breakfast I had the cherry apple baked oats and it was divine! The staff are all super friendly & the service was great. There was a line up to get in both times we went but it’s totally worth the wait. Don’t miss this gem!“

“I was highly skeptical of this place. The loft? Magic show and food? Oh boy how wrong I was.

Drinks are creative, taste good, and have a good kick. The food? Amazing tapas. The duck tacos were a pleasant and yummy surprise.

My only regret is not going twice during my trip, but time was short.

Cheers!“

“We love this place! Have breakfast every time we are here! Fast and friendly service in a nice little quiet atmosphere.“

“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...“

“Wonderful food and time with loved ones“
