“This is my favorite restaurant in California. I’ve had there tasting menus twice, and each time it was a new, miraculous experience. Their food is exquisite, the service is nice, and the ambiance is as expected. It’s a hidden gem in truckee and if you have the time and money I’d highly recommend it. It is worth the price, without a doubt. I had a pine ice dish about 2 years ago as one of the dessert courses and it was like eating the best blue bird powder day ever, with a hint of cozy cabin glow.“

“O.K., Coming to West Shore for last 20+ years. GF has been coming to West Shore since family cabin built in McKinney Creek in 1960. This place started off a little rocky a few years back but had definitely improved like a fine wine. I am a Carb boy and LOVE any variation of their Pizza's. GF non-Carb girl but still devours their pizza. Only suggestion (which is partially our fault) is to order extra Dates on their Date Pizza. Also, the Pickle salad could use some work (however, they refunded for that). Best deal on the West Shore and Tahoe City when it comes to price and quality. We usually go to Reno for dinner because of their quality choices, but the Dog and Bear holds up against the best that Reno has to offer. Service is 5 Star!!! FYI, I am a dog lover...Especially partial to Labs.“

“The pizza is the best. Been going there since the mid-80s.“

“We love Bluefish! They have the BEST poke bowls in town!“

“I love this place. Very good choice and the best pizza in Tahoe City. Friendly folks. Reasonable prices. You will enjoy their product!“

“Southern fried chicken sandwich was great. Anja made our experience over-the-top. We learned of a pet loss as soon as we ordered. Her kindness and compassion are appreciated and will always be in our hearts. She is a beautiful soul ❤️“

“This place was sooooo good! Amazing food, beers, and service.“

“We visited a few years ago, in 2018 and bought several bottles of Red Barn Red. Tonight 2/15/2025, I opened our last bottle. It held its color and flavor. We are really enjoying this lovely wine. I think it's time to visit Truckee, again. Cheers!“

“The whole experience was very enjoyable - the staff made our 25th wedding anniversary celebration one to remember - complementary champagne started us off. The ahi appetizer was just the right size to share. The main courses were delicious and the complimentary dessert was exquisite. Highly recommend.“

“Zano's provided family sized portions of Eggplant Parmiaga, Sausage Lasagna, and Spaghetti Bolognese, Caesar Salad, and Garlic Cheese Bread. They were a big hit and we had leftovers to boot for 26 party goers. Austin, the owner was super helpful. We have a place in Truckee so they'll be our go-to restaurant for apres skiing parties for sure.“

“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 👍👍“

“Fantastic view of the lake with good food and cold beer!!!

Was visiting Tahoe and wasn’t some good food and cold beer after hiking all day. TNBC hit the spot!!! We were even treated to some live music on Friday night.

Wether you are a local or visiting, I’d highly recommend.“

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

“The Sawyer is a lively and fun place to dine. Service is excellent. We had the beef stroganoff, portobello mushroom on brioche bun, cheesy loaf were all made to perfection. Yum! Special shout out to the cheesy loaf— we would go back just for that. It is that good! While the room was full of energy, the entire experience was relaxing and we got to enjoy our meal and have nice conversation. Our server did a great job! And we were never rushed. We had a wonderful night. We will be back!“

“We were in Truckee for the day and wanted something different. This was the perfect place! Outdoor dining was amazing balls! Comfy setting, like your own outside patio. The food was exactly what we wanted! A watermelon non alcoholic spritz was so refreshing. Not sweet but more blended fruity mix. A hot tasty sandwich, perfectly crispy sweet potato fries and that day.. a velvety French onion soup. It was a different type of bread, bunch of spices and big slice of the cheese! So much cooked onions and a broth that tasted like it was cooked for hours, to get a deep rich beef taste. Staff was so friendly and nice. Will be going back to try their pizzas and salads!“

“If you are looking for the locals spot, this is the place. Great food at a reasonable price. Not much more that a hungry human could ask for.“

“I was searching for food that was not crowded, admittedly I was overwhelmed by the weekenders that flock from all over cities that were crammed in the shopping district. I spotted a church building with a small sign that said, cafe open, as I was making my way out of town with haste. Alas, I found exactly what I needed. Score, big time. It is a beautiful, tranquil space, and the sandwich I had, Ban mi (add turkey)...beyond exquisite. The lavender drink concoction was eloquent and refreshing. Go here for a zen delicious af meal and very nice service.“

“This is a good place to stop and have lunch during your Northstar ski experience. However, I can't give it five stars because the prices are at least double the normal cost. That applies to everything sold here. Options for vegan or vegetarian guests are very limited. All that aside, it's a nice ski lodge, and the food is fine if you like burgers, fries, pizza, chicken tenders, etc. Lines are usually short, and the staff is friendly and helpful. It is clean and tidy.“

“I got the 1/2 tritip plate with coleslaw and rice with tortillas. Very tasty and fills you up. My daughter got the 1/2 chicken (which is literally half of a chicken) with coleslaw and rice with garlic bread and she brought half home. it was all tasty.“

“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.“

“Fresh Tex- Mex. Chips salsa a guacamole a must!“

“Very friendly staff, we really enjoyed our lunch, all the customers were smiling and enjoying their food!“

“We stopped to eat here before the fireworks at Commons beach on 4th of July and it was great. Awesome local vibe with good drink selection and classic American dishes. They had large TV’s with baseball on, so my son was happy. Parking was easy and the staff was friendly and kind!“

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

“Awesome experience; great food.“

“Very great experience!!! Great prices compared to some of the other restraunts here. Ate here 3 times throughout our stay. I got the quesadillas, tortilla soup, and churros. They were all great! Would highly recommend to anyone visiting here!!!✅✅✅??“

“Hands down best Mexican restaurant I've ever eaten at. I'm always disappointed when I go to Mexican places, I don't know why. I can't remember the name of what I got, but I remember it was a burrito and it had the word Red in the name.“

“GREAT food; peaceful, yet upbeat & friendly environment! Waitress was perfect; informative of varying sauces & menu, being our first visit! Can't wait to return😍“

“In all honesty, we ended up not eating here. The menu here on google was an old winter menu, so when we looked at the menu on site, we didn't see anything we wanted. Maybe call the restaurant or try to find a current menu. the service staff was wonderful. They sat us with glasses of water, and were apologetic about the menu miscommunication. We left, but I left them a tip for their troubles.“

“Stopped in for a birthday lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Guy Ferrari has eaten here before and it was featured on his show Diners, Drive in’s and Dives! I had the real crab grilled cheese and the bison chili and it was a great combo.“

“We sat on the porch with beautiful weather. Inside vibe is really cool also!
We had the mushroom tortelli and it was amazing. Savory but light. We are from bourbon country (KY) and had an old fashioned that was incredible! Owner was present greeting tables and so personable. Definitely recommend!“
