“The best meal we’ve had in the Tahoe area all week long. Just perfectly done — my halibut with tomato shallot sauce was out of this world. Going to try and make it at home, it was very impressive! The potatoes gratin were perfect, and the rosemary bread and butter was also divine. Thanks for feeding us so well on our honeymoon. 🥰“

“Food tasted good, service was nice, price was pretty high, as you'd expect being right off the coast of Tahoe, with one of the major highways leading to Tahoe nearby.

Decent place to chill and relax if you're hanging around the nearby beaches, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here.

There were bathrooms for customers.

There's parking not too far from here. Didn't notice a dedicated lot.“

“Creamy Mac n Cheese, crispy sesame-ginger wings, and that basket of sweet potato fries were all on point — comforting, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with a cold Tahoe Pilz.

Morgan gave us excellent service, upbeat and genuine, which really elevated the whole experience. The kind of service that makes you want to come back — whether for a meal or just a drink.

The sauce lineup was a show of its own — blue cheese, ranch, Dijon mustard, ketchup, and Sriracha ranch. Each one brought something different to the table. The Sriracha ranch added a spicy kick, Dijon gave that sharp tang, and the blue cheese and ranch balanced everything with creamy coolness. Even the ketchup hit just right with the sweet potato fries. Every dip had a purpose — making the wings and fries not just tasty, but downright addictive.
