“For starters I really thought this car was called face bar but it's called bar one and if you go downstairs they only serve nachos in the morning. Which of the hidden doors are continuing to different areas so if you come find us place to see you. And sometimes you have to pull up a seat next to the fire with people you don't now as you kill time but that's OK because they have tiny cups of water and if you drink like 10 tiny cups of water equals one cup of water. No no let's talk when we were there when we knew that there was a choice of food they have a homemade tamales and tomato soup but food and I would recommend that you put the tamales in the soup and then you put the bread in the soup and you have soup over all of the bread in the tamales and then sometimes you'll find tamale melt to put also with your tamales and soup and to be clear I was telling milk I have a new tamales. Other than that you can get beer is the size of your headAnd I will remind you of being in Mexico Siri Mexico City. That brings me to the beverages now it's OK by the groceries that we could price beverages I'm you can get a beer the size of your head for a good price six dollars I mean I paid four dollars for a beer this is my head of a delay in Mexico City. But also at the bar I go to middle of the photos other than that coffee was hot and decor was what I think I didn't really look in the tank when I'm talking to the resort and went to a gay snow.

“let me tell you something. I grew up in Sun Valley. Tahoe is part of me. My sister called the night before. They didnt take reservations. But, we told them what was up. my sisters n I planned a weeks trip for my mother's 78th birthday. We hadn't all been all together since my littlest sister was 4... 36 yrs later we are all in one place. Our mother wanted to see her friends. Basically our second set of parents growing up. We pretty much pretended we were nonchalant about it. Their daughter n us put a scheme together to surprise them all. Weeks of planning. The night staff left a note for the morning staff. They open at noon. The party of three showed up at noon... us, the party of six showed up 10 minutes fashionably late. So we could surprise n give our elderly parents arrhythmia.The staff was awesome! Table ready, James our waiter was spectacular...the food.... awesome. Not many restaurants would be asking as people came in... are you the party of 9? lol my sister from another set of parents...as her mom confused said " no we are a party of 3" and her daughter leaned back and whispered ..." yes we are the party of 9. but they don't know shhhh!" it was spectacular! Thank you to the staff... you all rock! I hope if we ever make it back and you're still are rocking the vibe we got today, we will be there. You all take care of your staff. Today this place made our moment so special. We cant say Thank you enough.“

“Mountain Magic at Big Blue View Bar, Homewood Ski ResortBig Blue View Bar, perched mid-mountain at Homewood Ski Resort, is a slice of alpine paradise for Jessica and me. As locals, Homewood is our winter haven, and Big Blue is the cherry on top of this snowy delight.The place is an embodiment of mountain charm, where the allure of fresh slopes meets the comfort of hearty food and warming drinks. Whether it’s burritos, drinks, or other culinary treats, the menu seems to stretch as long as the ski runs.But let’s talk about the views – they’re nothing short of magical. Sitting here, beverage in one hand, burrito in the other, gazing out at the pristine blues of Lake Tahoe on a clear day is an experience hard to rival. It’s these moments that make Big Blue a must-visit spot on the mountain.Service? It's as heartwarming as the food and drinks. Everything is served with a side of love, making each visit memorable."For a heavenly ski break with views and brews, Big Blue View Bar is your Homewood highpoint."“

“Gonzalo truly set the tone for an exceptional experience at the Living Room Lodge (LRL) at The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe. Warm, friendly, and incredibly attentive, he made us feel genuinely cared for, from start to finish. His hospitality felt effortless and heartfelt — and the heavenly vanilla latte he crafted came with a smile that made it even more special. Gonzalo is a true gem and a shining example of Ritz-Carlton’s world-class service & hospitality.

We were seated in a beautiful spot with stunning views of the Northstar ski slopes on a bright, sunny day. The experience was elevated by sitting behind a subtle tinted glass that softened the harshness of the sun while still letting in all the light and scenery — the perfect balance. Surrounded by towering Sierra Nevada pines, the setting felt serene, cozy, and quintessentially Tahoe.

We started with a vanilla latte that was nothing short of magical — it truly felt like a warm embrace in a cup. Smooth, comforting, and crafted to perfection.

The meat burger was perfectly done — juicy, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. My son absolutely loved the chocolate and strawberry ice cream, which was a delightful treat.

Dessert was the grand finale: the salted caramel lotus with vanilla sponge cake, caramel glaze, and cacao nib streusel was an absolute masterpiece. Each bite delivered a beautiful harmony of textures, flavors & suspense; indulgent yet refined.

An unforgettable experience that blends breathtaking views, outstanding food, and truly genuine hospitality.“
