Food was exceptional and so are the hosts, everyone was friendly. This is going to be our must go spot if we are in Tahoe.

Absolutely phenomenal place with incredible people and food. This is a Tahoe must try, quite literally the best vibes and flavors.

Perfect for those looking for gluten free and vegetarian options. Carve out a night for appetizers, drinks, mains and a yummy dessert. Next time I am coming and saving more room for dessert!! However, flavors of the tofu dish WERE AMAZING. So truly every bite is worth it.

Vegetarian options: Tofu and lots of vegan appetizers

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, vegan, vegetarian

The food was so good!! Most places that I’ve been to that have clean organic food usually bland the food here was so flavorful it was so good

Delicious food, small menu but everything has amazing flavor. Even the salad, which blew my mind! We got appetizers, a main course and even though we were full, we needed to try dessert. Great decision! ? we also had the friendliest server in all of California and one of the chefs (husband and wife team) came out to greet us and ask how everything was. Cute atmosphere. Highly recommend to all!

It's rare to find food that feels like you're eating passion, love, art, creativity, and the splendor of life all in one –– and Spoon has it! The chefs here clearly live their craft, as everything I've ever eaten here has been one of the best meals I've ever had. And I grew up around gourmet food, so I'm not easily impressed when it comes to food. Everything is always perfectly cooked with just the right flavors... and often with creative cuisine that you can't get elsewhere (or if you tried, it would be very underwhelming in comparison).

In addition to the amazing food, the atmosphere is lovely -- both indoors and outdoors, and the service is friendly, knowledgeable, and all-around great. And the owners/chefs seem like such wonderful people –– which is a big deal for me, as I prefer to only support businesses run by good people... and given how amazing the cuisine is, that makes it soooooo easy to do here!

Oh and if you're thinking to have the meatballs (which are the best ever!) you will be so happy to sub veggies instead of linguini - it has nothing to do with carbs and everything to do with amazing flavor!

My advice: Do not leave a trip to Tahoe without visiting Spoon!

Parking: They have a small parking lot and there is plenty of street parking.

I can’t speak for the food here unfortunately, however we were greeted with terrible rudeness while barely on property. We were waiting for our table at Firesign and walking around the area with our children. We’ve been regular visitors to the area since 1990 and discovered this cute restaurant that we wanted to try. They were closed so while I was looking up the menu, my 2 girls and husband were at the edge of their property walking around. They each picked up one pinecone, not realizing they were apparently the restaurant’s decoration, when a man from the restaurant came out and asked them to put the pinecone back (which they did immediately). He then looked at my husband and I and very rudely yelled that he doesn’t want to have to clean up my kids’ mess, basically asking us to leave the property, and then went inside and slammed the door. I am 100% okay with someone asking me kindly to put back pinecones or to be careful, however there was zero “mess” and the way we were spoken to was so unnecessary. Clearly whoever this man was does not like children, and I can’t tell if that is the vibe of this restaurant or not. Nevertheless we will not be dining here in the future.

Ok place., the aguachile was something new., I have never had anything close to it. Don’t know if it was good or bad, but it definitely was not the well know aguachile.

My husband and I had a romantic dinner at Spoon on our recent trip to Tahoe City. I was expecting a good experience because of the numerous high reviews on this platform but the restaurant exceeded those expectations. The food, service, and atmosphere were perfect for a dinner in Tahoe. Outdoor dining under the trees was beautiful. Everything we ordered was wonderful and we really enjoyed speaking with the chef/owner. You can tell the food is made with love and they take pride in what they do. The service was amazing and attentive. Everyone at this establishment was so nice and welcoming. It feels like fine dining in your neighbors home. We purchased a bottle of wine at the market across the street and we wete brought glasses and a wine opener, we loved this as we got the exact wine we wanted without a restaurant markup. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you for an amazing meal.

Delicious food, with kind, attentive service. Love the casual atmosphere, a cabin nestled in the woods. We will definitely be back.

Don't let the simple appearance fool you, this restaurant serves incredible food. They absolutely know what they are doing, have an creative array of dishes with great flavor, and bring their personalities to the table to make the experience fun.Only downside is that there is limited ventilation, and as a result the great aromas stuck to our clothes which was not ideal.
