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.

My entire group agreed: this place is legit. It's a higher-end restaurant than your average spot, but the experience justifies it, because not only was the service all you could ask for in that tiny cabin, every dish we got was a hit. We did listen to them turn down more people over the phone than there were tables, so plan ahead during ski season! What we got: Poached pear Mac - Somehow balanced the flavors perfectly! Mac and cheese isn't my favorite dish yet it was impressive. Soup - Served with a little bread so everyone got to try. Rich. Linguini and meatballs - Certainly done right. Nothing too crazy. Scallops and asparagus - Wow! Huge standout dish, and was super impressed by the intense flavor of the sauce. Appreciate how the meat was juicy with a good crust. Million dollar slice - Super intense flavors, very sweet. My favorite. Banana cheesecake - More subdued for a cheesecake; my girlfriend's favorite. Dark chocolate truffles - Tasty and shockingly healthy, we later learned. We really couldn't hide our glee when co-owner JC came over to chat and tell us the story of the restaurant. What a night!

Phenomenal restaurant and insane value for the quality of food that you get! We came with a fairly large group (5 people) and this is a small space, super cozy on the inside and it felt like being in someone's house or bedroom. Really inviting and warm feeling. It's BYOB which is nice for those who indulge, and no cork fee which is quite generous. The food was bomb. Can't go wrong with any of the options. My favorites were the chicken thigh with beans, as well as the scallops (delicious and juicy). Had the millionaire's dessert which is a do not miss. My friends who don't have quite the sweet tooth that I have were turned on this and glad that I pressured them to get this. Highly recommend if you're in the Tahoe area!

OMG the best food we had near Palisades. Get a res it's a tiiiiny spot. The food is infused with care and goodness. Matcha tea cake with cream cheese frosting so good. MANY HEARTS

The food was incredible. The service made me want to hang out and chat all night. And the small house vibe was so cute. I felt like I was eating the best meal I've ever had at my beloved aunt's house.

The food is just right, with delightful flavors and perfectly cooked textures, yet the restaurant feels cozy and unpretentious.I think the food is much more thoughtfully crafted than “fancy” spots further in to Tahoe City (caveat: I have only tried one fancy spot further in Tahoe City) - you can tell there is some creativity and joy going into it here.Every dish we tried was even better than expected with the flavors. We mostly had specials (seafood stew - shrimp/octopus/snapper in a light broth with slight chili kick, roasted asparagus beet gorgonzola salad with curried pomelo vinaigrette, fig and walnut blondie with caramel and whipped cream) plus the tofu and greens.Can’t wait to return and part of me wants to keep the place a secret!!!

Oh my god! I would eat here everyday if I could. The food is great - some of the best I've eaten but what makes it even better is the host and the entire team. Cozy adorable and with the most adorable team serving you. You feel right at home and want to come back for more. All the fuzzy feelings at this hidden gem The salad the soup the mains - everything was a hit!

10/10 would recommend. My husband is often hesitant to try “fancy” food, he wants to try the food but is uncomfortable in the “fine dining” environment, but the owners of spoon have made such welcoming space - my husband loved it and kept going on about how good the food was. The owners were both working and we could hear the staff chat in the kitchen as they worked, it was obvious everyone wanted to be there and it added to the environment. Food was not complicated for complexities sake but each dish had delicious textures and flavor combos. Will be back next time we are in town.
