“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.”

“Thank you staff and owners for getting it right. Four of us picky eaters LOVED it! Simply great. One of the best casual spots in Tahoe. You'll probably expand, we hope you'll stay close.”

“Great spot to grab a coffee, gelato or snack on the West Shore.”

“Every little detail of Sylva is planned to perfection! The food is exceptionally delicious, with really creative flavors. The service also- so on it, so knowledgeable and genuinely enjoyable. This is our new favorite!!! A total culinary gem! 💎”

“6 of us had a superb meal. The server was attentive, but forgot to mention the rolls had powdered garlic after I had told him I had a intolerance of Powdered and dried garlic.. I ordered the Lobster ravioli, which was an appetizer, for my dinner and a dinner sized portion was served. It was delicious and I devoured the whole dinner. Will come again when we are in the are.”

“Phenomenal food, service, ambience and atmosphere. The menu changes and my favorite is the Tasting Menu. It is divine and I always feel like royalty when I go. 🍽️🧑🏽‍🍳👑🌊🌲”

“This was the most delicious and beautiful vegetarian restaurant meal we have ever had!! Compliments to the entire staff. We will definitely be back!!”

“This review is for those looking for real Chinese food, especially if you are native Chinese or Chinese origin or foodie with real Chinese experience. In small towns, almost all Chinese restaurant owners have to dumb down to suit “American Chinese” taste which is a refined version of what is called the Panda Express crowd. If you enjoy that kind of food, please don’t read any further. If you understand real Chinese cuisine, then this cook is a genuine Cantonese cuisine cook. We asked whether they could make a special order of congee, and they agreed! They said it would take 2-4 hours to cook. It was worth the wait to order for the next meal. Any Chinese can make congee, but their congee was special as it brought a taste of Guanzhou and recollectionsoo of food in Guanzhou and Hong Kong. Thanks for the totally unexpected experience in Lake Tahoe of all places!”

“Food and service is really great here. Highly recommend!!”

“The food was delicious! The coffee was amazing. And the service was excellent!!”

“Let me first begin by saying the waitstaff is incredibly kind, attentive, and friendly. Furthermore, the atmosphere—outside in particular—is just lovely, especially when they have live music; it’s set amidst the Truckee River with heat lamps and a fire pit to keep you toasty and this gem is easily accessible from a bike path no less. Should you order the Strawberry Shortcake, it is enormous and delicious. For these reasons alone, the River Grill should receive 5 stars. The reasons it does not, though they won’t dissuade me from returning, are to follow. I ordered the Grape Martini—unique, intriguing, and my waitstaff gave it a good name. It was good I must say, but it, as one could expect but at the same time not really think to, tastes exactly like grape juice. I did initially have to send it back because it came garnished with cranberries (of which I am allergic) instead of frozen grapes as advertised. You could imagine my chuckle when I watched my waiter, from afar at my table, present it to the hostess and I watched her fish one of the cranberries out of the drink, plop it in her mouth, and hurry away disgusted. They remade my drink which was kind of them but it did take acquiring the taste to not think of Arthur on a Juicy Juice carton. For dinner I ordered the Beef Tenderloin—the asparagus was amazing, the whipped (mashed) potatoes were yummy especially with the Demi Glaze, and the beef itself was good but more on the medium-well side when ordered medium which is kind of getting into semantics I know, however, it was a little dry. I also ordered the Truckee Sourdough but it never came despite being charged for it until brought to attention. For a 20-something who doesn’t have $100 to spend on a fancy dinner often, this combination can feel a little disappointing. Should I have the opportunity to, I would come back to River Grill because it, overall, was a lovely evening.”

“One of the best restaurants I’ve ever experienced! The staff were amazing too!! Definitely tell all my friends that travel to Tahoe that this is a must try!!”

“We ordered the Rocker Burger with a side of salad and it was so good! Our burger was delicious, but what really made our experience special was the amazing service from our server, Azure. She was so friendly, attentive, and welcoming. She made sure everything was perfect and made us feel very comfortable. Thank you, Azure, for such wonderful service!”

“Grabbed a breakfast bagel and some boozy coffee before all the shops opened up in the area. Cool little bar area, great service, drop by if your in the area. Menu looked great.”

“Best food we’ve eaten in Tahoe area. It’s a lil cafe inside a lil grocery store. We stopped in for lunch on a bike ride. The Thai udon soup and chocolate chip cookies are my favs so far. The salads in the fridge and homemade bread look amazing. Really sweet, helpful service. We ate outside at shaded tables. Will def be back.”

“This restaurant is fantastic! Lukas was one of the best servers I have come across. They have unique and flavorful twists on traditional Scandinavian dishes. And the manager Jeff sources local foods. The ahi appetizer in cones was a recommendation from Jeff and did not disappoint. Our Schnitzel was fabulous and so was the elk pot pie. It was quiet at the time we happened to be there so we got to chat a bit. We learned that the owner’s daughter is the pastry chef so we had to try the cheesecake. Also delicious. It was just a great dining experience.”

“5 Stars. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ My family and I just returned from a trip to Camp Richardson. We had such a great time. Beautiful this time of year. The staff was super accommodating, they went above and beyond to ensure we had a fabulous stay filled with so many memories! We will definitely be going back this summer.”

“Morelos Tacos catered a dinner for a lage group while I was in Tahoe for a bachelorette party and it was so awesome. Amazing service, they were great to work with, and the food was amazing!”

“One of the most friendly restaurant staff I have ever encountered. Made sure we were taken care of the entire way. I even think my daughter had a little crush on our server Danny 😂 ohh and the pizza was great too!”

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