“The Sawyer is a lively and fun place to dine. Service is excellent. We had the beef stroganoff, portobello mushroom on brioche bun, cheesy loaf were all made to perfection. Yum! Special shout out to the cheesy loaf— we would go back just for that. It is that good! While the room was full of energy, the entire experience was relaxing and we got to enjoy our meal and have nice conversation. Our server did a great job! And we were never rushed. We had a wonderful night. We will be back!“

“We sat on the porch with beautiful weather. Inside vibe is really cool also!
We had the mushroom tortelli and it was amazing. Savory but light. We are from bourbon country (KY) and had an old fashioned that was incredible! Owner was present greeting tables and so personable. Definitely recommend!“

“This is a good place to stop and have lunch during your Northstar ski experience. However, I can't give it five stars because the prices are at least double the normal cost. That applies to everything sold here. Options for vegan or vegetarian guests are very limited. All that aside, it's a nice ski lodge, and the food is fine if you like burgers, fries, pizza, chicken tenders, etc. Lines are usually short, and the staff is friendly and helpful. It is clean and tidy.“

“The service meets what you'd expect from Ritz. We celebrated our anniversary and received complimentary desserts and that was a nice touch. A little pricey but the food was very delicious . It would be nice to have 1-2 more main entrees. We definitely would recommend it!“

“I ate there and the burger and onion rings I had were awesome!“

“Great place rode the gondola up from North Star village. Our server Max was amazing! Food was great, atmosphere amazing. Definitely good place after a long day of skiing kids loved it too. Drinks were amazing too. Don’t let the negative reviews scare you off. Definitely come here and enjoy good food, drinks and atmosphere. It’s pricy but it’s the Ritz sooooooo.

Kid-friendliness: My kids loved it. They also know how to behave in a nice restaurant.“

“A must stop when in Truckee!!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Staff was friendly and able to pivot quickly when a small meetup changed to a larger gathering.“

“This is my favorite restaurant in California. I’ve had there tasting menus twice, and each time it was a new, miraculous experience. Their food is exquisite, the service is nice, and the ambiance is as expected. It’s a hidden gem in truckee and if you have the time and money I’d highly recommend it. It is worth the price, without a doubt. I had a pine ice dish about 2 years ago as one of the dessert courses and it was like eating the best blue bird powder day ever, with a hint of cozy cabin glow.“

“Big kudos to Northstar and Zephyr Lodge! You're leading the way in reducing single-use plastic. I was so impressed to see that Zephyr Lodge has eliminated them. It's a fantastic example of how ski resorts can make a difference in protecting our precious mountain ecosystems. This makes me even happier to bring my family to Northstar.“

“I don’t understand the lower ratings for this place. We had a great experience. Service was attentive and they were able to accommodate a special request. Menu had lots to offer and the food was delicious. Unlike some other restaurants at the resort, portions were generous. And Tipsy Tuesday offers 2 for 1 wine by the glass with generous pours. Please give them a try. You won’t be sorry!“

“Great classic sports bar with tons of space. Drinks are well priced. Only had the wings but they were very good. The Truckee Style (teriyaki AND buffalo mixed, not half and half) were much better than I expected. Rest of the food looked good too.“

“I got the 1/2 tritip plate with coleslaw and rice with tortillas. Very tasty and fills you up. My daughter got the 1/2 chicken (which is literally half of a chicken) with coleslaw and rice with garlic bread and she brought half home. it was all tasty.“

“Stopped in for a birthday lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Guy Ferrari has eaten here before and it was featured on his show Diners, Drive in’s and Dives! I had the real crab grilled cheese and the bison chili and it was a great combo.“

“We sat on the deck and had a delightful dinner. The food continues to be outstanding and the service is great! Michael the new manager is extremely personable and makes a point to walk around and check in on the guests. I love their Caesar salad, fish tacos and fish special. The kids menu is also good and the dessert selection yummy. Give it a try.“
