Really great food... New food menu a little pricey for non members... Wine prices really fair...
One of our favorite places in Truckee, both summer and winter. Very comfortable inside and outside, and always a nice atmosphere. They also have a really impressive wine selection, including some bottles that are not easy to find.
And definitely save room for the cookie skillet with ice cream! We get it almost every time and it’s worth it :)
Always happy to come back.

The Sawyer at Schaffer's Mill offers delicious food and a notable wine list, accompanied by attentive service. The shortribs remain a must-try, cooked to perfection with rich flavor and tender meat. The patio seating enhances the experience, providing a lovely atmosphere, especially during the summer. The restaurant is lively and fun, with excellent service that allows guests to enjoy their meals without feeling rushed. Many recent diners have praised dishes like the beef stroganoff, portobello mushroom on a brioche bun, and the cheesy loaf, which is highly recommended.
While some customers noted that the scallops were a bit too salty, the overall dining experience has been relaxing, allowing for nice conversation. However, there have been some concerns about the timing of food delivery, where entrees sometimes arrive before appetizers are finished. The fixed menu on busy days may also affect food quality. Staff members are friendly, and one server even went above and beyond to accommodate a guest's dietary needs, showcasing a great attitude and commitment to customer service. Overall, the setting of The Sawyer is spectacular, making it a desirable spot for both special occasions and casual dining.
