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.

Prix Fixe Menu Review
Hands down the favorite dish of the night were the Nantucket Bay Scallops. Everything on the plate worked together. It was fantastic.
Many times you go through a meal with multiple courses and you have one or two that just fall short. The winter 2025 Prix Fixe did not have a miss for us. Each plate was delicious and well prepared. Zero negative comments for this meal.
The service was excellent and everyone was friendly. It kept the atmosphere from being too stuffy, but still felt very professional.

Overall a really enjoyable meal. Had the 4 course and got to try most of the dishes sharing with my partner. Some really interesting flavors and standout dishes. The canapes, salad, and scallops were particularly tasty with great flavor and balance.
However, a few of the dishes ended up feeling a little bit heavy/salty like the cauliflower soup, the soba sauce, and the short rib that was paired with the steak had a sauce that was almost gluey. The chocolate dessert had a great flavor but was too sweet. Similar with the coconut macaron, delicious but too sweet.
The small caviar addition had delicious components, but the brioche was too thick and not toasted enough so the bite was overpowered by the bread.
Wine pairings were solid in general, however the somm and one of the servers always felt like they were in a rush to get away from the table and made me feel a bit rushed during those interactions.
Even with those nits I had a great time in a beautiful space and great food. I'd definitely come back again if I'm looking for fine dining in Tahoe.

Literally the best dinner I’ve ever had. Lived in Truckee for years and have always wanted to go here, finally went for Valentine’s Day and had an amazing experience. Every bite was perfectly balanced and service was so friendly and not pretentious. Expensive but SO worth it! Seriously better than any Michelin star restaurant I’ve been to.

Excellent dinner, with memorable wine pairings. The variety of flavors made a memorable night.

The best high-end restaurant in Truckee. Every time we go, we are treated to an amazing culinary and dining experience. Extremely accommodating to dietary restrictions and allergies.

Expect to go for another dinner after eating here. The plate size is ridiculously small.

I went here some time ago with a few friends. We ordered the prix fixe (you kind of have to commit to that or the "chef's tasting menu" as a table), and I had the vegetarian option.
Totally props for the over-the-top fine dining experience, impeccable service, inventive molecular gastronomy, offering a vegetarian option and all of that. No failures there. But the ridiculous pricing gave me high expectations for the food. What I saw was that the various veggie dishes were all constructed from the omnivirous dishes my friends had, but with the meat left out. Nothing was ever added in or substituted. No veggie dishes that were their own thing. It kind of felt to me like the veg options were an afterthought for such an expensive, fancy place.
This review is from some time ago, and the menu does change seasonally, so things may be different. Right now it looks like they have house-made tofu on the menu, and the veggie options seem to be on the regular menu these days, rather than on a separate one, so I might give Trokay a try again when I'm in the mood for the most expensive place in town.

Exceptional! We made reservations for my boyfriend’s birthday. We got the price fixe menu and the wine pairings. Every single dish was fantastic and we learned a ton about the wine we were tasting.Wine pairing = 2.5-3 glasses of wine matched with the courses you choose. I wish there would have been more California wines on the menu (I’m biased!) but the wine did not disappoint.Price fixe menu = four choices with two special treats from the chef. Exceptional flavors and presentation.There were at least five different wait staff we interacted with, and the host, all lovely and helpful.Total cost of the meal including tip and tax came to $635.00 for the two of us. We spent about 2.5 hours dining at Trokay and most of the next day talking about it. Highly recommend for a special occasion.
