The food is always very fresh and full of flavor. The portions are great and the price is very reasonable considering its premium inside the Ritz. We love the overall warm, comfortable feel and ambiance of the dining room. Multiple beautiful fire places and a few different seating options for small or larger parties. A great place to bring the kids as well. I highly recommend giving Manzanita a try next time you’re in the area. You are sure to be impressed.“

Trokay

Trokay Fine Dining
10046 Donner Pass Rd #2, Truckee

“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.“

“I was searching for food that was not crowded, admittedly I was overwhelmed by the weekenders that flock from all over cities that were crammed in the shopping district. I spotted a church building with a small sign that said, cafe open, as I was making my way out of town with haste. Alas, I found exactly what I needed. Score, big time. It is a beautiful, tranquil space, and the sandwich I had, Ban mi (add turkey)...beyond exquisite. The lavender drink concoction was eloquent and refreshing. Go here for a zen delicious af meal and very nice service.“

“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.“

I had a lavender mock tail and my partner s ginger mock tail. Both were so good. We shared a beet salad,that had shaved beets and macadamia nuts. It was a great way to start our meal. The halibut was excellent. It sat on a carrot purée, accompanied by pickled onions, and baby potatoes. Overall a great experience and meal.“

“We were in Truckee for the day and wanted something different. This was the perfect place! Outdoor dining was amazing balls! Comfy setting, like your own outside patio. The food was exactly what we wanted! A watermelon non alcoholic spritz was so refreshing. Not sweet but more blended fruity mix. A hot tasty sandwich, perfectly crispy sweet potato fries and that day.. a velvety French onion soup. It was a different type of bread, bunch of spices and big slice of the cheese! So much cooked onions and a broth that tasted like it was cooked for hours, to get a deep rich beef taste. Staff was so friendly and nice. Will be going back to try their pizzas and salads!“

Despite coming in so late they were courteous, quick and fed us excellent food that was incredibly fresh and delicious. They didn't rush us or make us feel guilty and we were done by closing. Some of the best Thai food I have eaten and if I was local this would be a frequent repeat.

“What can I say, it's a solid, unpretentious, run of the mill Chinese joint. Been eating here for years. Consistently satisfactory. If you're looking for fine dining, you're in the wrong place, but it's a big step up from Panda.

I particularly like the orange chicken and sesame chicken. Their house chow mein and pot stickers are great also.

Service and atmosphere are a little rough around the edges, but this place has been a staple since back when Truckee was also a little rough around the edges.

Happy they're still here, but I wish there were still fish in the fish tank!“
