“We celebrated our anniversary at Restaurant Trokay and had an incredible evening.

John and Nyna Weatherson, along with their entire team, created a truly special experience from start to finish. We enjoyed the four-course prix fixe menu with the wine pairing, and every course was outstanding. The food was creative, beautifully presented, and most importantly, absolutely delicious. The wine pairings were spot on and really complemented each dish.

What stood out just as much as the food was the hospitality. Everyone made us feel welcome, and the personalized anniversary touches were greatly appreciated.

Truckee is fortunate to have a restaurant of this caliber. If you’re looking for a memorable dinner, special occasion, or just an amazing meal, Trokay is worth every penny.

Thank you, John, Nyna, and the entire Trokay team for a fantastic evening. We’ll definitely be back.“

“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.“

“I’ve been here a couple of times and it’s a decent mountain pizza, but this time was phenomenal because of Sophie!!! She was the most fun and attentive server I’ve had here in the mountains in a long time! We had such a great time and she took genuine care of us. We will be back to sit in Sophie’s section on our next trip up! Thanks again, Sophie !!!“

“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.“

“The best part of this restaurant is it's environment and it's dog friendliness. We always go with Ares our JRT and you often see other dogs, on the patio. Food is good too, but I actually like my own cooking of quality meat in general.“

“We visited a few years ago, in 2018 and bought several bottles of Red Barn Red. Tonight 2/15/2025, I opened our last bottle. It held its color and flavor. We are really enjoying this lovely wine. I think it's time to visit Truckee, again. Cheers!“

“Great pizza and fun beer selections. Service was good, waitstaff very friendly.“

“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!“

“Food is delicious and service is great. One of our Favorite stops“

“Our favorite place for sushi and girls outings, love the atmosphere, the food and friendly staff.“

“After a bite at the Cafe, great food & staff, we hiked to the Aspen Grove. The colors have just changed and it was glorious. Short hike into the woods with all of Mother Nature’s fall palette in full view. By the time you read this the leaves will have fallen, but you should still go by Alder Creek Adventure Center ASAP!“

“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.“

“Don't let the casual name fool you—Truckee Tavern and Grill completely blew us away. I walked in thinking it was just another local grill, but the food is absolute high-end restaurant quality. Every single dish was incredibly fresh, exceptionally tasty, and the flavors were perfectly paired together.
​The vibe is wonderfully casual and comfortable, making the outstanding quality of the food an incredibly pleasant surprise. On top of that, the service was excellent from start to finish—we felt genuinely welcomed from the moment we walked through the door, and our server was fantastic. We can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu!“

“Great service! We were able to sit in the dining room near the fireplace. My favorite ! It set the stage for a night of lovely ambiance and great food! We had lovely Cocktails served promptly. We omitted appetizers. Hubby had the steak and frites and a salad. All was excellent . I started with a cup of the Greek Lemon soup. Delicious! This was followed by the Thai Shrimp. Sooooo yummy! Spicy and so full of flavor! I had to share with Hubby and he loved it too. It was a very generous portion. We shared the sorbet selection which was a refreshing end to a lovely date night at the Lodge! Thanks to all our servers and staff. Our compliments to the Chef and his crew!“

“I loved this place! It was really neat to go inside and take a look around. We ate outside, which was perfect for this weather. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. I got the peach salad with grilled chicken, which tasted delicious! The portions were a little smaller than I would have liked for the price, but it was a great portion for a smaller lunch salad. Would definitely recommend going there, especially eating outside and absorbing the atmosphere.“

“WOW Summit y’all knock it out of the park not one but two nights in a row!!! Food, drinks, service and atmosphere all spot on!!! Keep it up Summit we needed a great smokehouse in the area and here it is“

“Quick, friendly service! The chili hit the spot.“

“The staffs are friendly. There is a lunch special menu that offers a lot of spicy and non-spicy dishes. I saw other customers’ plates and there appeared to be a lot of food with the lunch special. We opted to select individual entrees: War Wonton Soup, Kung Pao Chicken and extra spicy Beef Chow Fun. The beef chow fun and the kung pao chicken had the “wok hey”. We will definitely come back next time when we are in Truckee.“

“Known the whole staff & owners for years! Top notch all the way! Creative amazing food!“

“Not the same since Caesar passed but still the best Mexican food in Truckee. Love it for its off the beaten path location. While other places in downtown Truckee get swamped, this place can stay less crowded on the shoulder of peak busy hours.“

“The best cashew chicken & brown rice. I had a great experience with the service even though only 1 person was serving the whole restaurant at lunch. Delicious. I would definitely come back especially for takeout. Casual environment (not fancy), really good food. My companion says the Thai tea was excellent!“
