“We came with a group of 15 for a bachelorette party and had the best time. The vibes were fantastic, the service was great, and both the drinks and food were delicious. The food was also very reasonably priced, which makes us excited to come back. This might just be my new go-to spot.“

I also found pricing to be on par with quality. Definitely recommend!“

“Love this place, always a fun local spot for a casual brunch or dinner. Very diverse and reasonably priced menu with well executed dishes - I especially love their gyro sandwich. The back patio is a secret garden hidden gem in Incline.

We had our Friday drinks reception for our wedding at Crosby’s and Russ and the staff were so easygoing and helpful in setting up the event. They reserved their beautiful back patio area for us and we got multiple compliments from guests on the quality of food, ambiance, and friendly staff. Will definitely come back.“

“Osteria Sierra was absolutely outstanding and made our 20th anniversary dinner feel incredibly special. The entire experience was worthy of five stars from start to finish. I had the lobster linguine, and it was exceptional—perfectly cooked, rich, and full of flavor. My wife had the shrimp and pancetta, and it was just as impressive, with a perfect balance of savory flavor and freshness. We started with the artichoke appetizer, and it was phenomenal—an unforgettable dish and the perfect way to begin the evening. Everything about the meal felt elevated, thoughtful, and memorable. We couldn’t have chosen a better place to celebrate such a meaningful occasion.“

“The food is a little pricey, but very good! I got the pastrami sandwich. The music doesn’t match the vibe of a tap house at all. Also the service method is fast food design. You order and pay and take a number. Overall would get takeout for the food, but not enjoy in house again.“

“Gonzalo truly set the tone for an exceptional experience at the Living Room Lodge (LRL) at The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe. Warm, friendly, and incredibly attentive, he made us feel genuinely cared for, from start to finish. His hospitality felt effortless and heartfelt — and the heavenly vanilla latte he crafted came with a smile that made it even more special. Gonzalo is a true gem and a shining example of Ritz-Carlton’s world-class service & hospitality.

We were seated in a beautiful spot with stunning views of the Northstar ski slopes on a bright, sunny day. The experience was elevated by sitting behind a subtle tinted glass that softened the harshness of the sun while still letting in all the light and scenery — the perfect balance. Surrounded by towering Sierra Nevada pines, the setting felt serene, cozy, and quintessentially Tahoe.

We started with a vanilla latte that was nothing short of magical — it truly felt like a warm embrace in a cup. Smooth, comforting, and crafted to perfection.

The meat burger was perfectly done — juicy, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. My son absolutely loved the chocolate and strawberry ice cream, which was a delightful treat.

Dessert was the grand finale: the salted caramel lotus with vanilla sponge cake, caramel glaze, and cacao nib streusel was an absolute masterpiece. Each bite delivered a beautiful harmony of textures, flavors & suspense; indulgent yet refined.

An unforgettable experience that blends breathtaking views, outstanding food, and truly genuine hospitality.“
