This place is always amazing with the views of the Sparks Marina and if you catch it in time, some of the greatest sunset views! Food was awesome. I ordered the filet burger and was going to save half the burger for lunch the next day but couldn't help myself! It was devoured. Spouse got the teriyaki salmon salad and said it was yummy. Don't forget to experience the "Wet Woody" best blended cocktail in town! Service was grand per the usual.

After 2 years, I decided to give this place another try. The service and food was much better this time around, but overpriced for what we ordered. I know prices have gone up everywhere, but for the cost I'd rather go somewhere else. The wet woody is good, but not for the $18 or so for each one.

The food is great, never a bad meal. The manager is the nicest guy in the world. His name is JT. You will feel like you're at home when you're here. The bartenders Keegan and Alex will make feel like you're at a 5 star hotel. If you're not here, you're missing out.

Love this place. Doesn’t miss, come as you are, amazing menu, food quality, service and the Marina views from every table can’t be beat. Date night must.
Tucked away in a little corner. Is this very nice elegant restaurant! I was told to go try this place, so I made reservations for our anniversary. We walked in and were greeted right away, we were early so they said it would be a few minutes. We took a seat at the bar to quench our thirst, the bartender was very fast with our drink order, our table was ready! We went to the back were we could look out at the sparks marina but yet see the cooks making food, this place was packed for Christmas party's and still wasn't that noisy. Very quiet and relaxing. I ordered Dungeness Crab Cakes & for an appetizer and those were right on Que. while for dinner Whiskey Rib Eye Char-grilled certified Angus / Bulleit bourbon peppercorn sauce / garlic mashed potatoes / herb roasted vegetables / buttermilk fried shallots & Shrimp & Lobster Bisque and the wife ordered House Salad fresh spring greens / roasted red pepper vinaigrette / feta / sugar crisp walnuts with steak in it. The service just rocked, never was out a water or a drink, waitress was always asking how we were! The manger actually came by and asked how everything was. The ribeye was cooked to perfection of med rare, it couldn't get any better. To top it off for awesome food, great service and relaxing place the bill wasn't over priced. This is a great place and we will be coming back more often. Thank you team water bar for such great service.

Pretty cool atmosphere, but too pricey for what you get. It's a Tahoe based business, and they brought the Tahoe prices with them.

Made a reservation for two the day before for6:30pm. We were greeted by staff and waited about5-10 minutes before we were seated. They were quite busy and taken to the second floor. Our server got our drinks and gave us time to look through the menu. Most places given bread, but here they give pretzel sticks with a thing of butter. The pretzels were kind of salty and I would have preferred bread.We ordered the following:Beer battered coconut prawns: this appetizer came with 4 pieces of shrimp laying on a sauce that reminded me of sweet chili sauce. There was also 2 slices of grilled pineapple. 5/5Teriyaki Salmon Salad: came in a big bowl with slices of bell peppers, cucumbers, arugula, red onions, tangerines, and wonton chips with 2 pieces of salmon on top. I wish there was less arugula and more of the other things. But it was good! 5/5Filet and Scampi: it does not come with pasta. It has 3 pieces of shrimp, asparagus and a filet. Both were cooked nicely. 5/5We came a day before Valentine's Day and the interior had a lot of Valentine's Day decor. The lighting is too dark in my option. There are TVs throughout. If you are seated on the first floor, it is an open kitchen. There is a bar on both floors. There is also outdoor seating with a great view of the Sparks Marina, but it was quite cold outside currently. I have been here two other times and has sat outside where they have an outdoor bar. Our server was exceptionally because she was always checking on us and our food came out in a timely mannerly. Definitely would recommend the Sparks Marina!

Meh food but I’m spoilt as I live in nycBut stunning
I really like it, but so very loud and crowded always. That is a good thing because people like it. The service is solid. The location is nice. The food is good, not great.

We were Seated at an elegant table near the window adorned with flickering candlelight and fragrant blooms, greeted by the gentle hum of the surrounding lake, punctuated only by the occasional rustle of wind through trees. The ambiance was serene, a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of our busy life. But it was the culinary delights that truly stole the show. Each dish was a masterpiece a personal favorite was the korean bbq short rib tacos! From the succulent grilled seafood to the tender cuts of prime rib, every bite was a revelation, a testament to the skill and creativity of chef Tony Salazar This is the go to date spot for any couple wishing to create a romantic evening.

Love happy hour and the bottomless Woodys! Still the best eggs Benedict I have had.. the crab cakes are a must try! I will say I have had the best experience with their brunch menu!

If you're looking for a great date night restaurant, with an excellent menu, this is it! A treasure of cocktails, including the original Trader Vic's mai tai, a sizeable wine selection , a variety of prime steaks, prime rib and filet mignon, seafood, salads and one of the largest and hottest French onion soup I've ever had! I had the coconut shrimp, which was fabulous! Listed as an appetizer, the 5 large shrimp was enough to qualify as an entree. A very upscale place with service and prices to match, you won't be disappointed. Reservations are suggested, especially if you want a window view of the marina!

Great food. Nice ambience. Little expensive however. And the service is also really great.
Their patio is not dog friendly!
