“Paul and his female colleague were lovely hosts last night - great wine, great food, great location“

“It’s just divine! Everything is perfect, the setting, the books and the exquisite coffee. Bravo Sandra!!!“

“Love this place. In the season, it's a lot of locals and good vibes. Great food when the food trucks are open, good beer, and the staff is super accommodating. Just had a mediocre beer off the tap, and they switched me up to something else that was way Better. Great service and friendly employees, always a good choice. 🍻🍻“

“The pizza was great… the service awesome! Basecamp is always a go-to when in Lake Tahoe!“

“Delicious bagels and coffee. Line was long but didn’t take long to move and worth the small wait“

“If you like history, hell . Even if you don't. You're missing a little piece of the past if you don't make your way to this hidden gem. Prices are right and the "Diamond dust" mirror behind the bar is a story in itself.“

“Consistently outstanding food and generous portions. My family loves this place we'll be back for sure!“

“Great folks to work with. Thank you. We appreciate your support.“

“laid back jovial atmosphere. awesome beer selection California & Nevada. try a flight not a one was disappointing. The shining star was the staff“

“We had a small wedding reception here on August 19. We started in the garden until rain moved in and MacDuffs quickly moved us inside and upstairs. The food and service were excellent. Our waitress was awesome and working with MacDuffs beforehand was great too. We were a party of 18 from Michigan and everyone was very complimentary! Highly recommend!!’“

“Steamers Bar & Grill is amazing! The food is fresh and mouth watering. The atmosphere is super fun with live music, and the owner Heather and staff treated us like family. We had the best time and will definitely return. Highly recommend! 😊👍“

“Friendly staff and great coffee! I recommend lavender!“

“Great vegan and other dishes.“

“Fish and Chips were the best. We split a plate and still had leftovers!“

“This place was way better than I expected! Jason was awesome and the Mac n cheese was killer. The ribs were just alright but the pulled pork sandwich was amazing and so was the pizza. We will definitely be coming back since this was open late and was an overall pleasant experience!“

“Brian and Jill were great to work with!“

“I love the Cork And More! It is a great place to hang out with friends or even on a date! The wines are great. The food is amazing. Five stars from me! There is a gorgeous outdoor garden area to relax in as well.“

“This place is an absolute gem. It's a very local hangout; quaint, friendly, tucked away. I feel lucky to have found it as a non-resident, to be honest! And the beer is really solid!

I'm a brewery fiend. I travel a lot, and everywhere I go I look for the local brewery/breweries. I've tasted some weird stuff, some great stuff, and some just plain bad stuff. Tahoe Brew House makes some of the great stuff.

This won't be your average brewery visit, but it will be well worth your time! And, if you're anything like me, you'll make the time to visit more than once.“

“Cool place to get a ☕️ and a little something for breakfast 👍“

“Love the beer, love the food, and the staff is top notch. My favorite Tahoe spot!“

“💜💜💜 great place to eat!!!!“

“We love this place! Have breakfast every time we are here! Fast and friendly service in a nice little quiet atmosphere.“

“Nice rustic atmosphere and the rooms have a cabin/wilderness feel. Rooms are on the smaller side because it’s a renovated motel but it definitely feels like Tahoe and rustic scenery. Would stay here again!“

“Great local pizza place. We ordered a supreme and cheese pizza and a Caesar salad. We got our order to go and they were fast and the quality of the pizza was good. The lettuce on the Caesar salad was wilted and seemed like it had been sitting in the heat which may have just been us getting it for takeout. The dressing on the salad seemed homemade and we enjoyed it.“

“So dang good! Thank you aloha and J and L for bringing delicious to Tahoe. We loved our ice cream and the amazing service. 🍦❤️💋💋“

“Will start off by saying the food was great! However the hostess was another story. Recwntly had dinner on 8/11/24. The hostess would not let us sit at the table to start ordering drinks because we were missing 2 out of the 8 people in our group. needless to say we already had 6 ready to be seated. once we were seated the table next to us had the umbrella slanted. this caused the table to fly over from a gust of wind shattering a plate and cutting my leg. the stay was kind enough to provided a wipe and some bandaid. We continued our night until the hostess decided to empty water cups from other guest into the flower bed behind us. Which then caused the dirt to splash up on one of our guest white shirts and be covered in mud. A smug sorry was replied out. As stated before the food was terrific and the wait staff was great but the hostess needs to be replaced.“

“This is a fun, family-friendly, dog-friendly place, with an ever-changing selection of fine beers brewed right on site. Seating inside and out.
They have a weekly trivia contest, and sometimes sponsor special events with outside food vendors and various expert artists and craftspeople.“

“Lovely local bar with excellent drinks and wonderful service. Adrian at the bar was outstanding and made me feel right at home visiting as a solo female traveler. Tons of locals and tourists alike, everyone was friendly with a laid back atmosphere and pool tables. The place was very clean, organized and I loved their merchandise. Highly recommend.“

“Great music fun bonfires and lights . I enjoyed the strawberry milkshake beer .“

“Absolutely in love with this restaurant! They are incredibly dog-friendly. We were even able to order a special meal for our pup. The menu has drinks named after the staff’s dogs, which we thought was such a fun touch. The whole place has a cozy, treehouse vibe, and the staff couldn’t have been kinder. They took wonderful care of us and even surprised our dog with free treats.

The food was delicious, the service was lightning fast, and despite being busy, they seated our party of five (plus a dog) immediately without a reservation. I’ll be back every time I’m in town!

A few extra notes: parking is limited, but free street parking is available nearby. Plenty of vegetarian options, and you must try their biscuits!! They’re unforgettable. Highly, highly recommend!“

“Lovely breakfast near the lake off the beaten track.“

“Had a great experience. Nick the bartender was great. Friendly, polite and attentive. Would definitely return.“

“Great food, service and restaurant.“

“My husband and I *landed* at The Landing on the last week of May 2025, out of complete happenstance! We started out our honeymoon at The Post Marc Hotel, after seeing 4-5 rooms, each in worse condition than the last, we kindly requested a refund and left. We had no idea what to do, our honeymoon was off to a rocky start, but little did we know The Landing had us covered! We saw they had good reviews and decided to walk inside and see what it was like! We were immediately greeted by incredibly warm and outgoing staff members Charles and Serafina! They listened to our story, empathized with us, and were able to get us an amazing deal on a room! They let us walk around and take a look at it before we purchased which was much appreciated and helped in our decision making! And Charles even made sure we had a complimentary bottle of Chardonnay to “help start the honeymoon out right”, I mean what a sweetheart, so thoughtful and kind! Charles and Serafina truly made MAGIC happen for us and we could not be more grateful to them. They are the reason we had a wonderful honeymoon and we are just so thankful. After getting us situated in a fabulous room with: heated floors, heated toilet seats, jet tub, dual shower, fireplace and patio complete with mountain & lake views, we were told all about, all the perks of staying at The Landing! They have a shuttle that can take you or pick up anywhere in the local area, they had a lovely heated pool and spacious jetted spa, and we were given free beach passes to a private section of the beach! Everything was wonderful! Stephanie & Mel at the front desk checked on us each morning to see how our stay was going! From the quick and attentive housekeeping, to Kevin the wonderful conversationalist bell hop & shuttle driver, to server Aaron’s 5 star room service from Jimmy’s restaurant, even down to the little coffee kiosk in the lobby loving filled with hot chocolates, apple ciders and toppings—everything was perfect!!! And everyone made sure our experience was top notch, the hospitality was unmatched! We had such a nice time that now we won’t stay anywhere else in Tahoe, this is our new go to spot! If you have absolutely any hesitation about booking with The Landing—DON’T! When you’re at The Landing, you are truly in safe hands, with a warm and attentive staff that genuinely cares about your time there. Thank you to everyone at The Landing for providing the most incredible honeymoon experience! We will definitely be back! We were so thrilled with our stay we’re looking at coming back in November 2025 for my birthday! In a word—PHENOMENAL. 15/10“

“Finally tried Elements today! It was absolutely delicious. The tamales were super good. The elote was sooooo good! And the tres leches cake topped with a strawberry was soooooo yummy!! Also love that they offer NA beers 💯💯 I also met Drew, the owner, and he was extremely nice. Will definitely go again!“

“But guys, take it easy on the salt. We have had several good meals but got delivery last night and it was way way too salty. First time I have ever had that issue.“

“Always satisfied when my Family comes here!“

“Great spot inside the BaseCamp. The people are fantastic!“

“Just love their burgers and sauces and buy two great people I recommend 10 out of 10“

“Food is fine but nothing special. Service, drinks and atmosphere are very good! Pizzas are disappointing but the white pizza is definitely the best one and imo the only one worth the price. Sandwiches are good. The side salads are really good. Everything carries the "Tahoe tax" aka overpriced. Love the vibes and we come here often just to eat around the fire pits“

“I'm a big gelato fan, especially hazelnut flavor. they have a good one here :)“

“I love their happy hour with so many delicious food choices.“

“This is my green tea boba place in SLT!!“
