“The food was amazing! Beer was cold. The service was top notch. Hope to visit again this week before leaving for home.“

“Quiero aprovechar para recomendarles este excelente restaurante donde la calidad de la comida es muy buena así como el sazón el personal es muy amable y con precios Super justos así que cuando tenga la oportunidad vengan a disfrutar de un buen desayuno una buena comida y también en echarse un buen tequila“

“Empanash is literally a hidden gem. Google maps took me to the parking lot nearby and there is no large signage for the place so it took a minute to locate it nestled in a little alley between other shops, but its cant-miss dining! I ordered all the vegetarian empanadas and also the Cinner Sweet desert empanada. They were all incredible and delicious! The staff was so friendly and genuine, I could tell they really enjoyed creating such delicious meals to share with others. Will be going back here for sure on future Tahoe visits!“

“Fanatic food and service. Large quality portions as well.“

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

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

“We went here for breakfast and already had a long line before our side. Luckily upon having the counter bar side available, we took that side so that we don’t have to wait for another long time.

Eggs Benedict 19.50
Omelette with Ham and Cheese 18.00
Coffee 6. 50
Overall with Tips $57.41

We thought the host of the cafe was attentive and friendly alongside Francis - she’s a very warm, attentive, and loving lady who also recommended us to try their special Eggs Benedict.

The Waitress took our order for us starting with coffee, Eggs Benedict, and Omelette with Ham and Cheese. Each meal served with hash browns, and mine came with an English muffin too.

We waited probably around 10-12mins, the Eggs Benedict came a bit later but not that much different from a wait.

What we loved about their breakfast, both weren’t too overpowering with flavours. And that we can simply add condiments when we want to.

The only downside was the coffee no kick of strong, bold and good flavour and aroma from the coffee - we felt just drinking flavoured drink. Also the ambience which can be a bit noisy around, especially, we came during the peak hours.

We want to give compliments to the staff, the cooks, and the overall service. We’re very pleased with the food. And special mention to Francis, her enthusiasm and energetic presence added value to the Red Hut Cafe.

Happy to come back and recommend 🤗“

“6 of us had a superb meal. The server was attentive, but forgot to mention the rolls had powdered garlic after I had told him I had a intolerance of Powdered and dried garlic.. I ordered the Lobster ravioli, which was an appetizer, for my dinner and a dinner sized portion was served. It was delicious and I devoured the whole dinner. Will come again when we are in the are.“

“I ate there and the burger and onion rings I had were awesome!“

“Every time we’re in Lake Tahoe we don’t leave without enjoying their Sushi 🍣“

“Excellent breakfast and service!! We ate here every morning on our vacation!! Every single staff member was on point the entire time! From the time we walked in, until we were done, everyone was very attentive and friendly. We talked about the service every day. The food was absolutely wonderful and if we’re ever back in the area we will most definitely be back at Ernie’s again!!“

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

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

“Food is very good. Service was great - Nicole D is charming and efficient! We will be back (again)!“

“Wonderful food, great service! Creative menu options and nice comfortable ambiance“

“We loved our cookie sandwiches! Delicious and was fun to create.“

“Great breakfast/brunch spot in comparison to alternatives. Small and intimate restaurant with an additional cozy back dining room, located inside a boutique hotel. Elevated food options with shor rib beni the best option for my taste. The avocado toast and smoked salmon is assembled differently than normal but tasted great. The spice pear french toast was also a good option. Good coffee. The only challenge was getting a table as the host seemed a bit green to be hosting a busy service. But regardless a great experience.“

“Have dined here a number of times, every entree has been delicious! Will be back again.“

“We enjoyed everything we were served here! From the shrimp Chow Fun to the Eggplant in sweet and sour sauce, the dishes were cooked perfectly. The spicy chicken wings were crisp and flavorful with just the right amount of spice from the Serrano peppers. The bok choi, broccoli, and veggies we had were fresh and nothing was greasy. The noodles were great and we enjoyed the different meats we ordered. They season things well and nothing is overly sauced.

If you're looking for amazing food with wonderful service and hospitality, you'll enjoy this restaurant and the dining experience they provide. We will be back each time we come to Tahoe!“

“Brian and Jill were great to work with!“

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

“Excellent experience from start to finish. Great food in a beautiful setting. We had the lamb, which was cooked perfectly, and the prix fixe prime rib—everything was amazing. Edgar at the host stand was very professional and knowledgeable, and our server John was fantastic and helped us choose the perfect wine. He's been working at Ciera for almost 4 decades! The manager Christin stopped by midway through our meal and was an absolute delight. She also told us about the Thursday and Sunday prix fixe menu for only $70, which is such a great value. We can't wait to return! Get the lobster escargot you won't be disappointed“

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

“💜💜💜 great place to eat!!!!“

“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.“

“Erin did a fantastic job on our wedding cake and cupcakes! We wanted a little something different (a very deep burgundy vintage heart cake) and she blew it out of the water! I have always felt like cake just tastes like, well, cake haha. But the cake Erin made was genuinely SO GOOD. We received so many compliments on our cake. The cupcakes she made were gluten free and those got tons of compliments too! Would highly recommend Tahoe Love Bakery!“

“Great vegan and other dishes.“

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

“You cant beat this place. A classic, casual and unpretentious spot, popular with locals and visitors. I love the atmosphere, especially at the bar, where you can order your favorite brew and play some cards games. They serve amazing food, my favorites are chilli and burgers. Must go in the area!“

“Delicious fresh, made from scratch pizza and pasta. 🍕“

“One of the most friendly restaurant staff I have ever encountered. Made sure we were taken care of the entire way. I even think my daughter had a little crush on our server Danny 😂 ohh and the pizza was great too!“

“Delicious! Definitely order the Guac and Chipotle tacos!“

“Went there my first time and it was a very good meal. I’ve tried the other place in SLT but this place is the best hands down!“

“me and my wife went there on July 6th as we were spending the day in South lake Tahoe I've had a lot of Mexican food even from Tijuana and this is one of the best breakfast burritos I have ever had me and my wife both agreed and they're jalapeno sour cream on point very good I'd like to say thank you from me and my wife for the best breakfast burrito we ever had“

“While this restaurant doesn’t look like much from the outside, what they serve within is spectacular and a new family favorite. Appetizers were out in under five minutes and the main course within an additional five minutes. Food was hot and fresh. General Tsao was the favorite at the table. Even got a show of a couple bears outside in the dumpster.“

“5 Stars. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ My family and I just returned from a trip to Camp Richardson. We had such a great time. Beautiful this time of year. The staff was super accommodating, they went above and beyond to ensure we had a fabulous stay filled with so many memories! We will definitely be going back this summer.“

“Flour Girl Wedding Cakes are sooooo delicious!! I am so happy we decided to go with Sarah for our wedding. The entire experience from our tasting to our actual Wedding cake was beyond perfect. They have so many different flavor options & are so creative with their work. Sarah delivered everything on time for our Wedding & I never even had to stress it! I will definitely be ordering from them any time I am back in town!!“

“Always consistently great food, every time!“

“love this place, service is awesome drinks are great. love Reno and Lucky Beaver“

“Stopped in here on a Friday night in October 2025, and our experience was phenomenal. GREAT FOOD! This was our last stop for the evening, having stopped at two other places for drinks and appetizers. The Loft was the very best food of the night! Imaginative, tasty, and just the right amount. Atmosphere and vibe was great, especially the intimate magic show in the seating area. Can't wait to go back.“

“One of the most friendly restaurant staff I have ever encountered. Made sure we were taken care of the entire way. I even think my daughter had a little crush on our server Danny 😂 ohh and the pizza was great too!“

“Always satisfied when my Family comes here!“

“We come here once or twice a week that’s how much we like this place.“

“Here for a Saturday morning breakfast. Easy parking. Avoid parking under the tree as I saw huge pine cones fall, missing a windshield. At 8a, it was not too crowded. Service was attentive and quick. Over medium eggs were perfect and the chicken fried steak with sausage gravy was delicious and filling. Great first time visit. Will be back again the next time I’m in town.“

“Great authentic tacos. New favorite spot for tacos in the South Lake Tahoe area. Haven’t found a better one yet.“

“5 Stars. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ My family and I just returned from a trip to Camp Richardson. We had such a great time. Beautiful this time of year. The staff was super accommodating, they went above and beyond to ensure we had a fabulous stay filled with so many memories! We will definitely be going back this summer.“

“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“

“They play one heck of a game of backgammon!“

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

“Ordered a bunch of cookies, brownies, tarts and a cake for a party! I started by emailing and asking questions as it was only a few days until our party. Their response was so quick, they were so helpful and kind. The goodies were delivered when they said they would be and were perfect! Everything was delicious! Thank you for your help, your excellent communication and delicious work! I highly recommend Tahoe Cakes by Grace!“
