This has to be my favorite place in all of Lake Tahoe. Definitely the best food and best atmosphere. I only ate there once but wish I would’ve stopped by once more. I would definitely go back and I highly recommend this place.

What a nice surprise this was. This place has both indoor and outdoor seating, though the outdoor seat3may not be obvious. That's part of the charm however if you do end up eating outside. It's a nice, open space enclosured by foliage. Food was good, and...Read More

Ordered the Wiener Schnitzel, French onion soup and the Grand Marnier Souffle! The soup was fabulous with just the perfect amount of cheese and onions. The weinerschnitzel was good. Alittle thin but tastey! Mashed potatoes seasoned just right. Red cabbage was also to my taste....Read More

We dined outside under towering pines. Nice ambiance, enhanced by several water fountains that create a pleasant background sound that also masks the sound of passing traffic. Service was prompt, friendly, and attentive. My Cioppino was delicious! Parking is provided on site. We had an...Read More

A perfect mountain restaurant... Great food, friendly people. Seafood curry medley was excellent. Souffle for dessert a must. Prime rib melted in the mouth. 4 stars for atmosphere only because it's a bit noisy.

Excellent food. Service exceptional. New Outside dinning was relaxing and beautiful. Soft quiet guitar player added to atmosphere. Crab cakes good and reasonable for the area. Loved the wedge salad, french onion soup, and veal picatta. Definitely need to make reservations a day in advance.

Had heard from so many friends, and finally made it. Super tasty food, crab cakes delish, fantastic drinks. My martini was perfect, and the vodka soda was nice and stiff. Atmosphere was cozy, next time will do the bar and join the festive crowds.

This is a rare example of a really well-run restaurant. A Tahoe staple, it welcomes the casually-dressed diner and completely eschews stuffiness. But to my great delight, it really feels like dining in Europe. …
