Fancy, but still casual. great views and a great menu. Lots of options and they have a kids menu. Tucked away from the main city center, it's a great place to have dinner.

Good food & drinks, very large portions. Out of the way if you're not staying in Tahoe Donner but worth the drive.

My man and I had to escape a few hours from our family vacation and this spot was so relaxing, so yummy and the views were beautiful. Fish and veggies were on point, apps were so well balanced flavor wise. Loved this restaurant

Love the Lodge restaurant, we always eat there is we can every time we are in town. It's a mini social scene for Tahoe Donner faithful, and you might see the occasional celebrity. Fun for all.
