Sat by the window overlooking river and we ate Ceviche appetizer and shared the Surf and Turf plate. Delicious food and cozy... place. Read more
Such yummy food and a view from the table. Surf n turf was excellent. Lobster was the best.
This place is pretty good. Pretty standard variety of dish types, great taste, okay vibe inside. The prices are definitely... reflective of the Tahoe area. I would not recommend come here if there is only seating inside. The inside ambiance reminded meof a summer camp mess hall. Just a bunch of tables, no intimacy, no real aesthetic. We had a window with a view of the riverwhich was nice, but I would knock a half-star off this review without the view. The outside on the other hand looked amazing.Live music, awesome vibe. Called 3 days in advance for a reservation on a random Wednesday evening and they still could notaccommodate an outdoor table, which was understandable but disappointing. Seared Ahi Sashimi was okay. Fish was pretty fresh, alittle fishy. Soy sauce came in a maple syrup container which made it hard to dip, which was odd. There was also unexpectedly agrilled veggie wrap of some sort included. Basically coleslaw wrapped in a spinach wrap and thrown in a panini press. Nothingabout that screamed "ahi sashimi" to me, but here we are. The Rack of Lamb was awesome, highly recommended. Portions were smallfor USA standards (think 4 big bites of lamb), but the meat was delicious. Demi was perfect, potatoes were good. Asparagus wascooked well, but anything else would be shocking. Scallops and Tempura Asparagus was good. Scallops were fresh enough, risottowas delicious, but the tempura was not tempura. It was standard/bland beer batter. Asparagus is not a flavorful vegetable tobegin with, so this literally just tasted like "fried nothing". Would not recommend. Read more
We went there to celebrate our anniversary and we were very happy with everything. Beautiful sunset and great food. I got the... spinach ravioli and my boyfriend got a burger. Both of us enjoyed our meal. They had live music playing and plenty of drinkchoices. Hope to be back when in town again. Read more
Very pretty setting. We same for happy hour (5-6pm) which has a very short menu - not standout. Margaritas were good. Pork... dumplings were excellent. Bread pudding was okay, not great. Read more
I ordered a salad with dressing on side, but it came with dressing, so I had them remake it. And they were extremely nice about... it. The view was excellent, with the river right below the restaurant. And the crab cake appetizer was really good. And thescallops main dish was delicious as well. Around 6:30 PM, they had live music as well, and there was some young childrendancing along. It was quite cute! Read more
After a day of tubing we stopped in here for dinner. Felt a little under dressed with the upper dining expectation, but we were... fine. Expresso Martini was absolutely delicious, along with the dynamite prawns which had quite the kick. Seared scallops waspaired with a risotto and a "glaze" that had the consistency of a beef broth. Though it was unexpected, it was delicious. Italso came with fried asparagus, which should not be plated with a brothy entree as it could have soaked through, had I notimmediately transferred it to another plate. That would be my only complaint, along with not saving room for desert. Staff wasattentive and my water glass never went dry. Surrounding patrons were friendly and engaging, and the view of the river wasspectacular. I would definitely recommend. Read more
