I wish the owner would get on the ball because I love going here, but we went for dinner tonight and they only had one waitress for the whole place. She was the bartender and the waitress taking the orders and clearing the tables. I wanted a nice dinner and all I got was a side order of calamari cause I didn’t wanna wait around. They got on the ball and give this girl some help they should have bar rescue Geico over there.?

Selected this place as it was in close proximity to our lodging after a long day on the slopes. We were exhausted and wanted a place where we could walk to and wind down with a cocktail and a view. We ordered a few apps and 2 drinks to split amongst our party of two. Service was prompt and friendly and our food was better than expected. Mahi Tacos: 4/5 the fish was nicely seasoned and perfectly cooked and paired well with the pineapple salsa. I found myself wishing it had a spicy aioli to balance it out. Buffalo cauliflower: 5/5 this was our favorite bite of the night. A flawless marriage of crunch from the crispy batter, spicy flavor from the buffalo seasoning and cooling effect of the cucumber. I would eat this every day if I could and it's something I'm going to try making at home. Burrata: 4/5 we were expecting the dish to be cold but it came out in a VERY HOT crock with herbs and tomatoes with bread to dip. The cooked outside of the cheese had a mild rubbery texture which made it difficult to cut through, but the flavors were so good! We soaked up every bit of the cheesy mixture with the bread leaving no trace behind. We frequent Tahoe from the Bay Area and I would definitely add this place to my list of recommendations to friends and family who visit the area.

Overbooked & under staffed. Waited 2 hr for appetizers that were cold and mediocre at best. Gorgeous view from the deck.

Dropped in for dinner because I liked the location and the food online. I turned out not to be disappointed! Great food and excellent service. Ally took care of me, she was friendly and hospitable without being overbearing. The location has beautiful views, is small, old yet warm and inviting. I’ll definitely be back!

We came here later at night. There were about 3 tables of people. The food took a notably long time and wasn't as good/quality as we were expecting for the price. Likely paying for the view and the convenience of how close it is the hotel...not the food.

Out of towner visiting for some awesome views and good vibes. Decided to sit outside for the view and would recommend. It was cold outside with it being winter but was totally worth the scenic atmosphere if you like seeing snowy mountains and waves crashing into the shore. The food we ordered (pictured) was average. It wasn't terrible but it didn't pack the taste I was expecting. Some of the grapes we got were clearly on the expired end so I was little surprised those were served. The drinks were great though, got the Bloody Mary, was on the spicy end which is the way I prefer it. Service was on the slower side, looks like the server needed some help. The vibe was chill, they have music playing inside, or if you want to sit outside and enjoy nature. If you're not in a rush this spot might be for you.

Would not recommend for other side of the lake locals or tourist who want to good service and food. Drinks look good but pretty dirty restaurant. The help pretty iffy and not customer centric nor interested in being so. I'm guessing East Coast transplants what are we doing? We go inside or what

We stopped in mid afternoon on a Sunday hoping to get a good seat to watch the sunset. Great service from Iveta. She was terrific and worked her tail off juggling drinks, food and tidying up the tables. The house cocktail list was extensive; drinks were creative and well balanced. Thank you!

This place is an absolute find! The appetizers alone were spectacular. The Baked Caprese Burrata and the Seared Ahi Tuna are to die for. I wanted to lick my plate! Ally made me a non alcoholic Mojito with mint and pineapple that was just what the doctor ordered. Her service was just as wonderful as the food. I vouldn't be happier and can't wait to be back.
