PlumpJack Cafe is one of the fancier restaurants in the Palisades Tahoe village. However, they are currently offering a very limited menu due to Covid 19 shortages and staffing issues. They features lovely mixed drinks along with a full wine selection. For the entree, they offer various meat dishes, which are decent, but nothing to write home about, and notably did not offer the dishes that my family had a craving for from a previous visit.

This restaurant was truthfully really good. When I initially entered, I wasn’t sure if it’d be above my price range but I decided to venture on and try it nevertheless. I thoroughly enjoyed my squash dish, dessert and my specialty drink. I had the luxury of meeting some fellow patrons who were congenial and pleasantly conversational. Definitely give this place a try if you’re searching for a place to eat after your ski adventures.

Stopped in to PlumpJack for a drink at the bar after doing some shopping and taking a trip to the top. The atmosphere was nice, cozy and the service was good. I’ll definitely be back to try some food next time!

So-so food at premium prices. Good service except that no one did anything about the dog that was yapping nearby non-stop. I’m a dog lover, but really… Nice setting, but hard to enjoy with Yappy Dog. If you want to spend this kind money on food, there are much better places in the area.

I went to the resturant during summer of 2012. The drive up was not that bad the weather and the road condition was great with no traffic. The food and the service here was also great. As you can see in the picture, I was enjoying my sadwich out side with a drink.

This place honestly doesn’t deserve any stars the staff were rude and couldn’t tell us what happened to our food nor what the managers name was, our waitress just sat there and peeked at us around the corner without saying a word. We waited over 2 hrs for our food then once we went to leave they finally told us they were sorry that our food was ready, but there were people around us with even bigger groups that got there way later than us and got there food before we did and not just one group but over five . It’s just the disrespect of not telling us why our food wasn’t out yet and not even checking on us. I can not speak for the food but it was expensive and service was horrible.

quality fell off big time, prices still top tier. ate there last night, thoroughly disappointed. If traveling to Tahoe and excited to come here because you remember how great it was, don’t bother.

We arrived in the middle of a storm and I have to say the service the staff and the food were all very very good. Surprised at some of the other reviews that I’m reading here, Our experience was really good.

Drinks,appetizers and wine tasting. Great evening

Overpriced & small portions. The food is good, equivalent to good food that you’re able to get at most restaurants. With 6 orders and several appetizers selected, nothing was impressive or stand out.
