Amazing food and service! So glad we came here, everything was cooked to perfection and Kira our waitress was so awesome. The crab cakes and surf and turf were some of the best we had. We can’t stop talking about the butter sauce served with the lobster

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 me of a summer camp mess hall. Just a bunch of tables, no intimacy, no real aesthetic. We had a window with a view of the river which 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 not accommodate an outdoor table, which was understandable but disappointing.

Waiter pretty much ignored the 2 of us in favor of his big parties, tip induced. Gave us the concessionary free dessert which we don’t typically order or eat, food was good, atmosphere what were used to going there but service… not so much.

This is a wonderful restaurant! I have had several dishes on the menu. The halibut, ahi poke appetizer, seared ahi appetizer, pear salad, spinach ravioli are all excellent! I also recommend the minted mule cocktail. The deck is a peaceful outdoor space with a view of the Truckee River. All together, an outstanding experience.

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 drink choices. Hope to be back when in town again.

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.

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 the scallops main dish was delicious as well.

First of all every main course at this place is over $30 they have one option in the $20 range which is a hamburger. ridiculous prices and terrible service , sat down with my grandmother and waited a little longer then 15 minutes for not one but not a single person to help us. There were staff members conversing with the customers for almost the whole time we had been seated waiting to be served.
