Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Truckee

My husband and I had dinner here for our anniversary. Jeremy was our server. He was prompt in greeting us. He shared the specials for the evening. He gave suggestions/ shared with us his likes. He was very attentive, while carrying a full section and a table who was needy and grumpy. Jeremy never skipped a beat or let anyone throw him off. I could see that the entire staff worked well together. We were greeted with smiles upon arrival. We were given a booth per our request. Our food was cooked to perfect temperatures. The sides could’ve been larger portions but were overall very tasty. We started with the Butternut Squash bisque and Caesar salad. For Entree’s we had a filet, lamb and the elk… all which were cooked perfectly (medium). In addition for sides we had Mac and cheese, Brussels and Au Gratin potatoes. We ordered two deserts which were a lava cake and I wish I could remember what the other was. It was suggested by Jeremy and WOW was it amazing. He also surprised us with an anniversary ice cream which was yummy as well. Usually my husband recognizes when I’m watching mistakes at restaurants but this was not the case here. I do the training in a fine dinning restaurant at a casino in Sacramento and I had zero complaints. This was the first time in many years that every single point of service was met or exceeded expectations. My husband was blown away by everything. Thank you to the entire staff for making our night special. We cannot wait to return!

We had a wonderful date night at Sorensens Cafe! We were staying at the resort, I love that they have this restaurant right on the property. There was a wonderful singer and guitarist playing during our dinner, which really set the perfect mood for the night. Our server John was very kind, personable and knowledgeable about the menu. We got the shrimp dip as an appetizer and the salmon as our entrees. Both were delicious. I highly recommend this experience and we can’t wait to come back!

This is an excellent restaurant with great service, food, and ambience.

We thoroughly enjoyed are dinner at Gambi’s. The food was excellent and our server Spencer was very attentive. Ambience was good and restaurant was not noisy at all. We will be going back.
