    Nice casual restaurant. Friendly service and excellent food. The Ahi appetizer in a cone is a must. The trout was fresh and prepared with a curry sauce ane fresh tomatoes. Th Schnitzel is a favorite. Wine is a deal here with the glass/bottle prices being very reasonable. We ate outside on the deck this time but the inside is cozy. It’s great to have a place in Tahoe City with a variety of good meal choices, friendly service, fair prices and where you can also make a reservation!

    Food was excellent. Bartender was personable and helpful. Our waiter seemed busy with a larger table ave wasn’t very responsive. Pretty atmosphere surrounded in a wooded area.

    Best kept secret on the Lake! The ambience, food and service can’t be beat! Done on the outside deck in the summer or inside by the fireplace in the cool temps or winter! Always a great experience.

    A hidden gem, especially on busy weekends when everything else in Tahoe City is booked. Food is great, drinks are great, at times service can seem overwhelmed, but all in all a great experience as the staff are more than friendly.
