Jimmys at The Landing Resort & Spa - (Near South Lake Tahoe, CA)

5 /5 Melita Anušić: We’ve been on the road for three weeks before we arrived to Tahoe and tried Jimmy’s. It was hands down the best food we’ve hand in the US thus far and I’m sure it will be hard to top. Just wonderful - coconut and carrot soup was balanced out perfectly, bolognese and short rib were incredible, my mouth waters days after and the desserts were also just delicious. Would recommend to anyone looking for great food!

4 /5 Cori Harper: It is a very nice place to have lakeside dining. The happy hour was excellent. They have great wings and wine. The dinner highlight is the pull apart bread. The breakfast is terrible and processed food. Overall the it is pricy for the quality of food, but you are paying for the view. The service was ok, nothing to rave about.

4 /5 Daniel Aguilar: My wife and I visited Jimmy’s at the Landing in South Lake Tahoe for their Thanksgiving dinner. We had pre-reserved the set menu and arrived on time. The staff was friendly and our server was excellent—polite, attentive, and professional throughout the evening. Ambience & Seating The biggest issue of the night was the table placement and the atmosphere around it. We were seated at an awkward, non-standard table located off to the side. Even worse, the couple next to us had a dog that barked at every single person walking by. This continued throughout the meal and made it difficult to enjoy the dining experience. For a holiday dinner priced at this level, I expected the restaurant to manage seating and noise disruptions more effectively. Food The Thanksgiving menu was $150 per person and included multiple courses. Amuse-bouche: My wife received half of a deviled egg. I had the crispy halloumi, which was excellent and full of flavor. Soups: My wife’s French onion soup was outstanding—rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I had the pumpkin soup, which was beautifully presented but just okay in terms of taste. Appetizer: We both had the prosciutto and pear dish. Very good flavors, but the portion was extremely small—only a couple of bites. Entrées: I ordered the Thanksgiving turkey dinner. The turkey was cooked well but the portion size was disappointing for a holiday meal. My wife had the ribeye, which was delicious and cooked perfectly. Drinks I had a local beer ($10) and my wife opted for the $65 wine pairing, which was actually a great value and well-selected for the courses. Price Our total came to about $450 including tax and tip. Given the quality of the service and some of the dishes, parts of the meal were enjoyable—but the seating arrangement and the continuous barking from a nearby dog significantly reduced the overall value of the experience. Overall Jimmy’s has great service and solid food, but our Thanksgiving dinner was affected by poor seating and a very disruptive nearby dog. For a special holiday meal at this price point, the restaurant should ensure a more comfortable and controlled dining environment.

3 /5 Travel Abroad: Dinner party of three Score range 1-10 Filet Mignon topped with oyster mushroom: Overall score 4. Tough to cut, not a tender piece of meat at all. Slightly overcooked. Side of asparagus. Very minimal and basic. Maine Lobster Pappardelle: Overall score 6. Creamy Calabrian pasta dish with decent amount of lobster, wild mushrooms and roasted tomatoes, topped with parmesan cheese. Could have had a bit more bite to the sauce, but overall was good. Chilean sea bass: Overall score 6 The sea bass was a perfect portion size after consuming the appetizers, it was well balanced so it wasn’t too heavy, the fish was so buttery it melts in your mouth, however could have had a little bit more flavor on the fish as well as the beurre blanc sauce that came with it. It could have included more greens on the plate, there were diced snap peas but the rest of the veggies were potatoes, it would have been more balanced if the greens and carbs went hand in hand. other than that, no complaints.
