Milan Wilkerson We got the veggie wrap w falafel and it was absolutely amazing! Lilly gave us so amazing service and was very kind. Food felt very filling and had lots of delicious veggies. Highly recommend after a good hike

Sean Tompkins Good use of space and building atmosphere.  Greeted instantly and seated quickly.  Server was very warm and friendly, and tolerated our chatty tendency.  Wide menu selection, and, as advertised, 500+ whiskies to choose from.  I went with a flight so I could sample a few that Id not yet tried.  For me it happened to be a burger-kinda evening (bacon & jam!), and theirs didnt disappoint.  Caesar salad good, as was artichoke dip appetizer.  Very happy to stop in here for an evening.  Will revisit when again in town.

Martha Kreeger The drinks, bartenders, music and the vibe were stellar. The pizza and tasty pear and pecan salad were also fabulous, but after two drinks and new friends from the crowd, we just enjoyed a great evening and could not tell you about dinner specifically Drinks came fast, bartenders were excellent, did was also very good. Dessert was a warm deep dish cookie with ice cream and chocolate sauce. Really good night!!! Snow is falling, the skiing was amazing and everyone is having a fun time.

Steven Tringali Hey there my friends! Yesterday on our 6th day at Tahoe we decided to try Heidi’s pancakes house, on the recommendation from the great gentlemen who works the small store at the Hilton Resort. I will say we got the jackpot here! Angelica was out waitress, twice because we ended up going 2 days in a row. (Today too!) I ordered the delicious cheddar and bacon omelette and was able to get pancakes instead of hash browns. Let me tell you the omelette and pancakes are both awesome and delicious. The pancakes were an excellent size too!!! We also ordered waffles which looked and tasted great. Their biscuits and gravy were excellent as well. Everything was great and Angelica was amazing with her personality and service! This place is a must!!!

Sasha Davila One of my favorite places to come eat and enjoy the view of the lake. Love the large bar area where you can just walk in 1st come 1st served and the fire place with live music occasionally throughout the year. I love coming for fish taco Fridays in the winter where they do a raffle every hour when you buy a drink or fish taco around 6-9ish. They post events on insta and online. I love their food and especially the deviled eggs, pomegranate ribs, soups, salads with salmon added, bacon burger, and salmon plates. I always bring anyone visiting me here for the ambience and service. Reservation recommended during peak season.

Soleo This place is a vibe! Food here is great, and everything was so fresh. The Brisket melts in your mouth and the portions are large and filling. Angela, our server was on top of everything and super welcoming. She even brought us hot towels after we finished our meal! They truly thought of the smallest details.

Jeff Downing We came in on a hot and busy Sunday afternoon. We were told it would be 1.5 hour wait and it turned out to be 30 min. The staff was super attentive in trying to find us some shade as we sat outside. Once we were able to get some shade, the service and food were spot on. Love music added to the atmosphere but the shade covers at the beach blocked some of the view. We had pretzel bites, burrata salad, fish and chips, salad, and shrimp tacos. Not to mention the Rum Runners. All were fantastic. I cannot say enough for the service from the host to servers, 5 stars

Milly Paulson Everything on the menu looked good. I choose the 3 crispy tacos, one of each meat. Soooooo delicious! I will be back for sure. Everyone was so friendly. Great place. We ate inside but the outside was nice also with a fireplace and live music. 5 stars.

Adam Robley 11/8 We were visiting Tahoe with friends and decided to stop in get a drink and some food . We were seated immediately. Byron was our server and was excellent . Really took care of us. We sat outside and was really nice. I ordered half dozen wings teriyaki and an old fashioned. All of it was good . My son had grilled cheese and enjoyed . My wife had the soup which was tomato bisque. It was really good . Friend and his wife had the French dip and Gouda Mac & Cheese and enjoyed as well. All in all was a nice Meal and a good time . Enjoy !!!!

Paul T This restaurant serves typical American cuisine. The food was great and not over seasoned with salt even the chilli. The portion was very generous and delicious and you definitely wont be disappointed for the price that you pay for the food in this restaurant located in the middle of a tourist town. The restaurant itself is not very big so do expect to wait during busy time. However, the food and the service are well worth the wait. There are only two restrooms for both all genders so you might even see a line there as well. All in all, an awesome restaurant!

A A What a great lunch spot! I loved their chicken souvlaki and the fish and chips. The view from their outdoor patio is great too. They even played two semi-niche songs from my favorite albums during our visit. Silly but really helps make the memories that last. Give them a try!

Sope May It’s the only German Restaurant out here in South Lake Tahoe, but don’t let that fool you. It’s also one of the best I’ve been to. The Schnitzels are all very tasty. We were are able to taste 4 different ones with their platter and none of them let us down. They also have a 7-day marinated beef shoulder that was very tender and the sweet and sour “gravy” they put on it, gave it such a satisfying flavor profile. Don’t forget to get the giant pretzel to share as well.
