Katarina Petrikova I had the gyro bowl + pita bread at Pita Co. in Cascade Kitchen Food Hall and it was absolutely delicious. Even though it was very busy, the food was prepared quickly and everything was fresh and flavorful. The gyro meat was great and the staff handled the rush really well.

Joe Keil Fresh, quality, creative food and The Butterfly Effect was one of the best cocktails Ive ever had!

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.

daniella king Amazing gem in South Lake Tahoe. cocktails were amazing, unique and flavorful. started off with the Lobster Mac and cheese and was incredible. Caviar options were also on point. We had the elk, salmon, Lobster burger and more. Chef Jimmy really blew it out of the water. so impressed. manager Jason also stopped by and we assured him everything was perfect. A great birthday celebration with tiramisu and strawberry shortcake. Great spot for a special occasion, or even just a memorable date night. Thank you for the amazing dinner!!

Sara Gomez Food was perfect! I had the hot honey chicken and my husband had the fish & chips. Everything was perfectly cooked and delicious! Our server Stephanie was wonderful to talk with at the bar and very friendly. We will definitely be coming back over and over!

Robin Dimiceli I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food! I had the fettuccine Alfredo with blackened chicken and a wonderful side salad with crumbled blue cheese dressing. Top quality ingredients and reasonable prices! I also enjoyed a lemon drop. My favorite

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.

Scarlett Brooks My goodness the breakfast was amazing! Staff is super nice and helpful too!

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.

Julianne Evans What a great place! The food was divine. Intimate setting with the most delightful staff. Loved it here. They had so many options to choose from and everything was made from scratch! Only 11 tables so make reservations! Even their desserts were all homemade on site.
