Vitamin YiJanuary 3, 2017Amazing atmosphere. Home of the 1st ski slope in California! Get the Brussel Sprouts and wings to start, don't want to miss those! Entries are delicious, but the enchiladas stand out!!Upvoted Feb 16
Elad OssadonApril 27, 2016Rib eye is delicious. Wings are amazing. We also took creme brûlée and the fresh berry crisp, which were super good.
EricJanuary 22, 2015A more casual dining experience than Trokay/Stella/ChristyHill. Well-executed classics, some with well-done twists (the ribs are great).
Danielle OlsenApril 19, 2013Rustic sheik, old farmhouse but with white table cloths and candles. Great acoustic music. Food's great too. One of my favs!- Visit TruckeeDecember 12, 2014There is a great view overlooking truckee from this restaurant, you have to stop by for some drinks at least once!
- Eddie HernandezFebruary 12, 2012The pear salad with balsamic marinated onions is incredible. Then the NY steak with bleu cheese was even better! Definitely coming back.
These are the most knowledgeable and friendliest bartenders in town. Tip generously as they've earned this praise every time I frequent this establishment.
Pocket SunJuly 11, 2015Only serve sourdough pre-meal. Seafood stew was good. Butternut squash enchilada was good too. Pork appetizer wasn't good. Cesaer Salad wasn't impressive either.
