Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Tahoe City

We had reservations for 8pm however showed up half an hour early. The host was super nice and was able to seat us even though it was obviously super busy on Thanksgiving. The waitress was on top of everything! Even got us two rolls heated and warmed up for us! The ambiance of the restaurant was romantic with good mood lightning. The only negative item I would have to mention is the two restrooms were super busy and there was a line of 4 people who had to wait over 10 minutes for the people in the restrooms to open up. Overall, I would definitely return to this restaurant for lunch or dinner!!!

Gar Woods was crawling with tons of folks looking to spend a great Thanksgiving with a great meal and good friends. For as jam packed as they were, the staff kept everything moving as smoothly as possible, which was an incredible feat! The menu was a choice of Thanksgiving Turkey or Thanksgiving ha plus you could order off of their normal Dinner menu if you preferred. Most of my group had the Turkey and it came out piping hot, covered with gravy, mashed potatoes, white and dark meat, dressing, cranberry sauce, and asparagus tips . . a feast for the eyes and stomach . . followed by apple pie and ice cream. An incredibly joyous and memorable evening. Gar Woods never fails to deliver and deliver it did. Lots of smiling faces that night!

We were very happy to find our neighborhood restaurant open on Thanksgiving Day. The martinis were excellent. We chose the Turkey dinner which was delicious and plentiful. Chris was an exceptional waiter and very attentive.

Cora was perfectly attentive. I especially value when servers don’t just bust in while we are talking but also walk by and can tune into what we need, when we need it. Teresa the bartender was engaging, offered a creative twist on our beverage we didn’t end up preferring, and she handled it perfectly. The food was exceptional. Love the new menu. The food was not only DELICIOUS, it was also presented beautifully which also added an extra touch of class. Love the Sawyer and will keep coming back.

We had the roasted chicken breast and short ribs. Delicious. Our waiter, Michael, was very pleasant and attentive.
