    Best upscale dining spot in Incline Village. Granted it is part of the Crystal Palace but this restaurant holds its own. Food was delicious and service was equally as good.. Highly recommend you try it. Great value for the price too. We were talking after dinner and trying to compare it to something and the only restaurant we could remember with such good food was the old Lone Eagle at the Hyatt. And their meals were terrible, and the service was horrendous.

    The service is always excellent. The servers are knowledgeable, observant and friendly. The Caprese salad and oysters were delicious. The loaded baked potatoes come with all sides on them so be sure to ask for them on the side if that is your preference. Both of our baked potatoes were burnt. However, the majority of the potato was delicious and large in size. The side order of grilled asparagus was not worth $9. There were five stocks that were the thickness of a pencil & 5” long. The 10 ounce top sirloin steak was cooked to perfection, however, realistically was roughly 7 ounces.  for dessert we had the mud pie and it was terrible. The only flavor was in the drizzle of hot fudge because the mud pie itself had freezer burn throughout.

    Dined at this restaurant twice in one week, great experience both times. Everything was great, but it would be nice if the Happy Hour service was not limited to just the bar.

    We were hoping for a bit more of an upgrade on the food from some years ago but unfortunately the pattern of more or less OK but not great continued. The side dishes were boring, broccoli undercooked. The $90 lobster tail was tasteless and slightly undercooked. We were there for Prime Rib special night and they were all gone one hour after opening (?). The restaurant is too cheap to buy enough meat to be sure to serve all customers. On the plus side the cocktails were delicious, service was decent (friendly if a bit slow) and the overall look and feel of the restaurant is very nice (and quiet). Too bad the food isn't better.
