    Wonderful ambiance, service staff. Menu was a bit limited - there were only 4 or 5 mains and were either a pasta or very pricy meat dish like duck or a large steak we weren’t interested in.

    We had a lovely time celebrating my birthday at Plumjack. The service was good , nothing extraordinary but professional, it was a pretty quiet service The food was delicious, lobster bisque was very flavorful and the squash kale salad equally delicious. Compliments to the culinary team Butternut squash alfredo and stuffed quail followed and were both well prepared and beautifully presented. Nice wine list with a very good selection to choose from. We had a great time overall and enjoyed our evening I did mention on my reservation that we were there to celebrate a birthday and it was totally ignored. No big deal , i am not there for the freebies, but a simple Happy Birthday would have made the evening extra special . if you are in the Tahoe area , i recommend

    Neither the food nor the service was acceptable. The young man filling water glasses was the only employee that cared we were there. I have had better steaks at the Waffle House. Caesar salad and lobster bisque soup were good. Bathrooms smelled terrible.

    First they couldn’t find our reservation, which I pulled up on my phone. Then, while seated they called to let me know we were late for the reservation (to which I told them we were seated)—by the same maitre d, no less. No waiter for 15 min until we asked for one to be sent over. Our app arrived and 30 seconds later so did our main courses. The restaurant was not full either. The main course (Bronzino) was inedible. Disappointing all around since we always eat at Plumpjack when in Tahoe.

    This is now my favorite Tahoe restaurant. Everything was absolutely delicious. The stuffed quail was an amazing appetizer. The butternut squash soup with a hint of curry was very unique, delicious, and flavorful. The Branzino with the scallops were one of the best preparations of my favorite fish. The ambiance very cozy and a bit whimsical. Service was great. I love everything about this restaurant. Definitely will dine there again.

    Began with a delicious Helles Lager (Erdinger I think) and great appetizer right after Oktoberfest followed by an amazing steak & Bordeaux Blend. Service was outstanding…highly recommend!
