    Service and food was outstanding. Next time I will book over the phone and request the dining room. We were seated adjacent to the bar which was active and on the loud side. The Sole was perfectly prepared and delicious. Highly recommended.

    Fantastic dining experience. Beautiful ambiance, excellent service and exceptional delicious dishes. Started with amazing cocktails & lobster tempura appetizer, we were hooked. Beautiful wine list, coupled with perfect rack of lamb and incredibly delicious Meyer lemon ravioli and again perfect seared cod, followed by espresso and a shared mudslide- the perfect dinner and dessert. Definitely our new favorite in the entire Tahoe/Truckee area!
