Pricey , sure. Some of the best food I’ve had in Tahoe thus far tho. Alice in Wonderland is a great cocktail . The branzino was very nicely prepared - loved the tangy veggie accompaniment

Lisa Bender

Start with the corn dogs . Insane! Every fish dish I've had there has been delicious and my husband goes nuts for the lamb shank . Fun live music too!

Chuck Coulson

Great cocktails and food in a cool environment. Looking forward to the return of live music !

Lisa Troutman

A totally adorable jazz camp has convened in one of the dining rooms and outdoors--brass, percussion and keys lunchtime on Tuesday.

Jamie House

Fantastic place. Love music and terrific food. The truffle deviled eggs and pate are a must!

Trish Burnside

Stick with burgers and pizza if you're actually hungry. You will guaranteed go home hungry if you order an (overpriced) entree. Cocktails are pretty good though.

Sarah Lambersky

As good as it gets for a bistro - worth the drive to truckee. French onion soup looks like a soufflé

Craig Villamor

Get the poutine ! Burger is big w/ quality beef but overdone and dry.

Sam Goff

Heirloom tomatoes , huge portion . Split it. Deserts are good and big. Fantastic pork meals.

Odile Roujol

Great jazz live. Halibut and died calamari but ... Avoid the eggs with truffles ????.

Meri's Food

Get the truffle & parmesan fries - delicious! Good food and good service .

Visit Truckee

They have good drinks and tons of live music . You can check their website for details :)

Jonneke Grisham

Great bar ! Relaxing but lively at the same time, excellent food. Stella on tap

Logan Quigley

The truffle deviled eggs are great! You only get four, though (two whole eggs ), so savor them.

Adrienne Campbell

Great wine on tap selection ! Food is excellent!

CIO scarr

Wines by the carafe ! Deviled eggs & corn dogs are not to be missed!

Roy Chen

Good food, love music , great environment

Sydney M

Live music , good burger . Sit at the bar

James Espinoza

Great burger ! Service was great!

Pocket Sun

Very good crab benedict ! Fish sandwich was a little tasteless

Benjy Weinberger

As snobby city slickers we were prepared to be disappointed. But everything we ordered was delicious.

Jodie Litster

Happy hour from 3-5:30 every day! Best $10 pizza you'll ever taste.

Charlie Enna Curtis

If Jamie is around, ask for a Tokyo Iced Tea and talk about science/tech with him.

Izzy King

The homemade pasta is amazing

Laura Fingal-Surma

I had no idea corn dogs could be so good. Order them!

Sukhjit Ghag

Make sure to get a bread basket . The bread here is divine!

Good place for lunch on the way to the slopes.

Cristina Strunk

Enjoying the duck pâté and house-made pickles ...early start to the weekend!

Najia

Homemade pastas ...can't go wrong!!

Adam H

Don't go there on a weekend without a reservation . Very small place and very crowded .

Exclusive Resorts

The crab toast is not to be missed!

brad nelson

The truffle deviled eggs were delicious, but the service was really lacking. Left pretty disappointed.

Laura Fingal-Surma

Unbelievably good fries .

ᴡ Alexander

Truffled deviled eggs , please.

Christine Hueber.com - Social Media Marketing Results

Excellent food and service ... love the house-made charcuterie !

Heath Terry

Really? You're thinking about ordering something other than the Big Ass Pork Chop ?

Sean Regan

Yea, the pork chop is a big winner.

Cathy Harry

Ask for Peter, he's the best!

Eric F.

Split the Gnocchi and Bavette. Amazing.

Charlie Foster

The only thing better looking than the food is the wait staff .

Molly Neuhauser

I would not recommend this place. The service is slow and the food is mediocre. Definitely avoid if you don't enjoy the jazz music scene

Ryan Cohen

Since it newly opened, very mediocre food, weak service. Try again next year, or don't come in for more then a drink.

Mike Giger

Grab a bloody, best in town !

Steve Hunter

Make some smores at your table for dessert .
