    Bryan was our friendly and personable server. They even have a placard with your name on it placed on your table. Their complimentary bread basket is a treat in itself. The cotton candy at the end turns everyone into a giggling child!

    Gar Woods was beautifully decorated for Christmas. We sat at a window overlooking the lake with a beautiful Christmas tree nearby. Our food was delicious and we had very good cocktails with a large list to choose from. They have a very good food menu to choose from-from burgers and sandwiches to prime rib and fish. Our server was very sweet and kind but she must have had a lot of tables because we waited long stretches to get her attention to get more drinks and dessert. But it was Christmas and the place was packed. We will definitely go back again.

    Very cozy restaurant with excellent food. My favorite restaurant in Tahoe City. Everything is delicious at this restaurant and staff are very friendly. Our party of 4 ordered 5 appetizers and 4 different entrees and we wiped out plates clean. Everyone was super happy with their food.
