Best Authentic Restaurants in Carnelian Bay

Truly a great experience. I was told that the Smoke Door restaurant was outstanding and nowadays that could mean on that given night they got it right. But to be truthful it was all and more than what I was expecting. Food was on point, service also. We did the ten course taster menu chose not to do the drink paring as we were driving 20 oz of alcohol is too much for me. I really liked the atmosphere for such a high end restaurant the service wasn’t stuffy and the staff were very friendly and explained the courses and answered all of our questions. Will definitely return.

Great food, great service, wonderful presentation, excellent experience

We celebrated my birthday here. We came early as we like early dinners (yes we are older!), so we had great service! The bartender made us a drink even though technically the bar wasn’t quite open. Enjoyed our food, drinks and ambiance!

The baked Brie with mushrooms was amazing and so were the crab cakes! Everything we had was delicious but definitely loved these two dishes the best. It’s a pretty small place and was a little noisy but food was delicious so we didn’t mind the noise too much. Will definitely go back again!

If you want comfort food, this is the place to go . We love the people always charming and perfect Tahoe pub food.
