    We had so much fun! Our server was so attentive. We ordered like 6 appetizers and some Ragu for my husbands birthday. She asked us if we wanted it all at once or one or two at a time. She did great. Brought the salad with the ceviche, the sliders with the Mac n. Cheese.. saved the entree for last. We were so full by then so we let her know before it was time so she could have it boxed so they didn’t waste dishes. They brought an adorable tiny treat for my husbands birthday. Everyone was on top of drinks and food. We came when they first opened a while back and it was good then but it’s way better now. Thank you for the lovely evening! I’ll edit this when I find my receipt so I can add her name.

    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.

    Beautiful restaurant, they recently expanded it and it’s huge! For it being Christmas Eve in a packed restaurant our food came out amazingly quick. Our drinks were constantly filled, our waiter was outstanding in always checking with us. Food 10/10. It is pricey and definitely a splurge but compared to the other restaurants in harrahs/harveys this is by far the best. Don’t waste your money elsewhere, it’s worth the splurge. The cheesecake and the butterscotch pudding were the best desserts we’ve ever had.

    Fantastic dinner with extended family! The Granite Chief cocktail was refreshing and complex. Highly recommend the duck starter. The cut of the day was the bison rib-eye, which was delicious. If they have it, definitely opt for it. My dad had the pork chop, which he praised as better than what he recently had at a 1-star Michelin restaurant in the Bay Area. The catch of the day, sea bream, included Kauai prawn, mussels and delicious mushrooms. The grilled lemon cheesecake was amazing, while the chocolate mousse was shockingly too chocolately for the chocolate fans in my family. Overall, the tastiest meal in the Tahoe area we’ve had in a while. Definitely plan to come back!
