Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Truckee

We have dined at Roxy many times, in fact every time we’ve been to Reno. This time however, it was probably the best meal yet. My wife had a lobster tail with garlic mashed potatoes and steamed asparagus. I had the filet with their glazed carrots. We enjoyed several glasses of Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon with our meal. Dessert was an affogato and we each had a Cafe’ Diablo prepared table side. Absolutely amazing! It’s why we keep coming back!

We had an absolutely incredible Christmas/anniversary dinner! The table was strewn with fresh rose petals to celebrate. The staff was attentive and professional. Angel kept our water glasses filled, brought us fresh, hot bread, and an appetizer boat, gratis. Turns out our waitress was married at exactly the same place we were, a year later. We had wonderful memories of being married at Tahoe, 40 years ago. My husband had surf and turf and the fillet was cooked perfectly, we got the Oscar topping for it, which was more crab than I've ever been served anywhere else, ever. The lobster tail with it was succulent, and so big we shared it! He got the gigantic twice baked potato and I got the au gratin potatoes, which were a work of art. I had the top sirloin and it was huge. We were absolutely stuffed by the end of the meal and begged off dessert, but were presented with two candles on a beautiful plate, with wish to blow out an anniversary wish together. The prices were half what they would be anywhere else, their servings were double and the quality was comparable, if not better. We are going there for every celebration from now on. And bonus, it's in a casino, so we could have fun before and after! Thank you to all for such a special evening.

Sunnyside is such an iconic Tahoe venue. Always good food and excellent service. A must go if you come through Tahoe City.

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.

Spent Christmas dinner here with our 3 teens. It was a perfect evening in every way. The ambience & view of the lake are hard to beat (4 pm dinner rez). The food was very good (only reason not perfect was wife's medium rare was a little undercooked). My son had the prime rib -- delicious. I had the salmon, our appetizers were great. The service was splendid...how often do you take your teens to dinner and they rave about how good dinner was?? We will definitely be back whether in summer or winter.
