                                      Began with a delicious Helles Lager (Erdinger I think) and great appetizer right after Oktoberfest followed by an amazing steak & Bordeaux Blend. Service was outstanding…highly recommend!

                                      A very nice evening for celebrating our anniversary. Service was outstanding. The scallops were great. My wife found the lamb though tender and well cooked, a bit too peppery for her tase.

                                      We had an excellent dinner at PlumpJack. After years of eating at overpriced and mediocre (at best) restaurants on the lake, we decided to give PlumpJack a try. What it lacks in views of the lake, it more than makes up for in food quality & presentation, service, cocktails and wine. Great for a date night or special occasion. My new go-to in N. Lake Tahoe.

                                      We loved everything at Plumpjack Cafe. The staff were excellent, the atmosphere beautiful, the cocktails inspired and delicious, and food exceptional!

                                      During a heat wave, we expected that we could eat inside with the AC on. Instead we were seated outside and we were sweltering and eaten alive by mosquitos. Even the bar was incredibly hot. How does a high end restaurant not have AC?
