This is now my favorite Tahoe restaurant. Everything was absolutely delicious. The stuffed quail was an amazing appetizer. The butternut squash soup with a hint of curry was very unique, delicious, and flavorful. The Branzino with the scallops were one of the best preparations of my favorite fish. The ambiance very cozy and a bit whimsical. Service was great. I love everything about this restaurant. Definitely will dine there again.

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.

Wait staff was terrific, meal was delicious, outside dinning could have been enhanced. I will definitely be back. Loved staying at the Plumpjack and the service and dinner was the best in the area.
