    Had a wonderful dinner here for our anniversary. The food was delicious, so well balanced, and so many layers of flavors and textures. Service was attentive, informative, and understated. There was more food than anticipated for the six course tasting menu. We did not leave hungry! Will be back for sure.

    Such a great spot, likely the best place to eat in North Lake right now. Cocktails were amazing, and the food and service too.

    I give Smoke Door 6 stars out of 5. Every course, every sauce was flavorful and different. The smoked vodka in one of the specialty drinks was amazing! 5 course tasting lunch was outstanding! Smoke Door is a very special restaurant with a tight, well communicating team. The kitchen is open and so very efficient and quiet. I can not wait to go back!

    Every part of the experience is incredible. From the food, the service, the ambiance- all of it is a 10/10. Can’t recommend Smoke Door enough if you’re in the Tahoe area.
