FANTASTIC. My daughter got the Burger with sweet potato fries - also fantastic! a Tea for her and a glass of wine for me! Ate outside - it was peaceful and beautiful. We will be back! Service was top notch.

    Great place after a hike or a bike ride for a bite to eat or a cold beverage on the deck overlooking the meadow!

    Go for a hike or bike ride and then go have lunch- we hiked and then had the beet salad and housemade veggie burger.

    Thank God for a Winery here! We were visiting from Hawaii & didn't realize a blizzard was coming…read more We booked an experience outside & was waiting at Boreal Mountain for our reserved time, but what should have been 10 mins to the Winery, was going to take us 1 hour, because of the snowstorm! We immediately called to see if we could reschedule as we know we would be back. They said we could come another day. Yay! We decided to go back when there wasn't a blizzard. Lol. We also upgraded our experience from smores & fireplace outdoors, to a YURT! Best decision ever & it was our BEST winery experience ever! It was just perfect & magical! The yurt had 2 heaters, but we quickly turned one off. It wAs equipped with blankets & pillows! It was so cozy feeling. Our table was so nicely decorated, like out of a magazine! The experience came with a charcuterie board and 5 wine tastings. Everything was so good! Not a fan of White wine, but it's something about high elevation wineries...makes white taste yummy! Ambiance was cozy, without the cold snow! We absolutely loved everything about it & we are super happy we booked it! This is a must to visit in Truckee!

    Had reservations on a Saturday afternoon. There was only 1 person working. We were seated and asked…read morefor food, to which we we're told there was absolutely nothing available to eat despite it being on the menu. We waited for the waitress to come back, but she never did so we got up and left and found Alibi and that wad definitely a fantastic time!

    We keep coming back to Truckee Tavern every time we're in town, and it keeps earning it. The food…read moreis reliable across the board, which is harder than it sounds for a full-service bar and grill. The mushroom quinoa veggie burger and the half-pound cheeseburger are our go-to orders and have never let us down. The coffee roasted carrots are genuinely worth ordering. They're not what you'd expect, and they're good enough that we've ordered them the last two times. The 10 oz. bistro filet is worth trying if you're in the mood for something more substantial. Portions are solid without being excessive. The bar is a real draw. Full bar, decent wine list, and the service at the bar is attentive without being pushy. The cocktails are well made. The old fashioned in the photo says everything you need to know. What surprised us most: the to-go orders are actually good. We've been burned by to-go from places we love before, so this was a pleasant surprise. Quality holds up. They take reservations and handle groups well. Go ahead and book ahead if you're coming on a weekend. Get the carrots. Order a cocktail at the bar while you wait for your table.

    Usually our absolute fave! But quality is slipping. Not sure why... and so sad about it!…read more This place has been so special to us for years. Amazing service. Dynamite and delicious food. The best roasted carrots (usually!) But the other night we took friends there after raving. Hats off to the amazing host for seating us even though we accidentally made the wrong reservation date (their friendly service is still stellar!!) My pork chop was overcooked even after saying let the chef decide how to cook it. Dry and hard to cut. The normally amazing roasted carrots? Meh. Had a strange taste we didn't like. Maybe the coffee rub? Just seemed hard and flavorless. And my husband and son shared a ribeye that was overdone even though they asked for medium rare. Too tough on outside for sure. The mashed potatoes still rock. And they were out of TWO their signature cocktails. Poor planning? Or take it off the menu. Not sure if the chef or management has changed but I really really hope they get it back together. As I said, this place has meant a lot to us over the years. Hope it was just an off night?

    10/10!!!! Potentially the best pizza I've ever had!…read more Absolutely recommend this spot if you're craving a really good pizza! They loaded the toppings to the max and it was amazing. We each got a Pizzete (perfect size for one person + leftovers and you get to customize it however you like) and the Caesar salad. Hands down the BEST Caesar I have ever had! The dressing was so flavorful, love when you can taste the garlic and anchovy in there. They also pleasantly surprised us with 2 big garlic sticks on top of the salad. Was a great meal and very easy to bring home and eat after a busy day. Will definitely be coming back next time I'm in the area!

    The pasta bread was really yummy!! The garlic butter was amaaaaazing! My boyfriend and I agreed…read morethough it should be on the side, but minor detail. We ordered the chicken parmigiana and the bbq chicken pizza. They were okay. The chicken parmigiana came with pesto pasta, which was a bit bland, but the chicken parmigiana itself had so much extra cheese and sauce, you can make the pesto pasta a regular spaghetti. The bbq chicken pizza was okay. I liked the bbq sauce, but my boyfriend wish there was more of it. Get the pasta bread! Or order an entree that comes with it, like we did with the chicken parmigiana! My boyfriend also got some beers, but he wanted a glass of wine, which apparently they ran out.
