The $4 beer is a must, and I am so glad they've kept a cheap option on the menu. The chicken tenders plus the pretzel with beer cheese are perfect options on a quick lunch break. They get busy but always hustle to get everyone's food and drink out. Just sit back (by the fireplace if you can snag that spot) and enjoy the feel of a true old-school ski bar. Don't come in expecting a fussy, bougie experience...you're at Kirkwood, not Palisades. And that's why we love it!

Cons: no curtains. They finally brought us one and we used a sheet for the other slider. The oven had grease all over the bottom so it smoked the cabin out. The railing is not to code. Just a 2x4 across it. My little old dog fell off the deck. So if you have a child I would recommend a different cabin. My dog is sore but she is okay.

Cocktails were delicious, our favorite food items were the pork belly, which was complimented nicely with purple slaw, the chicken thighs, with a sauce and balsamic glaze you could put on anything, and the braised short rib, that could've been more fall apart, but still fantastic flavor and the potato puree was the perfect side. I also wanted to give a special shoutout to our waiter, Andres, who made this night extra special. Not only was it my girlfriend's birthday, but this was the night I asked her to officially be my girlfriend (she said yes!) with the help of Andres and the rest of the staff, it was the perfect evening and I can't thank them enough.

I like to get the nachos, which are simple, but I love the tortilla chips and cheese that they use. It's also a relatively large portion that can definitely be shared by two people. The fresh juices are good as well, especially to fuel up before heading to the lake for the day. My favorite is the beet zinger.

Came here twice while in Tahoe for a few days as my husband loves it. I enjoyed the Turkey melt and…read moreTahoe Turkey half sandwich with house salad. My husband got the nachos with turkey and classic burrito with turkey. Everything was extremely fresh and loaded with sprouts and veggies. I enjoyed the turkey melt more than the Tahoe turkey sandwich, mainly because I'm not the biggest fan of green chiles on my sandwich. They also make homemade honey mustard dressing that they out on a lot of things. I'm not usually a fan, but this came on my salad without me knowing and I was able to eat it. Portion sizes are pretty large. They have indoor and outdoor seating. You order at the counter and they bring your food out to your table. There is limited parking, but we didn't have a problem getting a spot or street parking either time we visited. Great spot if looking for a healthy bit of freshness while away.

Stonefly Restaurant in Markleeville is the best dining in the Carson Valley area period stop. It's…read morea true gem that feels like it could (and should) have a Michelin star. We've been coming here for years and even have known some of the staff since high school....! What makes Stonefly so special is that whether you're a longtime local or a first-time visitor, the Saletti family and their incredible team treat you like family from the moment you arrive. The service is always warm, attentive, and genuinely joyful. These are some of the sweetest, most talented people you'll ever meet in a restaurant. We came to celebrate the second night of my wife's birthday weekend (LOL) and, as usual, started with a beautiful progression of appetizers. The macadamia nut and Parmesan crusted calamari, sautéed and finished with that bright, silky lemon beurre blanc, is our favorite...! Perfectly crisp, tender, and so flavorful that we ordered a second round...! We also loved the fresh steamed clams and the expertly seared ahi tuna, artfully presented with pickled onions and crisp ginger and a large lump of wasabi and an amazing dipping sauce. Every dish showcases fresh ingredients and masterful wood-fired technique with that perfect Northern Nevada-Italian fusion. With such outstanding starters, we happily skipped a main to save room for dessert and what a decision that was....! As we finished our second calamari, the entire team: owner Faith Saletti and her wonderful staff gathered around our table to sing a lively, heartfelt "Happy Birthday" to my wife. It was one of those rare, magical moments that feels completely genuine and unforgettable. Her chocolate cake was a rich, decadent masterpiece: moist, intensely flavorful, and elegantly plated with whipped cream and a delicate edible flower. My coconut cake was ethereally light and fluffy, with tender layers, toasted coconut, and cloud-like whipped cream, finished with a beautiful floral garnish. Both desserts, made with obvious love by Faith, were absolutely divine. Stonefly isn't just a restaurant, it's a warm, soulful experience in the heart of the Sierra Nevada. The food is outstanding, the hospitality is world-class, and the setting on the charming patio is relaxed and inviting. As locals who have enjoyed many meals here, we can confidently say it's worth every visit. Whether you live nearby or are just passing through the Lake Tahoe area, don't miss it. We'll keep coming back for special occasions and ordinary ones alike. Five enthusiastic stars and our highest recommendation. Thank you, Stonefly, for another wonderful evening!

Gayle recently took me out to dinner here on a pleasant Friday evening. My 70th (!) birthday was…read morethe next Monday and Stonefly is where we both wanted to go to Dinner. This place has been on our list for at least a couple years, and we finally worked up the incentive to take the scenic drive to Markleeville. As we decided just a few days before, our reservation choices were 4:30 at a Table or 6 PM at the bar. We reserved the 4:30 spot and were seated at a nice table as one of the first parties inside the door. In the hour and a half (ish) that were here, the place filled up nicely, even witnessing a family of 3 being turned away for lack of a reservation. We both enjoyed the happy energy, the engaging staff and patrons, and our view into the kitchen. Our experience was fabulous, with the only "opportunity for improvement" being that Gayle's rack of lamb was just slightly overcooked (for her taste). We also left thinking that it would be great to come back in the summer when the patio was open. I would describe the indoor space of Stonefly being cozy, warm, and welcoming, with service that matched. I chose the 5 ounce filet (with Gorgonzola), mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. We both enjoyed our choices, plus the prosciutto wrapped asparagus spears as an appetizer, a couple nice glasses of wine, and of course the carrot cake with a candle and song at the end. In fact, we took the cake home for later as we were really full after a meal like that. I'm sure we'll be back and with friends and/or family. Stonefly's limited hours and restaurant space will require a little extra well worth it planning. And short of maybe the Caples Lake Resort, there's really nothing in the immediate area that compares.

Love the staff, the vibes, and the high quality, delicious bowls and food! Best Açaí in Carson!read more

I am so torn about So Juicy. While I think the concept of a fresh local smoothie shop is great,…read morethere are some cracks in the foundation. I have been to So Juicy a small handful of times, but most recently was to check out the smoothie and juice selection. I have always been put off by the pricing here. It's nearly $10 for a juice or a smoothie. Many other reviews mention the high pricing, and many reviews also mention that the portion sizes are mediocre. I agree with that. While the juices and smoothies are good, the high prices deter me from returning. Comparing So Juicy to another local shop that recently opened in Gardnerville, that place wins in both selection, taste, and pricing. The service here can also be iffy. Sometimes they are super fast and kind. Other times, it seems that they are irritated that you walked in. I have never been here when it's busy. It's almost always deserted when I visit. If you choose to hang out, they do have many large tables inside. So Juicy is 100% better than a chain shop like Keva or Jamba, but I think there is certainly room for improvement in both service and pricing.
