    After a hard morning of pickleball, we decided to check out Bayou Bites for lunch. We ordered the shrimp po' boy, Cajun poutine, and mac & cheese. The po' boy was absolutely delicious--so good that I came back a few days later just to get another one. The poutine and mac & cheese were solid as well, though the shrimp po' boy was definitely the standout for us. Would recommend--and I've already returned.

    Super excited to have this place in Gardnerville! We came in this evening and ordered a bunch of stuff to go. Shrimp and crawfish roll, small greens, small Mac and cheese, poutine, bread pudding and shrimp basket. After we ordered we waited about 40 minutes for our order. The cashier asked us a few times what we were waiting for.... Not sure what was going on. The restaurant was empty but they had a steady pace of people coming in for to go orders As for the rating on the food: -Collard greens- 5 stars- the best! -Macaroni and cheese- 4 stars because it Was so cold it couldn't have been warm when we left with it. -Shrimp and Cajun roll- 5 stars perfect amount of seafood, sauce and roll was fresh -Poutine- 5 stars great value for amount. Perfect amount of seasoning, gravy, and cheese. -Shrimp basket- 4 stars- great flavor but quantity seems like it should be more next to the poutine. -bread pudding- 5 stars perfect amount of bread and sauce. Just the right amount of sweetness Overall 4 stars due to the wait and it seeming like the staff were disorganized asking so many times what we were waiting for. Will definitely be back to try some of their other items but will probably call ahead next time!

    I had to eat half before picture. lol

    So here's a good plan, have a huge lunch and then discover there's a new restaurant a mile from your house. That's what happened to me this afternoon and knowing my love of southern food I needed to immediately investigate. It's not a bad thing, I had a full stomach and so on this visit, I was unable to taste anything. This evaluation is based on how friendly the folks were, and, yes, my wife explained our situation and we were thanked for stopping in and given a to go menu. I will be back and I look forward to providing a more comprehensive evaluation. For now, five stars based on friendliness, the way the place smelled, and the fact that there were two people waiting for their food to go. Mind you they've been open for three days. We can't wait.

    Very impressed with everything we ordered. Will definitely be back! Hoping one day they'll have ox tails and plain beignets. We took a red beans and rice home and my hubby says that will tell him if it legit. Well I say everything I tasted was amazing!!

    I was very excited to try this place and still am glad i came. I give grace knowing it's their first week open. Prepare for long wait times. My shrimp and crawfish roll took over 30 minute's. This roll was huge and I love how they toasted the bun. The seasonings were vibrant and delicious. There was a good amount of shrimp and crawfish, and each bite was perfect. I will give them some time to get through the grand opening times and flaws, however, I will definitely be back to try more items on the menu! It's great to have some different styles of food in gardnerville.

    Beignets with a lemon flavored warm sauce.

    So happy to have a new restaurant in the ranchos that isn't Mexican or burgers!!!! We love seafood and Cajun. Everything was well seasoned and perfectly crispy. Cornmeal breading gives a great texture. We can't wait to go back and try more.

    Poutine and catfish basket

    The food is amazing and highly recommended the lemon beignets for desert or a morning treat!!!

To be honest, I was a bit skeptical that it just wouldn't hold up to my memory or previous visits. Boy, was I wrong. We were promptly seated at our reservation time. The service team,Terius and Ruben, were nothing but amazing. I will say if I could dock .5 stars I may, specifically due to the fact that Fridays Station no longer takes the time to decrumb the table. Thsi is so simple and silly to think of docking stars but it was an exceptional piece to dining there. Now the important part, food. Ah-mazing! No really! So good. We had the Blackened Shrimp App, 3 large prawns in a delicious sauce. House salad in which I added the extra prawns sauce to, because why not. I opted to have the Elk Lion and my husband enjoyed the Rack of Lamb special. Both dishes were phenomenal! I mean it! I was so close to ordering the Seabass because of the previous amazing reviews, boy am I glad I didn't! The lamb was delicious, slightly under cooked for my husbands liking but that is a him problem. It was perfect. Normally, we dont get dessert. This was an exception. Of all our previous dinners and views of the restaurant we chose the Baked Tahoe (enough to share with 4 at least). It was quite the indulgence and I am glad we did it! It will not be 11 years that we come back! A+ rating

A+ I've had the Caesar Salad here before and if you check my previous review , i had great things to say about it but on this visit we went with the Caesar prepared table side and it was Awesome!! Matt has a great personality and entertains you with cheesy dad jokes for 5 minutes while you watch him prepare a fabulous Caesar. The dressing is so bright and flavorful , the lemon , garlic , anchovy and vinegar really pop and every bite brought ooohs and ummmms . We've had Matt serve us before and enjoyed chatting with him, I think his positive energy and pleasant personality really stand out, If I was running that restaurant I'd make Matt the head waiter/ manager and have him train all of my staff. Anybody can take your order and bring you your food and then the bill but when you bring a little energy, enthusiasm and personality to a fine dining experience like the Steak and Lobster House, you really hit it out of the park!!! If i could request Matt as my waiter every time i would , great job on the salad and spreading some joy throughout the restaurant !!! Cheers!!

Our concierge told us about Boathouse on the Pier and we decided to go there, although the forecast called for a foot of snow in South Lake Tahoe and three to four feet of snow in the highlands, but supposedly the storm wouldn't hit until after we were back home. Trust the weatherman...... We entered the restaurant just as a gorgeous sunset was shining above menacing storm clouds over the lake. Heck, we figured at least a couple of hours before the storm, so let's eat! We were seated immediately, a part of six, with reservations made the same afternoon. We admired the deck seating and wondered how awesome it would be on a nice cool evening with the sunset.... Ally was our host, waitress and bar hostess. I am (well deservedly) giving five stars because of the exemplary service, great ambiance and delicious food, but... a couple of additional staff would be just the icing on the cake. We had four tables full during our visit, I can imagine on a sunny day, it would be critical mass... The cocktails were outstanding, summery, often experimental. I had a special Margarita that left me wanting more. The other guests had Negronis, different mixes with Aperol, etc. It was a great beginning to a great night. Then the appetizers started rolling in; their succulent Sushi Bites, which are lightly and tenderly battered, Surimi, Avocado, Rice, Wasabi ginger, and Wasabi soy. Superb! We also had the Garlic Parmesan Brussel Sprouts, crispy, aromatic and very tasty, and finally the Baked Brie, with came with pears, roasted garlic, toasted almonds, fig jam and grapes. And then there were the main courses. A splendid assortment of delicacies. I haven't tried Chilean Sea Bass in an eon, and there it was, delicately sautéed with white wine lemon butter, over a bed of wheat berry vegetable melange. Delicious. Another in our party had the Filet Mignon, deliciously medium-rare, with a red wine Demi glaze, and grilled asparagus. The Linguini with Chicken Breast was also yummy, and even their Fish and Chips came with a monumentally sized piece of haddock and delicious chips. Of course, their wine list was par for the course and we chose both a Napa White and Red. And then as we were bloated, Ally came out with the Carrot Cake and Pineapple Sorbet dishes that ended up being totally eaten.... But meanwhile as we were joyfully enjoying our dinner, the storm had moved in. By the time we left, there must have been a good 8 inches on the ground and our hotel was almost at the base of the ski area Tramway. Sporty climb up the street...... A truly wonderful evening. Ally is the best. Great food and ambiance. Again, hopefully in the summer they hire a couple more people......
