We also love that they love dogs and our pet friendly. They have a beautiful wraparound patio that allows you to sit outside with your pups. We have only gone for breakfast and it is our go-to breakfast spot. We share the omelette and potatoes and that is enough for the two of us. It is a very hearty meal and comes with your choice of toast. The last time we were there, we opted for the same omelette, but with grits. They didn't have to accommodate a small cup of cajun grits, but they did. We will continue to come back because the food is fresh, delicious, and very well portioned. We are really hoping they get an espresso machine sometime soon! The drip coffee is great, but a nice latte would be even better.

I didn't even know that that was possible but we were in the mood to try something new. We sat at the bar around 2:30 PM on Valentine's Day because they don't do to go orders. (Not to self) 10 minutes after we sat down there was a line. There were only a 3 people eating plus us , but this place gets waves of people at all hours. It's best to try it at opening or in between lunch and dinner. We've had other items there like the jambalaya, which is just OK, nothing special. The peel and eat shrimp is a highlight if you're looking for an appetizer and you're willing to put in the work. Service was great and attentative.

It's inside Golden Nugget. I'm rating 3.5 round to 4 stars. This bar seats about 14. We had a party of 5 and had a section to ourselves at the end. We got the House Roast Pan Roast and New England Clam Chowder. I was surprised they brought out the Pan Roast first. Right before we finished, we asked if the chowder was still coming out. I think they forgot. We also had to ask for crackers. The soup was thick with lots of clams. The pan roast was decent. It was thick and creamy with bits of crab, tons of shrimp, lobster, seafood. It came with a side of rice. The oysters were good. Forgot to ask where from. We had some Bloody Mary oyster shooters and a glass of MIO sparkling sake. That was refreshing, sweet just like moscato. You start out with two rolls of bread and can always ask for more which we did to dip with the chowder and pan roast.

It was rainy, and so everybody was indoors, and it was kind of crowded, but that's a testament to the quality of the food. Our bartender, Maddy, was energetic and friendly, and it didn't hurt that she grew up six doors down on our street. My wife, ever the hugger, was thrilled to see her, and you could tell they had a mutual fondness for each other. So if you're into day drinking, and it's a Sunday, this is a great stop. Quality, alcohol, friendly faces, what look like good food, and a clean and pleasant environment made this the place to stop. Rest assured, we will be back

We had a confirmed reservation for eight at 1:00 pm on a Friday following a wedding ceremony. What should have been a joyful post-wedding lunch became frustrating due to the general manager's attitude. Although the reservation was made, we were told they could not ensure the table that would comfortably fit eight adults -- several over 6 feet tall. We were also informed they would not guarantee any table even a few minutes early so we could place simple floral arrangement on it before bride arrived. Our party was fully prepared to order off the regular menu and pay whatever it took for what would likely have been a one-hour lunch. During the conversation, the manager repeatedly emphasized that they are "always busy," which felt dismissive rather than helpful. The overall tone came across as VERY condescending, especially given the occasion. For a restaurant known for hospitality, this was disappointing. The lunch was booked at another restaurant. Sadly, none of us will be back to The Pink House while the current manager is employed there.

Well greeted, attentive without hovering, and they took really good care of us throughout the night. They also hooked it up with a few birthday extras which I definitely appreciated. Ambience is very old school steakhouse. Big booth, pillows, kind of classic and comfortable in that traditional way. Food was... meh. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out either. The steak itself was fine, but the bacon wrap was not good and kind of threw the dish off. Escargot was interesting, honestly the best part was the pastry on top more than the escargot itself.

Find me a better dining view and I'll try it!…read more I had been 11 years since going back to Fridays Station, no fault of the restaurant it just wasn't in the cards during other Tahoe visits. 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

I look forward to working with her again next year when our group gets back together.

Crystal Bay Steak and Lobster House is one of my favorite restaurants in Reno/Tahoe…read more I always get the filet mignon with the bernaise sauce and it never disappoints. I ordered the garlic mashed and this time it had a yummy savory gravy on top. My wife ordered the Sea Bass and raved about it, and cleaned her plate which almost never happens anywhere. Sea Bass had a crispy crust with pistachios and herbs and spices that was nothing short of fantastic. A light flaky fish that didn't taste fishy seasoned to perfection ..... 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!!

If I could write a review with less than 1 star i would. This is the most unprofessional business I…read morehave ever worked in over 35 years of doing business. We referred this business to our client staying in Lake Tahoe and they secured 2 nights worth of services and the Chef received her money and never showed for either service. My client called to reconfirm the service ahead and she never called them back. She never returned our phone calls about refunding the monies that were paid to her and never answered any emails after she received payment. Absolutely the worst Chef I have ever worked with. I am totally embarrassed that I referred this chef to my VIP guests and she has been removed completely from our preferred vendor list. DO NOT BOOK. She deserves to be taken to court over this type of behavior.

Our family paid Alexis at Crave Lake Tahoe a deposit of over $10,000 for a wedding dinner in Olympic Valley in August. 2. Alexis and a couple of her workers were over 1 hour late. 3. She claims she provided food for 180 people. We had 130 people. With 3-4 tables left to serve, (approx. 30-40 guests) they ran out of food. Those that did not eat included 4 children. 4. The beef was overcooked, the chicken was undercooked and the food was served in dollar tree type aluminum pans and plastic bowls. There was nothing provided to keep hot food hot or cold food cold. 5. Water was not served and they did not have anyone to bus the tables. 6. I received 5 reports of people getting sick after the dinner. 7. After the dinner, I spoke with the Chef and let her know how disappointed our family was/is with their lousy food and service. I told her I have been going to and planning large events for over 30 years and I have never experienced anything this. Her response was "I have people to pay, I need the final payment". I told her there is no way I would ever consider paying her for her horrible food and service. I told her she had no business being in business and she ruined our kids wedding. The only thing she cared about was the money. There was never any mention of making things better, a refund, or an apology. 8. If anyone reading this review is so inclined, I suggest contacting the Better Business Bureau and any other organization that may monitor businesses like Crave Lake Tahoe that scam people. This experience felt like a crime.

For food, we ordered the fried ahi, Kalani's wings, short ribs and heavenly rolls. Everything was over-sauced/overdressed, and that's coming from me who is a self proclaimed condiment/sauce queen. We were surprised the fried ahi and the ahi in the heavenly rolls were cooked through and through. Expected the ahi in the rolls to be raw and the fried ahi to be at least flash fried. What a waste of ahi. We'd return for the drinks, which were a steal at $10/ea, but would probably skip the food. Or try the two that we don't order: the fried calamari and garlic fries. Service was nice and friendly!
