    Burrata
    Ansley I.

    We came in here on a bit of a whim. We heard you needed a reservation but we didn't have one. Luckily, the bar had great vibes and there were seats open for us two. You definitely need reservations though, we heard a good amount of people being turned away that didn't have reservations. Everything was great here - the staff were kind and the food was incredible. It's tapas style so we ordered the Brussels sprouts, burrata, and filet. All three were great but the Brussels sprouts stole the show. I can't wait for us to come up and visit again.

    A cute tapas place where we least expected for one to exist . Not a classic Spanish place but the food was great and the service was solid . We ordered few plates : the beef sliders were very good and the meat was yummy , the farro dish was also yummy and original , the burrata was fresh and tasty (wish there were some more of the little toasts ) and the mac n cheese was pretty good as well ! I do recommend it as nice place for dinner if you're in the incline village vicinity

    I've driven by here many times and always wondered what was inside. I was pleasantly surprised to find a huge and elevated restaurant space. Our server was very attentive and helpful in ordering for a large group. Everything was tasty and they had something for everyone

    Nice vibe as you walk into the space! Friendly and attentive service! Menu is full of delicious choices to tempt all appetites. We enjoyed the fried chicken sliders, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower (so good), the ahi bites were outstanding...we had room for dessert so we had to get the pot of chocolate! We will be back!

    What a lovely place for a lovely date night of tapas. Just the right amount for two. The food is flavorful and the drinks were delicious. Don't skip on dessert either!

    Amazing food! It's my go-to! I bring my guests here every time. It does get busy, so highly recommend making reservations My favorites: -Scallops (red Thai curry sauce brings a smooth texture, and kimchi provides a sharp acidic texture to the dish. It creates a delightful fusion of flavor) -roasted beets and carrots -local kombucha (love that it comes in a wine glass!) -Jicama wraps (vegan): this used to be my favorite. I've been finding myself finding the faux meat to be dry recently If there's only one advice I can give, they can improve on their dessert

    This is my favorite restaurant in Incline! Great cocktails and great food, especially ahi slider! When my friends told me about ahi slider I wasn't up for it because ahi and slider doesn't sound good together but boy it's so delicious, from the soft bun to yummy sauce, great cut of tuna, all together it's like a dream come true!! And service is good but maybe because my friend knows everybody there. I will definitely have another meal or snack here again and I'd like to try another cocktails as well!!

    We made reservations here again because we loved it so much during our last visit to Tahoe--and it did not disappoint! The food is still incredible. The tapas were perfectly portioned, and we left completely satisfied. Our favorite dish was definitely the lobster bites--so good! We also tried the fries (crispy and classic), lobster sliders, halibut tacos, and grilled prawns with veggies. Everything was delicious and full of flavor. Service was just okay this time, but it seemed like they were pretty busy, so that might have been a factor. I definitely recommend making a reservation if you're planning to come during the dinner rush.

    We arrived earlier than our 8 pm reservation. We'd hoped we could get in earlier but knew it might not happen. A waitress made note of it then promptly offered to put in a bar order. We enjoyed a drink and waited about 20 minutes. Everyone kept checking on us and were super friendly. Once sat in the main dining (recommend as bar area is noisy). We enjoyed our dinner. Star was always attentive and our waitress very helpful and wiling to make adjustments to our plant based wyw of life. The Jicama wraps BLEW us way. Like I am STILL DREAMING ABOUT THEM. Almost ordered for dessert. Rivals any meat tacos! We also enjoyed the Shrimp over slaw, the Scallops and the Beets and Carrots. 3 shared tapas was enough for me. Hubby says 4. They are big portions! They were nice to put a candle in an ice cream cookie dessert apart from the dessert we ordered. This place was a gem, well run (owner was there helping in every aspect), and the food and service stellar. I will only be able to keep dreaming of those Jicama Tacos, sadly we departed the area soon after. m

    During our weekend stay in the Lake Tahoe area this was my favorite place that we visited for a meal! I was super impressed with the whole experience - service, food, ambiance, everything! The food was absolutely fantastic, everything was so flavourful and we also didn't have to way long for everything to come out. It's a tapas restaurant so everything came out as prepared so be aware of that if you're not familiar with tapas. Myself and my husband shared 4 plates and that was plenty for 2 people but if you're unsure of what to choose our server was very warm and friendly and was able to answer any questions we had. I honestly can't say enough positive things about this place. Make sure to make a reservation on their website if you're looking to visit this place!

    Bite restaurant is a tapas restuarant with nice decor and tasty (albiet pricy) menu options. As soon as we walked in, we could tell time and energy had been put into the decor and design, which contained several pretty wood pieces. My party of three had the following food items: ahi tuna sliders (5/5; really delicous, the sauce on this dish really brought the flavors together beautifully), lobster sliders (4/5; nice pieces of lobster claw, but could have used a sauce. It was somewhat bland in flavor), spicy ahi tuna tartare (3.5/5; the tuna had nice flavor but wasn't anything spectacular. It almost felt as though the chef didn't fully commit to making spicy tuna on crispy rice as the rice was slightly hard but not fried, so the texture contrast was missing), scallops (5/5; really delicious! This dish came with grits and had a sauce that reminded me of Tom Kha Gai; overall, a really beautiful combination but sadly the dish was only luke warm), beef carpaccio (5/5; quite good! The best carpaccio I've had in a while), and lamb shank (5/5; very nicely cooked with a tasty sauce and somewhat decent portion). I had the Dire Wolf cocktail, which was nice but nothing particularly memorable. Sadly, my mother did not enjoy their wine selection, but the waitress was very accommodating and clearly tried to find a beverage my mother would enjoy. Overall, Bite has very good quality and tasty food, but all of their tapas (small plates) are priced the same as any other fine dining entree and the drinks were a bit disappointing, so I'm not sure I'd come again.

    It's been a few years since we visited Bite, not because the food or service were lacking but because it tends to attract a lot of tourists and there were other, less-crowded options nearby. Now with once-neighboring Fredrick's shuttered (R.I.P.), Bite has little competition in the immediate vicinity. On a quiet Saturday afternoon, we decided to have an early supper at the bar complete with our usual go-tos: deviled eggs, bacon-wrapped-and-cheese-stuffed dates, and fries. We also tried the chicken sliders for the first time, which didn't disappoint even my picky red-meat-obsessed hubby. Everything came out quickly and was as good as we remember. I love the size and texture of the limp shoestring fries; though the seasoning was a little strong, the accompanying aioli was great. Bartended Ben, who has been here from the very beginning, took care of our cocktail and wine needs. I tried the gin cocktail with lime, and hubby had the mezcal and later switched to bourbon. All the cocktails are hand crafted before your eyes and delicious. It's nice to see this small strip-mall space evolve over the last decade or so. The ceiling soundproofing has done wonders for the acoustics in the uncarpeted bar area. While the simple, minimalist Tahoe decor hasn't changed much, it's comforting to come back to a place and instantly be transported back to the memories made several years ago. It is also nice to find yourself at a bar where strangers and neighbors alike can chat and compare dishes. If you go, arrive early to beat the crowds.

    Ask the Community - Bite American Tapas

    Do they still have Happy Hour?

    We do not have a happy hour at this time.

    Do they serve hard liquor?

    Yes we have a full bar!

    I see that reservations are booked for early Friday evening... do you still take walk ins? Also, do you serve to go?

    I'm sure they will let you in if they can squeeze you in. But it's not super big. I'm sure they will serve to go. But I think it's better if you can eat there. Some of the dishes just work better eaten immediately. Tasty place, though.

    Kid friendly? Take reservations?

    Yes, kid friendly! And yes, they take reservations!

    Are dogs allowed at this restaurant?

    No

I'll say right off, I'm giving them 4-stars since I had time to just grab one drink and a snack. I'm sure when I come back and can hang out for longer, the next review will easily bump up to the 5-star level. Firstly, this is a cool hole in the wall, very nice ambiance, and set back in a way that makes it feel a bit like a speakeasy. The decor is very stylish and atmospheric, with plenty of comfy chairs and spaces at the bar, and the staff were quite friendly. And while I'm not the biggest fan of these in here, the bar has many countertop video poker machines, should you be inclined to play. This is a full bar, so they have plenty of selections for wine, beer, and spirits. But the main attraction are their house cocktails. Only had time to try one on this visit, but that Saffron Sazerac was very interesting indeed, and definitely makes me want to swing by and try more of their menu. And should you need something to snack on, they also have a small menu of bar bites, which is just enough to hit the spot. And as for prices, I found them pretty darn reasonable, especially given this is Tahoe, we're talking about. So yeah, all said, I have been fairly impressed with Gaviota. Definitely going to keep them on my short list of drinking spots on North Shore, and I think anyone looking for a classy beverage will love it here too. Hope to swing by again soon.

The scallops were done right seared on both sides and the polenta was creamy and full of flavor. Then came the Spaghetti Bolognese which I was looking forward to. It looked appealing but once I tried it the flavor was not what I expected. It was a meat sauce but not a traditional bolognese. It had a different flavor with no tomatoes I think it was mainly wine based. Unfortunately I was expecting a traditional bolognese and it threw me off. And I asked for bread and they didn't have any. I took the dessert home a yellow cake with cream and a raspberry sauce. It was very good. The main thing I'm disappointed with is the Spaghetti Bolognese being not a traditional bolognese. I have eating breakfast here before and it was quite good.

Maybe it was what we ordered, but this meal was pretty good...frankly, we were pretty surprised. My wife and I split both the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and the Crosby Burger. Both dishes were tasty. I asked for them to swap out ranch dressing for the BBQ sauce on the Burger, and we ordered the clam chowder for the side. The chowder was pretty good too. The homemade chips as the side with the chicken sandwich was a highlight. The only negative was that we asked for more ranch dressing, and they never told us (until we discovered it when we got our bill) that they would be charging us $2 for that. Bottom line: Still just an OK place and still a bit tired, but we'd consider it again for lunch sometime.
