I was about to give 5 stars but...Our food came at 10:15. My wife remembered she had eggs last time we were here and she enjoyed them. She asked for eggs and since she didn't see them and they told her no at 10:50 (while I'm eating eggs in front of her) website says 10:45-11:00am they stop breakfast on Sunday. Sad they couldn't hook up a customer already seated eating breakfast. We did order the avocado toast for a vegetarian and it came w bacon. That was my fault and they did fix it. I think they were upset about that. Kinda why I cook at home these days when I used to go out daily. Food was good.

I recently got the piece of the Crinkle Cake and a Maple Donut. Both Amazing and I think the Maple Donut was the best I've ever had.

Terrific food and service! My chicken Thai wrap was delicious--just perfect. It was so big, I took home half for dinner and enjoyed it again. Hubby had the cheeseburger and fries--also huge and excellent! We will be back! Spotlessly clean, and the pastries looked great too.

The food was delicious. My BLT was the best I've ever had. And I've had a lot of them. I suggest you get in there and try it!

Ever since I laid eyes on this menu, I knew that I needed to get to this restaurant. And after…read morehaving another friend with young kids suggest it to me last summer, it was on my radar this year in a big way. So when I found myself in Tahoe City towards the start of shoulder season and realized I was right next to it, this was the first place we came for a meal. I was absolutely not disappointed by this restaurant. F rom the minute you walk in, the whole space has a great laid-back mountain adventure but elevated vibe, and that carries right over to the menu where you find inspired dishes that seem familiar but have either global or mountain twists put on them. As a parent with the young children, coming here was also a great treat because there is a killer little playroom in the lobby of the hotel that keeps little ones contained while you enjoy the cozy atmospheres alongside a cocktail and consider your life and dinner choices at the same time. This restaurant is located inside the Evo Hotel, so I feel like staying here would be a beautiful decision because you could enjoy your room, come down to the bar for a cocktail, head back outside to enjoy the mountain air, and then enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner at this fabulous restaurant too. On the drink side, I tried their classic daiquiri that hit on all the notes. What a way to start the meal. I followed that up with the spicy lemon-drop-esque cocktail, which was so well balanced it blew my mind. Tart, tangy, with just a hint of sweetness to bring it all together. So good I had to get up and tell the bartenders! For food, I locked in on the ceviche and wings, both of which were solid and good portions. One son had the pork belly bao while the other went for the kids tenders, both of which were also very good. Nothing gets phoned in here. There's a handmade touch and thought behind it all. Where we fell short had to be the server. She was fine and managed all our needs very well, she just wasn't that warm or friendly. I know things are slowing down, but every guest is an opportunity to bring in more, so why not go a little beyond expected? All in all, this one is on my list forever now. I'm excited to return soon and hope to stay at the hotel too!

Beautiful Location and Good Food, but Extremely Disappointing Service…read more I rarely write Yelp reviews but this experience was disappointing enough that I felt compelled to share it. My boyfriend and I visited Sierra Surf Club on Saturday around 12:30 PM. The restaurant has a beautiful lake view, charming atmosphere, and good food. Unfortunately, the service was some of the worst I've experienced in Tahoe, especially for a restaurant rated 4 out of 5 stars. Upon entering, we waited approximately five minutes without being acknowledged, despite an employee walking right past us. My boyfriend eventually had to flag someone down to get seated. The restaurant wasn't particularly busy, which made the lack of attentiveness even more disappointing. Our server never introduced herself (her name ended up on our receipt as Sophia) and came across as cold, dismissive, and almost annoyed that we were there. I ordered a mocktail she personally recommended, but it never arrived. She never acknowledged the missing drink or apologized, and it wasn't on our final bill despite my watching her write down the order. She checked on us only once, briefly, while walking past, yet appeared attentive to other tables. The food was good, especially my brisket sandwich, and the woman working in the little shop was genuinely warm and welcoming. I only wish we'd received that same hospitality from our server. We were so disappointed that we drove to The Ritz-Carlton afterward, where we received exceptional service despite ordering very little. I understand the Ritz is a luxury hotel and not a direct comparison, but basic courtesy and hospitality shouldn't depend on the establishment or how much someone spends. Everyone deserves to feel welcome. I've visited Tahoe countless times and have never experienced service that made me feel so unwelcome. It left such a poor impression that we decided to spend the remainder of our stay in Truckee rather than Tahoe City. It's unfortunate because Sierra Surf Club has so much potential, but good food and a beautiful location cannot make up for poor hospitality. Based on our experience, I genuinely don't feel the overall 4-star Yelp rating reflects the service we received.

Sierra Surf Club - Ribs- so good.

Ribs- so good.

Sierra Surf Club - Lettuce wraps/ only thing I'd skip. The texture of the mushroom with the ice berg did not go well at all too mushy.
