    Bloody Mary's!

    We decided to explore the area of Tahoe City and signed up to go ice skating. We were pleased to find a quaint lounge to get drinks and lunch here afterward. We had literally the best Bloody Mary's we've ever had (I ended up ordering a second one) and the food was great as well. The two gentlemen behind the bar were extremely friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be returning and are grateful for the excellent service and food/drinks.

    the location is fun: it's next to the Tahoe City golf course so has a nice view that in the winter includes an ice skating rink.

First of all the food we had (Fish tacos and Chicken Enchiladas) were good with reasonably large portions. So if we were just rating the quality of the food this review would be a 4! However, when it came to the ambiance, it left much to be desired. This is definitely a sports bar that has a few tables in the front and a few tables alongside the room of pool tables. The "restaurant" is in a section of the building in the very back. It has a couple of tables outside and a couple inside. They were pretty "minimal". We ordered our food at a counter and it was delivered to our table in the pool table room since the tables in the bar area were occupied. (We chose to eat inside because it was chilly outside). Note: All the tables in the pool table room had dirty dishes and or glasses on them so we asked the people shooting pool whether they were theirs and determined that they were only using one of the tables. Our experience would probably been more positive if we were familiar with the logistics and the lack of esthetics. If you want some pretty good Mexican food to eat at a reasonable price sitting outside or in a noisy bar / pool room you'll probably enjoy it more than we did.

We both got drinks: moscow mule and cucumber mojito, which I really enjoyed. To start, they have a diverse menu so we had a hard time deciding, but we settled on the poke tacos and the onion soup. The onion soup was cozy and cheesy with a rich beef broth. The wonton taco shells were to die for, and we loved the wasabi crème which was the perfect amount of spicy flavor. For meals I got the filet and scampi. My steak was cooked perfectly, so tender, and wrapped in bacon with a little blue cheese sauce on top. A great flavor profile. The shrimp were cooked well, and I loved the sauce. It also came with garlic mashed potatoes which are my favorite. The only thing I would improve is the asparagus were just boiled and a little bland, but I was too full to eat them anyways. My partner got the french dip, which was "the best french dip" he had ever had. I also tried it and agree that that the ribeye meat was so tender and flavorful, au jus added the perfect moisture, and there was a good balance of horseradish flavor. Came with a side of onion rings which were great. The staff were very sweet and gave us a complimentary dessert since we were celebrating our anniversary. We were tempted to come back to this restaurant the following night, but we will definitely be coming back next season.

What we ordered: + Cobb Salad (5/5): Fresh, flavorful, and great portion size. The blue cheese is pretty strong but the amount of bacon and tomatoes provides a nice offset.

The raviolis are full of cheese and there is an ample amount of meat distributed throughout the sauce. + Mountain Mule (5/5): Strong lime flavor, strong spritz taste!

Items ordered: Medium half cheese half pepperoni pizza- good and loved that the crust was perfect for us (not too thick or thin) Chicken nuggets with fries- They use cornmeal and my kiddo did not enjoy this texture but it tasted fine. Large Cobb salad- large salad filled with fresh ingredients! So good! Small Greek salad- good salad and fresh ingredients Garlic cheesy bread- kiddo and hubby enjoyed this but it was too cheesy for me. Overall quality of food 3.5 stars. Service and ambiance- 4.
