We celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary there and we loved every dish we had! I had the lamb chops and my husband had the halibut special. We also shared the house salad. Service was great with our waitress serving everyone in the patio. Definitely make reservations! We will be back for sure! Next time I hope to eat inside! read more

Our group of 8 dined here for our farewell dinner. Our server Lukas was over-the-top amazing. Fun, helpful and kind. Naomi was also amazing. It was a great way to end our family getaway. We sat outdoors and the ambiance was excellent. The bartender served tasty margaritas (can't remember his name). Lukas even brought a birthday dessert for our soon to be 23 year old grandson. read more

We had a great dinner while staying here for skiing. I had a cassoulet with sausage and duck confit. My wife had schnitzel. Both were delicious! Staff were friendly and helpful. We plan to come back next chance we get. read more

Ate here two day straight because we had no where to go due to the storm. First off, service was great both times we were here. All the staff worked well like an oiled machine. 5/5 for service. Jeff was our bartender and he was super sweet and very good and making his specialty drinks. We had a Bloody Mary and old fashion and both were nice and strong. 5/5 for drinks In terms of food however it was a hit or miss. The ratings are as follows per item 5/5 table bread and butter were super yummy. Nice warm sourdough bread with butter 1/5 Gumbo. Tasted muddy and I missed the rice, okra, shrimp. 1/5 for using crawfish mainly but the taste was not right at all 5/5 pepperoni flat bread. My kid likes it 3/5 Kid's spaghetti and meatballs. My kid didn't mind it but I didn't like it. The meatballs lacked seasoning 5/5 Fish and chips were cooked perfectly and was very tasty 2/5 Tuna cones were a bit salty with too much soysauce. A ponzu sauce would have made it more balanced. I didn't like the crepe cones and would have enjoyed a wonton wrapper instead. The tuna, mango, and avocado was nice and fresh. 5/5 Mac and cheese, my kid loved it 3/5 kids burger was dry and was the missing the lettuce we ordered with it 5/5 brownie with ice cream. My kid ate the whole thing without leaving me a taste 3/5 chocolate cake had flavor but was not moist 4/5 Pistachio cheesecake had the right amount of sweetness and the compote was tart enough to balance the cheesecake. I just didn't like the crust. 3/5 decor was a bit outdated, but I loved the fireplace and couch. It was overall nice and cozy. read more

We had a very nice dinner here on a cold winter evening. Our server, Lucas, was very attentive and helpful. There was a small problem with my entree, and he took care of it right away, and then reduced the price by 50%. Our friends really enjoyed the lobster Mac n cheese, pork schnitzel, and smash burger. My cassoulet was also quite good, with a house made sausage, duck and a delicious sauce. Nice cozy atmosphere. read more

Is really super goood !!!!! 100% recommended the food wow thank you chef great view nice outdoor kitchen I love this place read more

Best kept secret in Tahoe City! You cannot go wrong at Cedar House Pub tucked away in the Granlibakken Resort. The food, ambience and staff are all amazing. Summer on the deck under the stars and in the winter enjoy dining in a warm cozy dining room by a roaring fireplace. Food and cocktails are not only delicious, it's a pleasure to see the staff take pride in their service. read more

What a pleasant surprise! Can't believe I had never been to the Cedar House Pub. We went for St Patrick's Day and the food was amazing as were their wine prices. They have some talent in the kitchen!! read more

Food was delicious. Like other reviewers said, fresh warm bread and butter was a great start. Ordered some Brussels sprouts and then our entrees. Kiddo didn't realize that his burger came plain so we asked for lettuce, tomato, and pickles and they brought it over right away. French fries were crispy. read more

Excellent food for reasonable prices. We had a lovely experience on the terrace on a warm summer night looking over the pine forest. I had the trout with green curry and it was very fresh and a great mix of flavors. My boyfriend had the make your own salad with the steak on the side. The salad components were very fresh and high quality. The steak was cooked perfectly and they added a little chimchuri sauce, which was excellent. The service was very attentive. Overall, a great meal in a beautiful atmosphere at a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend! read more

I came here a month ago. It was cozy and welcoming, we got sat at the patio. Very beautiful view. The service was fantastic, we got our food pretty fast! The food was good but it could improve, the pizza was kinda burnt, but it was still a good meal. The chips needed a little more salt, we added some and it didn't taste like anything. Overall it was a 9/10, would come back again. read more

Food was fresh and good with exception of the vegan brussel sprouts. They probably would have been good regular (with the parmesan and pancetta). They seemed short staffed as service was a bit slow. The hostess stepped up and helped. I love the lodge's cozy atmosphere. Next time I'll have a drink by the fireplace. They have a rewards program via Toast and you get 25 pts just for signing up. Scored $14 off after dining here. read more

Have been to Tahoe a number of times and have no idea how I missed this place for so long! So glad to have finally discovered this gem... food was delicious (rarely have found a true chicken under a brick in the US) and the cozy ambiance was perfect on a snowy night. read more

Nice atmosphere on the deck in the summer and cozy and warm in the winter inside . Great friendly service. The menu offers something for everyone. My favorites are the Build a Salad and the Ahi. Very reasonably priced wine list... you can actual get a glass of wine for $8! There are lots of choices on the higher end too. I love that you can either walk in (can get busy in the summer) or make a reservation. read more

A welcoming atmosphere, great food. They are now open on their deck/patio for the summer.

Amazing experience here. Lucas sat and served us. He was very kind and helpful. Went just for some drinks but the chef offered us a delicious walnut caramel cheesecake. Definitely will be trying the food next time. read more

Best meal experience in Tahoe. The friendliest staff, From the servers to the bartender-Old Jeff, to the chef - Chinese Jeff, they were all great. Margaritas and Mojitos to start and shrimp skewers followed by this amazing burrata with some fantastic cheese and then chicken schnitzel. I loved it. Great deck to dine on, but they are not open late. I'll go again! read more

A great quiet area with a fireplace and full bar. The food is exceptional with attentive service. read more

Food was superb. They had gourmet selections, but also good burgers and pizza. We would go again next time we are in town.

Hygge dreams come true! The most cozy winter dining room, complete with rustic wood cabin interior, large stone fire place sitting area, casual small town atmosphere giving Cheers vibes, and the most hardworking, hospitable staff. Ask for Lukas who year after year has been the most friendly host in the dining room, at the bar, and out back in the woods lumbering away. And the F&B is always offering top tier comforts - tonight's steak & au gratin and Irish coffees really hit the spot. Can't wait to go back. read more

Mixed feelings, I have been here a couple of times when staying at Granlibakken Tahoe for winter trips. We always had great experience dining in, the food was big portioned and very comforting, love their steak, onion soup, chick schnitzel and man the sourdough is legit. However, just ordered their takeout was thinking to order from somewhere close by will at least make the food hot, boy I was so wrong. The beef goulash was cold already when we got our order (even went there early to wait for food, but still), beef already became tough to chew. And the fish and chips, it's probably the worst I've ever had. Stale cold fries, the batter on the fish already soggy and falling apart (how long the food has been sitting there? Why not call us to get it?!), worst yet, no seasoning on the fries (now I started to miss my ski resort friends for lunch... So if you want to go eat here, make reservations and dine in, cuz this would be my last time order their takeout. read more

I have lived in Tahoe for many years and I didn't know about this little gem. Went with the ladies and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. Service was a bit off, but it was a very busy week in Tahoe. Three of us had the flank steak which tasted more like a tenderloin! Delicious! Steaks were accompanied by yummy scalloped potatoes and broccolini. The others had the chicken schnitztel which was also very very good. Nice family atmosphere and the prices were reasonable. Highly recommend. read more

Old-school Tahoe. Unbeatable ski-schloss vibe, solid food, best prices in town. Super friendly service.

This was a cozy little spot at the hotel. Carlos was our server and was truly exceptional! He took the time to explain the menu items and some of the spirits they served. It was my husbands birthday and he brought him out a special treat. He is probably the best server we ever had. All of the other staff were also welcoming and accommodating. Great service all around! read more

It felt like the staff tonight was overly stressed and understaffed. The wait for our food was hitting at about 40 minutes. Got one of the orders wrong. I believe the table next to us were experiencing the same thing. The burger was decent but at $21 plus $2 for bacon and $2 for avocado, for a place that almost turned us away for lack of a reservation, felt a little underwhelming. read more

Super delicious restaurant, amazing staff, and good views. Enjoy coming here for dinner !! Would also be great for lunch or an afternoon snack / tea by the fire. Cozy! read more

Carlos, who I believe I believe the GM is probably the hospitable person I have encountered. He shares all the hot items, and is honest about what sells and what doesn't. So got a hot menu item and one that isn't selling as much, and I'll tell you they were both amazing! We started with two soups, the corn and French onion, and those bowls were empty before they knew what was coming lol. There is a very eclectic menu from anything German with the schnitzel (incredible) to a culotte steak which was just as good and cooked amazing! All staff works together on sections and you are constantly being cared for and attended. The ambience is so warm and cozy, with holiday themed jazz setting the mood for a great dinner in a venue that sets the scene of "lodgy, cozy, and calming". We had just got there at open and we were treated incredibly and they set the fire up with logs and made sure our experience was exemplary. If you're in Tahoe, regardless South or North Lake, this must be a stop! 10/10 would highly recommend. read more

We love this restaurant! The food is really good, especially the Fish and Chips, the Chicken Schnitzel, and the Curry dishes! Jeff, the Bartender, is great at his job! Fabulous drinks, great personality, and interesting to talk with. The ambience is warm and cozy, and everyone is gracious and lovely. This is a great place to go with friends, family, or a date. Make this one of your regular stops. You will be glad! read more

Amazing food with amazing people! Carlos is always willing to add his expertise in the cocktail or food department! Always relaxing to go! (And I'm a local!) read more

We ate outside and it was nice.. kinda felt like you were in a treehouse. Food was just ok. I got the salmon and it was good but cold. Potatoes had no flavor. My son liked his steak sandwich. My husbands hamburger was bad. Definitely not a half pound as advertised. He asked for medium and it was well done and looked more like a pre frozen burger than fresh. For $22 it should be fresh meat or at least look like it. For a $115 tab I expected more. read more

Everything about this place is fantastic! The quality of the food is above all the defining quality for 5 stars, but it's in a cute little resort with a throwback to the 50s and the service and atmosphere is so warm and friendly. We will definitely be back!! read more

What a cozy little pub. It's a bit hard to find as it is inside Granlibakken lodge. They have live music and a great atmosphere. I understand the restaurant is seasonal so be sure to call ahead of time. read more

Cedar House Pub - Chicken Schnitzel - Pubs Near Me - Tahoe City, California

Lucas the sub bartender has no idea what customer service is. He is extremely rude not only to customers but also the other staff.

Great food. The pichana was amazingly tender and flavorful. Chef Gene is very seasoned and been there for decades. They know what they are doing. read more

Experience here was strange to say the least. Started off with a call to confirm our reservation. Someone at the hotel front desk told us there was no phone number for the restaurant and they would pass on a message and call back. No one ever called us back and the receptionist seemed annoyed we would even try to reach the restaurant. The summer menu is very limited. The restaurant has a great setting, but the food offerings are limited to basic salads, burgers, and hot dogs. Seemed odd for a place that brands itself as "comfort food with a gourmet twist". There wasn't a gourmet twist on anything. The menu very clearly stated a hot dog comes with relish and sour kraut and house made chips. When the order arrived the chips were replaced with fries. The hot dog also came with nothing on the side besides ketchup. I'm not sure what is gourmet about a hot dog with a bun and only ketchup. We are talking no relish, no mustard, no anything, just a bun and ketchup. When we asked about the sides that were clearly listed on the menu the staff seemed very surprised we would ask. They returned 15 minutes later and gave me some onions. It became apparent they didn't actually have what was on the menu. In the end it seemed absurd to pay $9 for a Costco hotdog with no toppings. Similarly the house salad that stated it came with blue cheese crumbles had no cheese. Aside from the menu being limited to tailgate food, the service seemed all over the place and there was constant confusion from the wait staff. Someone also took away my girlfriends plate while she was literally in the middle of taking a bite. By the end of dinner we started to wonder if we were on a prank show, and the whole meal was an elaborate joke. The review is two stars instead of one because the physical space is actually pretty cool. The outdoor deck is surrounded by trees and could be an amazing dining experience if done properly. Also, while I understand a lot of restaurants have had challenges with Covid, we visited well after all lockdown restrictions were lifted and every other restaurant we have visited in Tahoe is up and running. read more

Lucky enough to have eaten at the Pub twice in the last month. Both of my meals were excellent and the service was terrific. The Thai curry vegetable bowl with chicken was a menu special mid-week. Very generous portions and deep, satisfying flavor. Most recently, the fish and chips was, in my opinion, the best fish and chips in the north Tahoe area. Two others in our party had the fish special, and they said it was top notch as well. read more

The food is fine, the view is spectacular, but the service will be sure to make this an unforgettable terrible experience. There were so many "little" things, but I would mention only the two most glaring ones: * It took an HOUR AND FIFTY MINUTES for our food to arrive. Yes, you read it right, almost two hours until we got our food. We're not talking about any gourmet complicated stuff - we're talking about salads for the adults and Mac and Cheese for the kids. After 45 minutes, we asked what's going on. We got a response that there was a problem with "printing the ticket". Unfortunate, but mistakes can happen, right? So we assumed they are now going to rush it, right? Wrong. Another hour+ passed with waiters keep promising "it's coming up" and nothing happens. And then, after 1:50 hours, our vegan diner who specifically asked for "no cheese" got her salad... covered with cheese. * We ordered three Mai-Tai drinks. We're not heavy drinkers but we kinda know what Mai-Tai is. All three diners took a sip and immediately said the same thing: It has no alcohol. It was literally just juice. We asked the waiter and he responded that he is absolutely sure there are two shots inside. It was quite clear that wasn't the case (probably an honest mistake) but we didn't want this to escalate to an argument so we simply asked if they can add a shot. His response: "We will have to charge you for the extra shot". So, here we are, ordering a $200+ dinner and negotiation over adding money for another shot to a flawed drink that we already paid for. The worst part: One of the diners just returned their Mai-Tai, almost untouched (probably not a fun of juice). You would imagine they will take it off the bill and charge us for only TWO Mai-Tai's instead of THREE, right? Wrong! We were charged for FOUR Mai-Tai's. Why? I have no idea but at this point, I stopped assuming it was all honest mistakes. As mentioned, there were a lot of other things you wouldn't expect from this kind of place (dirty plates, for example). But you get the picture. Avoid! read more

We were excited to return to the Granlibakken Resort in Tahoe after many years. Their onsite restaurant, Cedar House Pub, is amazing and we ended up eating there 6 of our 7 nights. The whole staff is amazing and the food is great but I want to especially call out Carlos and Lucas for their above and beyond customer service, hospitality and attention to detail. They made us feel like family and it made the entire experience so amazing. Major kudos to Carlos and Lucas. read more

We enjoyed several delicious dinners at Cedar House Pub during our vacation and really enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant. Our waiter, Carlos, was very attentive and took great care of us. I also appreciated the bar tender, Jeff, who had great wine suggestions. We look forward to coming back again! read more
