The service was impeccable, and the food was phenomenal. We did the preset menu. I had the jidori chicken and the wife had the filet mignon. I cannot express how good the service was. The food was even better. We highly recommend this place and we will be back. read more

Came in for a birthday dinner and overall had a good experience... just wish the food matched it a bit more. Service was great. Our server and his assistant were both on it. 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. Left feeling taken care of, just not blown away by the food. read more

Date: Sunday, August 24th, 2025 Time: 7:30pm Party of: 4 Meal: Dinner Prix Fixe ($70) x3 - choice of one item per section *Begin - Escargot Bourguignon x2, Caesar Salad *Main - Bacon Wrapped Filet Mignon x3 *Dessert - New York Style Cheesecake x2, Chocolate Lava Cake *Lobster Bisque ($17) *Seafood Platter ($59) *Envious Manhattan ($20) *Pomegranate Martini ($20) *Macallan 12 ($20) x2 The hubby and I were up in Tahoe and a friend of his was staying at Ballys. We wanted to meet up for dinner. I figured picking a spot in his hotel would be easier, so we decided to try Ciera. They are on OpenTable, but there were no reservations avail. I called earlier in the day and they were able to accommodate us at the time listed above. They have a set menu which is an okay deal. Considering the escargots are typically $20, the caesar is $12, the 8oz filet is $55 (the one on the set menu is 6oz), and the desserts above are $10 each, I don't really think you are saving any money. I actually did not take part and got the soup and seafood tower. I wasn't super hungry, so it was nice having something lighter. Both were standard. I don't recall loving or hating either one. The drinks here are good tho. My manhattan was nice and stiff. When it came time for the bill, we noticed the macallans were listed at $30 each. I took a pic of the menu and we asked about the price difference. They apologized and comped us both drinks. A really nice gesture. Vibe wise, it's very much an old school steakhouse with lush leather booths. We were sat at a table in the middle and I was a little envious of the people in the booths. They are huge and looked so cozy and comfy. I'd definitely recommend making a note about seating if you decide to come here. A booth would be the way to go. Overall an okay meal. I'd probably give it 3 stars. But bumping it up to 4 for the customer service! REVIEW #3843 read more

Ciera Steak + Chophouse, located in Ballys, has great food, great service, and ambience. The host manager at Ballys, Patrick, is spectacular. He is the most amazing person. We had a great family vacation. Our family will definitely be back. read more

Located inside Bally's, across the hall from the Smoke Lounge and Club, is one of our favorite restaurants in Lake Tahoe, Ciera Steak + Chophouse! Here service is second to none. Love the attention to detail. This was our 5th time here and didn't disappoint. The food is always perfect. Seasoned and cooked to perfection. Never have I had anything not cooked right! I've tried a lot and let me tell you, the bone in rib-eye medium rare!!! Everything is clean, elegant and elevated. *Don't change a thing* read more

Amazing service with impeccable timing! Our server John was very well experienced server who made our dinner here very special for my husband's birthday. French onion soup was as amazing as it looks, flavorful and cheesy and very delicious, and my chopped salad (it was leaf salad, not chopped though) was very delicate but tasty with chopped avocado and tomato. But the main dish, their famous 30oz tomahawk wagyu stake was just out of the world. It's not just the size. It's the quality of the meat and the way chef grilled it. Perfect. I wish you'll try it someday. I'd come back here again when we want to have a great food with amazing service. read more

Ciera was a good restaurant overall but not one I'd return to. The price point does not match the quality i'd expect at a ''nicer" steakhouse. The decor was stuck in the 90s and I did not like the layout. It felt very odd seeing the kitchen and area the waiters hung out. We ordered our meat medium rare and the prime rib came out exactly as requested. The filet was closer to medium well. The prime rib was also on the semi cold on the outside like it was just heat up. The Mac and cheese was very good. Overall our dinner was good, but Ciera is not a place we would return to with so many good dining options similar in price in the area. read more

We came here with good friends to celebrate a share a mid-holiday meal together. Our server John, was absolutely amazing and perfectly executed superior service throughout the night together with his teammates. My wife and I had the Chateaubriand for two (a favorite of ours) and one of our friends tried the pork chop and the other had the Salmon made gluten free. Sitting in a private booth was nice and made more private as we dined with the pull of curtains and we were in our own celebratory world! Dessert was also epic. We tried and shared a slice of cheesecake, lava cake and berries & whipped cream. Each was magnificently prepared and delivered. The only drawback coming here for me is the same as any casino restaurant: having to walk through cigarette & cigar smoke. This restaurant is also directly across from a cigar bar, which was thankfully empty...! We would definitely eat here again and suggest it to friends for a future meal! Be sure to make reservations...! Open Table is their chosen method. Enjoy! read more

The manager here is top notch! He does a wonderful job checking on tables and keeps service moving, including clearing plates when needed. All the food came out a bit cold, except for the scalloped potatoes that came out scalding hot. The Mac and cheese was delicious with just a slight truffle flavor, the mashed potatoes were a miss. read more

Visited this place as a nice dinner for an anniversary and before heading to the Hockey game next door and it was a great experience! The atmosphere is that old school low lit steak house with great service. The steak was cooked perfectly and the flavor was good. The asparagus with the cheese on it was different that I had ever had so that was a welcomed surprise. The lobster bisque was creamy and buttery and had an overall good flavor profile. Will definitely be back next time in Tahoe. read more

We love the ambience of the red, private dining booth. The service is always impeccable! The martinis are huge! The food is delicious, we love the carpaccio, the French onion soup, the bacon wrapped fillet, the potatoes gratin, it is all amazing! We do wish they would bring back the dry ice!! There are so many new restaurants coming into South Lake,the dry ice sets you apart from all of them and gosh darn it, it's just cool! read more

Are here last night right before the knight Monsters hockey game. The service was impressive and the food super delicious! The restaurant had a fancy old school vibe with cool private curtain around our table. Very privet and romantic! Our steak was tender and perfectly seasoned. The lobster bisque was creamy and super tasty and one of the best iv tasted. My favorite was the white truffle Mac and cheese and it was soooo good!! I want more!! The asparagus was good it was my husband's and he liked it. I would totally recommend abc say this steak house was a hit!! You will not be disappointed! read more

Great experience! Fantastic waiter and attentive staff. I'm a professional food judge certified for three leagues so I know what's up! Started with the Tiradito and Leche de Tigré on the side. Hamachi was fresh and the leche was spot on tasty, spicy, and tangy lime. The wife is Peruvian and she approved with two thumbs up! My petite 8oz filet was cooked perfectly throughout and a nice warm rare. Seasoned just right and came with a delicious splash of a wine reduction demi-glacé. Sitting next to it was a blistered shishito pepper and carrot. Her Chilean Sea Bass was perfect! With a crispy crust sitting on top of balsamic reduced cherry tomatoes and onion, it was blissful. On the side, we shared blistered asparagus that was cooked perfectly and topped with a little melted Swiss. On the side was Hollandaise which was a joy to dip in with the asparagus. Absolutely perfect! We then ordered a Creme Brûlée and while we waited out came two dark chocolate dipped strawberries for us to munch on. A very nice surprise. The dessert was outstanding. The toasted sugar top was perfectly thin and crispy so as to not stick to your teeth. The cream was nice and velvety smooth. Not too sweet. We sat in a private booth with curtains which gave this establishment a great old school steakhouse feel. Highly recommend! Please try this restaurant but by no means should you stay overnight at this hotel. The one star reviews shout be enough to convince you...Good luck! read more

Great bartender. I've eaten here a dozen times, and the food is always excellent. It's not open every day of the week. It's inside the casino and a little hard to find. read more

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at the Ciera Steak and Chophouse! For many reasons, this restaurant does not merit a Four Diamond award, or any other award for that matter! While the ambiance is nice and the service was OK, the food is anything but award-winning. The items that we ordered were not fairly priced and they did not match the description on the menu at all. The New York Strip steak ($70) was supposed to be 14 ounces. There is absolutely NO WAY that this piece of meat was that large. Maybe 10 ounces, max. It was an extremely thin slice of beef, not a thick and juicy cut at all. Possibly because of its thin size, it was overcooked. I ordered medium rare, and it came out medium, possibly medium well in spots. I would have sent it back, but I didn't want to wait for another steak to be cooked, nor did I want to embarrass the other guests at my table. The side of mushrooms was tiny. It was MAYBE two tablespoons! This was not a shareable side dish for the table, but rather, a single side, and skimpy at that! With all of that being said, the ABSOLUTE worse item was the Seafood Platter (market price $52 for ONE PERSON.) This dish was a disgrace! The entire "platter" offered ONE shrimp, ONE oyster, ONE HALF crab leg and ONE HALF of a tiny lobster tail. This is an example of gouging the customer! I absolutely feel like I was taken advantage of BIG TIME! I am not a cheap person and do expect to pay a premium at a nice steakhouse. But this was out of line! It seems like the casino industry is taking advantage of the consumer at a time when budgets are tight and tourism is down. Bally's needs to shift its approach and offer their guests an experience that makes them feel good. The food should be properly cooked, portions fair, and pricing set to satisfy both the consumer and the restaurant. read more

We made this reservation to celebrate the Fourth of July because a friend recommended it. When we got there on the fourth they told us that they weren't offering their prix fixe menu because of the holiday. We asked the hostess in person if they were offering their prix fixe the next day and she said yes so we changed our reservation. 6:00 pm July 5th we get to the restaurant and they tell us that they're still not doing the prix fixe ... we had already looked up the menu, decided on what we were going to order and we were excited for our dinner but we were incredibly disappointed when we arrived. We ended up eating there anyway since we were already there and the restaurant was maybe 1/2-3/4 full. We were also told that the chef decided that day that he wasn't going to offer the prix fixe so that definitely added to our disappointment. We started off this dinner with a pretty negative experience but they comped our wine so that was really nice of them. For the food, $70 for the New York strip with no sides was quite pricey (but I guess that's Tahoe pricing?). The lamb was delicious and that came in a full rack. Highly recommend the escargot as well - this was probably our favorite. Overall I don't think we'll be coming back but we had a wonderful server who definitely elevated our dining experience. read more

This restaurant does not merit 4 stars. After arriving a few minutes early for our reservation of four at six pm on 5/1/26, our first course was not served until 7:10. The main entrees were served after 7:30. The service and food left much to be desired. Our waiter, Sean, was very forgetful and not very attentive. We will not be returning to this establishment. read more

Never have i been to a more racist restaurant. Completely in shock!They put us in a boot that was very private. At first I thought it was nice until I noticed all the white people in the main restaurant, and everyone of color hidden in these dark booths with curtains. We have been staying at this Hotel spending our money for four days and this is the treatment we get. If you're going to spend money on a good meal and good experience I would highly recommend going to the Wolf not here! The Wolf had excellent food good vibe and very friendly staff. When we dinned at the Wolf the staff was very attentive,Here they took our order and gave us bread. They partly closed our curtains and we didn't see them till our food arrived. In comparison I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass at both restaurants. Hands down Wolf even had the better meal. read more

Reservations at 7pm and the host is no where to be found. 7:10 he finally gets to us and says it's gonna be a 20 minute wait. "For a reservation?" We question in horror. I shit you not, the host looks us dead in the eye and responds, "we're very busy tonight." Bubba was lucky he's on the Nevada side of Tahoe otherwise it would've been onsight and I'm not talking about the Kanye song. No need to try the food when the service is this terrible, don't waste your time even approaching the motel (Bally's) that harbors this meretricious establishment. read more

We came here for a birthday/date night. We made a reservation and was seated right away. Service was great and they're very attentive. I did feel like they were rushing us throughout. I like to enjoy my dinner and not ordering right away. But, they were nice when I told them I was not ready. Anyways, I was a little disappointed when I found out that they were not doing the prefixe menu for the whole weekend. I wish they would have posted that online before I made the reservation. Either way, the food was amazing. We had carpaccio and lobster bisque to start our night. They were both very tasty. Very pricey but, they were delicious. For entree, I had the duck and my husband ordered the linguine. I must say, the duck skin was probably the best part of the entree. I wish they had more on the side. The seafood linguine was absolutely delicious. The serving was pretty large and the food was great. We ended with their flourless cake! Perfect way to end the night. Overall, a great visit. Expect to spend 200+ for some apps, entrees, and drinks. read more

One of the best dinner experiences we have had in South Lake Tahoe. The private booths with curtains are amazing and we were really wowed with this. They have a pre-fixe menu but they were not offering it on the day we visited due to it being the holidays. Nevertheless we ordered the escargot, lobster tempura for appetizers & lamb chops and filet Oscar for main course. All the dishes were incredible. Drinks were wonderful. The staff was amazing & courteous. We ended with the chocolate lava cake dessert. In the end we were offered chocolate covered strawberries which were a nice gesture. Definitely something we would love visiting again and again for celebrations. Tip: if you choose to park in the self parking, the first hour at ballys is always free but you can go to casino cashier and they will validate parking for you for the time of your dinner. read more

Came with reservation set for a Fri night. Staff was professional and friendly. There is a proper steakhouse ambiance in the restaurant. 1. Ribeye - Cooked medium properly. Thick cut about 1 inch or a bit more but it was flavored well. Not too salty. The sauce it came with is good too. 2. Cheesecake - Soft, melty, very good! Overall, I recommend coming at least once if you're looking to have good steak. read more

We are at this restaurant last night in the food and the service was magnificent. When we got there, they seated us immediately at a booth in the corner that had drapes that could be closed. The atmosphere was very elegant, and our waiter was very knowledgeable in the menu. My husband and I ordered the "Chateaubriand For Two". Which consisted of a 24oz filet mignon, bouquetiere of vegetables, roasted garlic, mashed potatoes, and bearnaise sauce. For dessert we had the chocolate lava cake. We had a very nice time and I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Ciera is always an amazing experience! The service is impeccable, the food delicious and the restaurant is classy and cozy. Great for a romantic date or a group dinner out.

We were tired of the same restaurants for steak, without having to drive, and walked over to Bally's and what a treat! We experienced wonderful food, excellent service, and amazing cocktails!

DELICIOUS. We initially made reservations at Hell's Kitchen but we read the reviews and were leaning more towards Cierra. I'm glad we made that choice. I still think about the scalloped potatoes and Mac and cheese. Soooo good. They also had great portion sizes as well. I got the filet mignon and I loved it. They had superb service as well and even gave us a chocolate strawberry at the end. Loved it definitely going back the next time I go to Tahoe. read more

Good, traditional steak house. Excellent steaks. Great wine list and cocktails. What sets this place above others is the impeccable service. Our waiter, John, was so warm and attentive. He made us feel welcomed and elevated the dining experience. John is 100% the best part of dinner. It was my daughter's 7th birthday and we treated her to a nice steak dinner. John brought her TWO desserts-cake and chocolate covered strawberries...complimentary. It made her day and this birthday was so special. I highly recommend this place for special occasion dinners. The ambiance was perfect.l with the thick velvet curtains and leather booths. read more

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Ciera Steak and Chophouse at Bally's. I used to go there monthly last year and the food and service were excellent. This year is different. The restaurant must have changed hands. With the exception of one server who knew the difference, the others were not that friendly. My sister and I were put in a booth so dark we couldn't see the menus. We asked for an additional light (small candle-like device like they provide for each table), but the server somehow didn't understand. So I had the person serving water help me with the flashlight on my cell phone. We ordered the Prix Fix meal, which we usually do. The menu didn't offer the wonderful salad they used to have with mixed greens and nuts, so we chose the escargot. I was mostly greasy with little taste. The File Mignon was dry, tough, and tasteless. It used to come with mashed potato and a delicious sauce. This dish was served with a few very tiny dry potato pieces and tough asparagus. The carrot was OK. The cheesecake for desert was tasteless. We ordered one bottle of wine that was OK. The bill, $200! I will never go there again. read more

Excellent dinner last Thursday, the 18th. Food was delicious! I partook in their $60 pre fixe menu. Great value! Excellent quality! I started with a phenomenal, classical lobster bisque. They do it right! Then I had the bacon wrapped 6oz. filet Mignon with fingerling potatoes and vegetables. The filet was perfectly prepared medium rare. The potatoes were tasty. For dessert, I had the most decadent chocolate lava cake. They evidently use a high grade chocolate in the recipe, for quality was readily apparent in the taste. Oh my goodness was it delicious! Service was professional, attentive, and friendly. The best restaurant customer service I have encountered on this last week's trip. No other restaurants measured up to here at Ciera. read more

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner here! Not only was the food delicious, the service was outstanding. We were seated in a private booth with a fresh rose on the table and the lovely wait staff was always close by to make sure we had everything we needed. We started with the lobster escargot with a soft bread for mopping up the garlic sauce - wow that sauce was addicting! Next up we had the carpaccio which was also melt in your mouth delicious. For entrees we had the pistachio crusted lamb chops and the New York strip loin, both were cooked to perfection. Lastly we enjoyed the lava cake and the complimentary chocolate dipped strawberries. What a special night! The food was amazing, the ambiance lovely and we truly felt pampered for our special night out. read more

We had the French Onion soup, lobster escargot, cowboy ribeye with gratin potatoes and broccolini as a side. Everything was delicious but the real star of the show was the lobster escargot. Legitimately one of the best thing I've eaten in years. If you love garlic, bread, and lobster... you have to get it. On top of all that, the server we had was incredible and made some very savvy recommendations. Great dude! Definitely recommend.

Another birthday weekend with one of my daughters. Did my homework and found this place. Was ranked high and supposedly a 4 star joint. Daughter and I both had the cowboy ribeye medium -rare. I also had the creamed spinach and French onion soup. Both were good. Steak doesn't make my top 10. Good but nothing special. I will say that the service was exceptional. I'm sure it's the top steak house in South Lake Tahoe but the steak was nothin to yelp about. read more

If you are looking to splurge for a nicer dinner or celebrate a special occasion, this a great option for you to check out! We normally stick to our more casual places in Tahoe, but we decided to treat ourselves a little bit and really enjoyed it here. We were able to come on a Friday night so we were able to take advantage of the Prix Fixe menu ($70 for me, $60 for my wife), which I would highly recommend! It had all of the items we would have ordered anyway and helped keep the bill to a manageable level. I started with the French Onion Soup, had the New York Strip Loin for my main, and finished with the Chocolate Lava Cake. It was hard to pick my favorite as each was so good! Lots of great flavors in each course and big portions too. My wife had the Lobster Bisque, Medley of Seafood Linguine, and the New York Style Cheesecake. She loved her soup and main course, but said it wasn't her favorite cheesecake. However, the chocolate covered strawberries were a great touch and that became her dessert instead! On top of the nice ambiance and wonderful food, the whole staff was very attentive and pleasant during our time there and I would definitely go back again! read more
