    Friends took me to this place after sightseeing and riding the Tram at Palisades Tahoe and I wasn't disappointed. We all ordered different things and mine was a simple pizza. We all shared a taste of each other's order and everything tasted great. If you're in the area and looking for something simple, quick, good and reasonably priced, this is a good choice. And on a pleasant day, the outside patio seating can't be beat with the Truckee River flowing by.

    Fantastic sandwiches and salads. The young adults who work here are welcoming and flexible with custom orders. The deck looks out at the Truckee River.

    Cute little cafe. They have breakfast pizzas, breakfast burritos & sandwiches. We shared a ham & cheese on a bagel. It was delicious. They are located right on the Truckee River. Very friendly customer service. We will definitely recommend & come back!

    Found this gem of a place when we were staying in Alpine Meadows. Excellent service, and delicious food with a variety of breakfast and lunch items like the breakfast bowl which had eggs, bacon & tater tots all rolled up in one, and we also tried the Asian trip tip mango wrap, which had good flavor. We also appreciated that the items were reasonably priced. We look forward to trying their family style meals that can fit 6-8 people like lasagna and Mac & cheese with bacon. You have to order 24-48 hours ahead, so we'll catch them next time.

    Food is great and the team here is super nice. Highly recommended. I got the brunch burrito, which was killer.

    Nice and simple little cafe with sandwiches and pizza, coffee, beer/wine. I've driven by the place 100 times but never stopped to have a look. Tasty sandwich hit the spot. I should have ordered a beer to enjoy the patio with a river view!

    Cute and friendly cafe! Stopped by here on our way home from Reno. We were greeted kindly by the staff and I asked if they allow dogs and they do, outside on their balcony, overlooking the clear river. We were able to eat lunch with our dog, with such a cool view of the water. The foods were also delicious! The cucumber salad as a side is something you need to get. Sandwiches were delicious, I just had a hard time biting them as I was scared to break my permanent retainer. Maybe I could've gotten a softer bread if I had asked, as they were very accommodating. Free parking, and bathrooms are gender neutral outside the cafe. They also take contactless pay (apple or Samsung pay). Great service, nice people, amazing view, delicious food! :)

    After a long day of skiing, we were absolutely starving, so our instructor recommended this…read morerestaurant in Tahoe. She did mention she might be a bit biased since she works in the kitchen, but she was completely right: the food was outstanding. We ordered two burgers, a salad, and an appetizer to share among four people. The portions were very generous and incredibly satisfying. We usually prefer to restaurant-hop and have dessert somewhere else, but the meal was so good that we decided to stay and try dessert as well. While it wasn't quite as impressive as the rest of the food, it was still enjoyable and ended up being the perfect choice since it wasn't overly heavy after such a filling meal. A special mention goes to our waitress, Erin, who was excellent. She was attentive, efficient, and incredibly on top of everything. I always appreciate when a server checks in at the right moment to ask whether you'd like the bill or want to order anything else, and Erin handled everything seamlessly. She got us in and out quickly without ever making us feel rushed.

We ordered the green curry noodle bowl with beef shank added, as well as the seafood pan roast. The noodle bowl came with an overly generous amount of noodles, which made the overall balance of the dish a bit difficult. I found myself having to work through the noodles before getting to much of the curry. The roasted mushrooms and the portion of beef were both quite good. The ingredients each tasted fine on their own, but the bowl didn't quite come together as a cohesive dish. The seafood pan roast was more enjoyable, with a good amount of scallops, shrimp, and salmon. Overall, it was the stronger of the two dishes. While there were some positives, the tasting experience didn't fully meet my expectations, and I don't think I would recommend this spot to others if they are looking for noodle bowl.

The place itself is quite small with limited parking, but everyone is nice and kind and they have little buzzers to notify you when your table is ready :) I got the French toast with strawberries and oh my goodness it was DELICIOUS. The French toast was a perfect blend of fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The bread itself was amazing. I opted in for some fresh strawberries, but you can get other fruit or a fruit syrup as well. The French toast also comes with warm maple syrup, and I can attest it was definitely warm. It made the whole eating experience feel luxurious, and I had a delightful time eating it all up. If I ever come back to Lake Tahoe for holiday, I will definitely need to swing by this place to experience this French toast again. So good!

I asked about dairy in the dish I ordered; I'm pretty sure the kitchen switched out the chicken sausage from the menu for chicken&cheese sausage -- an avoidable error IF the kitchen is informed. Extremely disappointed.

Everline should be mortified that this is what a five star resort offers their guests. When I walked in, it was just me. No other customers waiting and no others showed up until I was on my way out. I order two bagels toasted with cream cheese and two drinks to go. There was no smile, no greeting, no cheerfulness from either of the two workers. I had asked for a mocha but somehow at 9 am they were out of mocha so ok I ordered a white mocha instead. The bagels came out first and shame on me for not inspecting but it wasn't until I got into our car to see the bagels were NOT toasted and did not have cream cheese on them either. A mini-cream cheese cup was included however no knife to spread it myself, and no alert from the worker that they were leaving me up a creek with no paddle. For this being a classy establishment, tearing pieces of a cold bagel and dipping it into a cream cheese cup was not how I expected it to be. Of course the cream cheese amount is a total rip off as well. The other problem came was when I stood there waiting for my drinks. 1 came out without letting me know and it sat there. Neither worker thought to say "here you go Miss" so if I hadn't asked I wouldn't have known. But that wasn't the whole problem- the whole problem was that as I continued to wait for my second drink it became evident that neither worker were making my second drink. I guess they forgot? That makes sense. My drink was super syrupy and so sugary I choked down maybe 4 sips before giving up. My husband's latte was supposed to have an extra shot of espresso but it did not and it was lukewarm at best. Completing a service you were hired to do is truly truly a struggle these days. Management needs a hard reset and these women need to learn basic social skills, along with basic existence-in-the-workforce skills if they want to ever move up in life.
