We decided to give The Pink House a try, and overall had a great experience!…read more They have a huge outdoor seating area with plenty of shade throughout the day, all while looking out toward the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada. It's a beautiful setting to enjoy a meal. The restaurant has a vibe all its own. The restored Victorian home, the wraparound porch lined with seating, and the back patio complete with a live music stage make it one of the more unique dining experiences in Genoa. We ordered one of the 12-inch pizzas to start and were pleasantly surprised--it was excellent. For our main course, we had the steak frites, and the steak was cooked perfectly. The service was friendly, the atmosphere was relaxing, and we'll definitely be back.

We always go to Schat in Carson, so when we were in Minden, its branch was our first choice for late lunch. We got what's available without the need for them to prepare, since they are closing. I got a ham sandwich and my two boys got pizza bagel -- everything is good, and although my sandwich is already pre-made, they still tasted fresh. I always love the ambiance there. It's always relaxing and the interior is classic. We ate in the park since they are already closing, but that's alright.

Although the bakery and deli are connected to the casino next door, you don't hear casino noise inside the restaurant. However, when the casino door opens, cigarette smoke can drift into the dining area. Also, the restrooms are located through the casino. This wasn't a major issue for us, but it could be uncomfortable for anyone sensitive to cigarette smoke, those with asthma, or families with small children. The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable. They also offer specialty coffees, Italian sodas, and an impressive selection of desserts, making it hard to leave without a treat! The restaurant is charmingly decorated and has a cozy feel. During our visit, the waitstaff was a bit short-handed, so a few tables hadn't been cleared right away. Even so, the staff apologized, worked quickly to make room for us, and provided excellent service despite being busy. We'll definitely be back to Schat's- the delicious food and incredible desserts completely won us over!

Ice cream and cookies are two of my favorite things. Put them together and you make a masterpiece…read more The Baked Bear does both of these things really well. I wish they would open one of these near where I live. Actually, that would probably be a bad idea because I would want to go there every day. Up on the second floor, this place can be a little tricky to find. But once you get close you can definitely smell the beautiful aroma of fresh baked cookies and ice cream. The service here is friendly and helpful. My wife and I ordered a Bear Bowl, which is either a large cookie or a brownie, warm, topped with ice cream. We opted for a brownie with a berry pie ice cream and Smore Ice cream. Both of the ice cream flavors deliciously creamy, while the brownie was rich and chocolatey. Honestly, this was as good as it gets in my opinion. We couldn't stop eating it even though we weren't even quite that hungry. If you're around South Lake Tahoe be sure to come here.

Service was kind here, they had no problem with samples and were quick to get your order ready…read more I got a cookie sandwich, chocolate chip & stuffed smores cookie, with blackberry crumble pie ice cream. It was a dream, perfect mix of savory and sweet! Lots of variety of flavors here, both for the cookies and for the ice creams. There was a long wait but I didn't feel like it took that long!

When ordering my Reuben, they were out of corned beef and asked if I'd like it with pastrami...I agreed. Unfortunately, I was not a fan of their pastrami and would not order again. The chili was not very good either....its more of a hot dog topping chili rather than a stand-alone. The store is very cute with all kinds of stuff to look at while waiting. Will probably return, but not order the same items.

We arrived at DW on a Sunday afternoon just before 4 pm- check in time…read more We were given a list of local restaurants- at the top was 1864. The receptionist let us know that they are closed Mondays and Tuesdays. So we decided to try it out first night. We were ready to be out of the car for the day and just walk over. We were told by the hostess that the restaurant was closed to a large party for a family reunion until 7:30, but we could order off the full menu at the bar. We were very happy with our experience here. The bartender/server was very welcoming and friendly. He first said they were in the middle of changing over their wine and beer offerings and was ready to share today's offerings. He didn't rush us at all on ordering and timed out our appetizer, salad, then main course perfectly. We started with the stuffed button mushrooms- so yummy. Then we shared a ceaser salad with large grilled prawns on top- he had the kitchen split it in the back for us. Such a nice touch My hubby ordered the bison burger MR- it was cooked perfectly and the fries were hot and crispy I ordered the DWR veggie pasta- so, so yummy. I'm still thinking about it days later dnd hoping to get in here to eat again before we leave. The sauce is so lemony and perfect. It's a huge portion- so I was able to take more then 1/2 back to our condo with me and work on over the next few days. Our server took time to welcome us and visit with us when he wasn't busy. Also sharing some of his favorite other restaurants in the area so we had places to eat on the days 1862 is closed. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and clean. As was the restroom. We will for sure be back

Let's start with what I liked. First impression walking in, the restaurant is beautiful. Rustic,…read moremoody, clean, and gives off steakhouse vibes. We came kind of late, around 8:30pm and had a party of 8, and at first they said they could not seat us but then Paula (who I assume is the manager) was able to get us in at 9:00pm and she was so kind and personable! The table and chairs we sat at were nice and study and the dining area of the restaurant was just as nice as the entrance. Our server was friendly and attentive and our wait was reasonable. Now for the negatives. Unfortunately the food was not a hit for anyone in our party. My sister-in-law got the chicken pasta and gave it a 2.5/5, she aid the chicken was overcooked, the sauce was runny, and it wasn't very flavorful. I got the Brussel Sprouts and my husband and I give them a 3/5, they were soft but not crispy and the flavor was okay. The Mac & Cheese was a 2/5 on its own but much better when we added salt/pepper, it also had no flavor but the texture was perfect. My 3 kids all got a kids pizza and they all barely ate any so I'd give another 2/5, they said they remind them of the pizza they get at school. My husband's meat pizza was also a 2/5, the crust seemed like maybe it wasn't all the way cooked & he said it tasted like a frozen pizza. My nephew gives the kids grilled cheese a 3/5. And my brother said the chicken BLT was good and he gives it a 4/5 and said he would order it again. Lastly, I ordered a wedge salad but it never came, also after I brought it to my waitresses attention she forgot to take it off the bill, but she quickly fixed it at the end and again was very kind. Unfortunately we will not be going back even though we are staying at the resort next door. We just feel for the price we would like to try other places in Tahoe instead. But I think they are worth a try if you're at the resort.

Perfectly sweetened and makes for a great treat when you don't feel like ice cream. The street tacos were super flavorful and clearly cooked fresh. The staff was super friendly and kind, even interacting with our kiddos. I regularly think about the fresas con crema. This will surely be my go-to ice cream spot in Carson City now. Way better than any of the chain places around the area- plus they have something for everyone here. Tacos, ice cream, sweets, and treats! Enjoy!

Not sure what people are raving about with this place. Everything looks and tastes like it came in…read morefrozen from a wholesaler and then just defrosted. We got a chocolate croissant (only decent thing I got, but don't compare it to an artisanal made croissant where it's a dark golden brown with flaky crispy buttery layers). Their "croissants" are more like anemic, soft, moist bread. Also, got a cheese Danish. Starbucks sells a better cheese Danish than this place. The Danish was dry and hard and the center filling looked like it was pre-made frozen and just placed on top of the Danish. Finally, the worst of the worst, I got a personal size dutch apple crumble pie. Now THIS looked like it was made from scratch and I had hopes for this one. However, I took a piece of the crumble topping and ate it. It had an unusual funny taste. Almost like it was made with lavender. Didn't taste quite right. Then, when I got back to my hotel, I really dug into it. It wasn't just the crumble that was off, but the entire pie tasted of rancid spoiled butter. I had to spit it out, it was horrible. I can't believe they would serve that. I don't know how old that thing was, but they need better quality control. The only people I could see giving this place 5 stars on the food, are locals. Tahoe is behind when it comes to quality high end artisanal pastries. I have yet to find a decent coffee shop. Their sign boasts "Voted Best in Tahoe", but you'll see that almost every spot here has the same sign, from ice cream shops to bakeries to whatever else because there's literally nothing here. If you're from a big city, don't come here. Service was pleasant. No complaints.

Looks can be deceiving…read more.. 3.14 Pie day! Arrived at 2:45pm and we were the only ones there. Not much to choose from, but they did have the lemon meringue that everyone was raving about and two kinds of apple pie. Over two hours until closing at 5pm on Saturday and the chairs were already flipped over on the tables as if they were closing/cleaning. The lady packed our order to go without asking, so I guess that was also a hint to not stick around. Onto the pie: it sure looked nice, but one bite was all I needed. I did take a second bite just to make sure my taste buds weren't playing tricks on me. The meringue was gummy, the crust was soggy. The lemon filling was ok, but did not compensate for the top and the bottom being almost inedible. I don't know if it was old, just bad, or both. This was honestly one of the worst lemon meringue pies I've ever had. We would have been better off getting a pie at the grocery store. We didn't dig into the apple pie yet, but after the lemon meringue, I don't have high hopes.
