Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Things
Carina S.

My family & I took our ski break at this location. Service 5/5 From the start the service was amazing. My sister twisted her ankle during this trip & Mateos one of the servers took his time to help her down the steps! It's the kind gestures that make an impact. Beer 5/5 We had a couple of the beers on tap and all were delicious (recommend the Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Things &the Deshutes Fresh Squezzed IPA). Our server Haylie was attentive & quick! Starters We had a very simple order of fries & chili and it was good.

Nice view sitting outside for lunch. Maybe a little bit short staffed need several minutes before being seated. Ordering/paying are done thru QR code. Once ordered drinks and food come quickly. Staffs are friendly.

A strong 3.75, considering there is always a stigma for hotel/resort food! Allen and I came around 2:30 pm, and the place closed fairly soon after. Despite that, the service was still great and everyone was fine with us staying late to finish our meal. We were quickly seated next to a window with a great view of the slopes, and were quickly brought waters. Menu: pretty standard American dishes, with different categories. Pricing: pretty standard! Everything was pretty affordable, and what I expected. ($$) We ended up ordering: 1) Burger with fries ($17) : Unfortunately the cheese costed an extra $3!! (???) Not worth it in my opinion, since the burger itself came with lots of flavor. The fries were delicious, and they gave a ton! 1) Steak and fries ($21) : yes, yes...we were super extra LOL. The steak was good, but looked really dry. Luckily, the sauce was yummy, and the fries were perfect! It was probably about 4-5 oz. of meat. Overall, had a good time! I would come here again and order their burger.

Came this afternoon. Placed an order (2 cocktails & garlic fries) at 11:20. Order was promised for 11:40. Drinks came out fast and were awesome. Food came out later than promised. A little after 12 PM. Side of cheese not included (not a huge deal). But no one checked on us until after we asked where our fries were. We had to overhear a server tell the table next to us that the tickets for orders were not printing correctly. For a restaurant that has you order on your phone from a QR code, you think they'd might want to check up on guests when they're aware of technical issues. I understand technical issues are inevitable at times, but like I said, no one checked on us until after we got their attention. Wouldn't have even know about tech issues if we hadn't overheard the server. Was honestly glad we did not order any other food. Hoping for a better experience next time around.

Delicious chicken "Chef's Jam" sandwich!

The food is excellent! Innovative dishes with delicious ingredients perfect for a ski lunch. Service likewise excellent. On a busy ski day, be prepared for a substantial wait: 30-60 minutes. If you decide that the wait is too long, you can always go to the buffet cafeteria next door which uses the same kitchen. Also, the sun can be quite bright on a sunny day, reflecting off the snow and the sun will move substantially during an hourlong lunch: so your seat in the shade may be in direct sunlight in a half-hour. Bring your sunglasses.

Went here on Valentine's weekend on a ski trip with some friends. Brunch is something my SO and I…read morelove to go for dates so we were excited to check this place out! 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!

Dairy allergy beware! For poisoning…read more Pros: Great seating Easy parking Friendly Decent kids-food options Plenty of open seats during the off-season Cons: Not allergy friendly. Ugh. Moderate portion size for price Unclear menu ------------- Worst food poisoning this decade. I told the waitress I had a dairy allergy, but she did not write it down. 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.

We started with the lobster small dish as an appetizer and our 7 year old devoured most of it. It was so delicious. They were incredibly accommodating for my gluten-free and dairy-free needs. I was impressed with how they had special menus for each of my diet restrictions - the items to avoid were crossed off (see pic) which made it super easy to follow. My black cod was AMAZING, cooked perfectly, just the right amount of complimenting flavors and ingredients, in addition to great broccoli. Lastly, the fact they had even one gluten-free/dairy-free dessert option was mind blowing. I was so pumped. It was a smooth and super flavorful coconut passion fruit house made sorbet. I was in heaven. This isn't your typical dining establishment and their food definitely showcases that. And the views do too, holy smokes. Talk about a wag to enjoy the beauty of Lake Tahoe! Absolutely gorgeous. We're so thankful we got to spend an evening here, in our most favorite vacation spot. Way to go owners, staff and chefs!

Dining with 2 kids and ordering a tasting menu can be challenging but the courses were served pretty quickly. Happy with the kids black cod dish - they split it into 2 for our kids which was really nice. Our daughter's 7th birthday was 2 days ago and they gave us complimentary salted caramel ice cream with a candle. Really enjoyed the scallop and pork belly. Wine pairing was on point with generous pours. The famous chocolate croissant bread pudding also didn't disappoint. Highly recommend as a date night place with or without kids.

I'm gonna have a difficult time with this review. I had a good/not-good first experience for dinner…read morehere. I will be fair and start with the good. All four of us loved the taste of our entrees and of the appetizers. Our server (Jigga) was excellent and attentive. The atmosphere was nice with a great view of the Truckee River, just 20 feet away from our window table. The bathrooms were clean. On the flip side, we were greeted rather rudely upon walking in. We arrived early especially to grab a drink and relax during happy hour. There were four of us and 2 bar stools, so we sat at one of the three empty high-tops next to the bar. The bartender told us we couldn't sit there and that we had to order drinks standing at the bar and then cash out before being seated for dinner. Our table in the dining room was waiting, but we still had to pay for drinks at the bar before being seated. It was very confusing the way things were handled, especially considering this restaurant is rated $$$ on Yelp. Long story short, we stood at the bar until our tab was settled. Then we noticed that we were not charged the happy hour pricing (we still had another 20 minutes). We brought it up with the bartender and she said, "you have to ask for the happy hour menu if you want happy hour prices." So immediately we felt unwelcome and as if we were being treated like "one-visit tourists". She didn't even offer to change our tab to reflect the happy-hour pricing. Unfortunately the bar confusion left a sour taste over much of the entire dinner, which otherwise would have been a fairly decent night out. Three-stars for the happy hour experience , and 4 stars for the restaurant.

vegan BURGERS on the menu means I grade a five star for food is not everyone bothers to stock up…read morelike that for us. Specifically there's is named cleverly, "INFINITY AND BEYOND", what sounds like a science fiction novel to me. It is comprised of a 4 oz Beyond® patty, Swiss, peppers, onions, Fernet® BBQ sauce, brioche bun $23 they also have a hummus there that has a choice of three different additions but I think they said only the olive tapenade is vegan. Here is awesome and they are well staffed and everyone is quite knowledgeable. five stars for ambience both inside and out. Outside of course is the dog friendly patio with a lake view. Inside is more of a sports bar feel

She wasn't that hungry and it was just to try out the burgers at this restaurant as we do food trips. She was charged an additional $8 for each meal. They called it "Adult Upcharge". See the picture of the receipt. The meal turned out to be $20 each. The food was average. We ordered the burgers as medium rare and got medium well. Although it wasn't dry. The cheeseburgers came with fries. They didn't provide condiments so make sure to ask for some if you're ordering takeout. The cheese curd tots were good and came with a sauce.
