    sierra sunburn and regular lemonade
    Annie G.

    Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 We ordered: - crab cakes appetizer: the mango salsa was so good, the mango pieces were ripe and soft, and the crab cakes themselves had good outer crunchy texture with soft filling - new york steak, medium to medium well: I usually find places will make medium to medium well steak at just barely medium rare to medium, but this place definitely cooked it very thoroughly, seemed closer to well-done. The steak was a little too chewy and tough for my taste, but overall good flavor. I loved the wild rice pilaf side! - lemonade and sierra sunburn: both really fresh and seemed like they were made from fresh lemons! the raspberry in the sunburn was great The lighting was warm and the lights were really overhead. The benches were comfortable and not cold to sit on, and overall nice, clean, comfy environment. Service was really friendly and apologized that the drinks menu didn't have dairy-free options for some of the drinks with dairy, overall really attentive and engaging. We found a lot of street parking a few minutes away and walked over, also took a walk on the lake beach right behind it which was super pretty

    Here's a more concise, creative version of your review for Jason's Beachside Grille: "February sunshine on the back deck at Jason's Beachside Grille? Pure magic! Dog-friendly vibes, jaw-dropping Lake Tahoe views, and super friendly, efficient service--even with our multiple beer sample requests. I devoured the seared ahi tuna topped with vibrant mango salsa (pro tip: test that fiery side sauce first--it's no joke!). My boyfriend loved his California chicken sandwich with those perfectly crispy, hot fries. Skipped the beer to save room for dessert--rich, indulgent, but perfectly balanced. Total winner! If you're in Kings Beach, Tahoe, this spot nails the lakeside chill with tasty food and unbeatable scenery. Highly

    Jason's beachside Grille is located on the Lake Tahoe loop in California. While seeing a convert in Tahoe, we decided the following day to traverse the Lake Tahoe loop in our rental and to stop at local bars and eateries. We stopped into Jason's at the end of our trek and had a cocktail and then pressed on as we had a dinner reservation looming in the near distance. The cocktail selection was abundant and the place itself had a ski resort type feel about it. Like a 70's feel if you know what I mean. The staff was friendly and informative on their drinks, and the interior was clean and well kept for its dated appearance. This was a great stop on our loop trip.

    I stopped by Jason's for a late solo lunch on a late September weekday. It was a cold, windy, gloomy day, and the place was not busy. They seated me in a very nice, roomy booth, away from the door, so I can stay warm. What a nice gesture. The place definitely had that softly lit, cozy nestled in feel that day, and that was wonderful. The server was sweet. I had a fish and chips with iced tea (alas, I was driving) and the meal was excellent! I sat there, feeling warm and relaxed, and enjoyed the nostalgic feeling, until a big party came in and sat right behind me... If you are lucky enough to be a local, find a cold winter day and enjoy a quiet time, a wonderful meal and... perhaps a good beer.

    Do you like ribs? Like fall-off-the-bone,succulent,delicious ribs? GO HERE! Now granted most of the sauce was put on at the end, but man, that meat is tender! Also, the mashed potatoes are real red baby bliss potatoes that have just the right amount of garlic. Couldn't have asked for a better meal. There is a back patio that overlooks the lake, and there is lot or street parking.

    Fish and Chips

    Food was okay, the quality of the beef was definitely top notch. Fish and chips was okay. Service was awesome, love the place ambience. Definitely an American classic. Overall 3.5/5

    My Rare Prime Rib Dinner

    This past Sunday evening, while on our one summer vacation at Lake Tahoe, I ordered the prime rib, as it was what I was recommended to get, by the person I talked to, when I called in my order at Jason's Beachside Grille. I was transferred to the bar to place my order. I told the gentleman who picked up the call that I wanted it RARE (RED,) as I don't eat well done meat ever, especially (at $42.95.) My husband ordered baby back ribs (at $28.95.) We also got a wedge salad (at $14.95) and a bowl of clam chowder at ($10.95.) When my husband arrived back to our Motel Room with our order, he mentioned that he was told (while paying,) that they had to charge an 18% gratuity, on our "To Go Order," because the total was over $100. The order was not over $100 before tax. Next, there wasn't a receipt to view, napkins or any utensils included, to eat our meal with. Then unfortunately, there was a problem with my $42.95 prime rib which was WELL DONE (BROWN,) therefore I couldn't eat it. I did try it by ripping a piece off the end, (as seen in the picture,) but I don't do well done! If I was in the restaurant I would have immediately sent the prime rib back. But I wasn't and no one answered the phone when I tried to call as it was getting late! The wild rice was wild as well, so it wasn't eaten either. I didn't care for the squash vegetables so the complete meal was sadly disappointing! I would appreciate my money back Jason's Beachside Grille management, as you can see by the picture I added, it's not what I ordered!!! Seriously, is the meat red? Is it even pink? Absolutely not! Due to this unfortunate incident, I have learned that I won't ever ask another employee of any restaurant to recommend a food choice anymore, especially after being recommended the most expensive dinner on their menu! There is no ambience to describe here.

    Mexican shrimp cocktail

    Second time at Jason's. Came in by myself while my husband and kids ride e-bikes. I ordered the Mexican style shrimp cocktail and a cup of today's soup which is beef and vegetable. Soup was nice - seasoned well without being too salty (which can happen if it gets over reduced by sitting all day). The shrimp cocktail was my favorite of the two. Seasoned but without too much salt again and a little on the sweet side but perfect with a squeeze of lime it's served with to cut the sweetness. Served with warm tortilla chips that are not oily! Not stingy with the avocado in it either. A lot of shrimp but enough onion and cucumber for crunch.

    Nachos and wings

    I came in with family after a polar plunge and we were able to warm up during happy hour! Our server was friendly and helpful. I like the dark and moody ambiance, it is reminiscent of an old steakhouse. It still has the old slow Tahoe feel to it. The wings and cocktails were fantastic! I'll be back for more.

    If you are in Kings Beach and want to grab a bite to eat, I highly recommend Jason's Beachside Grille. This is our go to spot whenever in town. I have tried several items on the menu and they all have been so good. The staff, service, and atmosphere are amazing. I recommend sitting on the outdoor patio that has a lake view.

    I had the Russian burger asked for medium rare, but a little bit more on the rare side waitress had an attitude It's never been a issue before at any other restaurant Had the grilled artichoke as an appetizer it was pretty good felt like it needed a little bit more salt or something My friend had the prime rib and she said it was the most disgusting thing she's ever had she only took a bite the potatoes tasted like nothing, and the vegetables tasted like they were sitting in sink water Waitress had an attitude with us the whole time and then as we were leaving, proceeded to talk shit about us to coworker twice we heard it in the beginning and then afterwards she's lucky I left a tip. The ambience was very nice

Ahi Napolean was the highlight with the BBQ/Spicy prawns coming in a close second. Three of us ordered the Lemongrass Ginger Brick Chicken and it was tender and juicy with just the right amount of Asian spices. We all raved YUMMY!! My wife had the Rack of Lamb which she enjoyed and I got to sneak a couple of bites...tender tasty. My friend's son had the Grilled Ribeye which was massive and oozing with juice. The Finale! Dessert is never an option with my Sicilian taste buds so Tiramisu and Pistachio Cheese Cake sedated and cleansed our palates! The overall dining experience was good as we sat outside on the patio with a perfect evening and no bugs in site!

Both dishes came with complementary soup first. It's difficult to say which dish we liked more since both were excellent. The bread and hummus on the table was a welcome addition, and was especially good for sopping up the wonderful sauce from each dish. - We got tempted by dessert and opted for the bread pudding with a side of homemade ice cream. Wow wow wow is all I can say! - Service was great...There were three people working the entire place so service was attentive, but not overbearing. Bottom line: I almost don't want to rave too much because I don't want the place to get too crowded, but it's better than any place around that we've been to. We'll be back for sure!

We started with the sage and cheddar biscuits, which were wonderful, and the glazed pork belly with chili crunch with toasted cashews - the combo of the nuts and pork was really delicious. We then had the Niman Ranch pork chop and grilled steak frites. Pork chop came with creamy polenta, mushrooms, and a blueberry glaze - I'm hungry just writing about all this. The chop was grilled to perfection - moist (no pink meat) and nicely charred for the flavor. The glaze is a hint of sweetness and the creamy polenta is a winner. The mushrooms are an excellent compliment. The grilled steak was also cooked to perfection - medium rare. The flat iron steak is such a great cut of meat. The fries in duck fat were very good. For dessert, we had a chocolate masterpiece. The meal was well priced considering the location and the time of year. And while the meal was special, it was the service that really made the experience special. While being utterly professional, the staff is also friendly and on top of it.

I'd recommend looking into parking options ahead of time and giving yourself some extra time before your reservation. We were seated right away. Indoor seating is somewhat limited, but they have plenty of outdoor seating for nice days. The atmosphere inside was pleasant, everything was clean, and the seating was comfortable. We were greeted by a very nice woman who got our coffee orders--and this is where my biggest complaint starts. I drink my coffee black, so there's nowhere for bad coffee to hide. Unfortunately, this was some of the worst coffee I've had in a long time. It was extremely watered down and almost completely tasteless. I actually ordered whole milk just to give it some flavor, which is something I normally never do. They also don't have an espresso machine, so switching to an Americano or another espresso drink wasn't an option. For a brunch restaurant, the coffee was surprisingly disappointing. I ordered the Eggs Benedict. It was good, but nothing that would make me order it again instead of trying something different if we return. One thing I did appreciate was how easily they accommodated one of our friends who is vegetarian. There was no fuss or confusion, and they made it simple for her to find something that worked. One real standout, though, was our waitress. She was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and had a great sense of when to check on the table without constantly interrupting our conversation. She seemed to appear exactly when we needed something and otherwise let us enjoy brunch with our friends. I really appreciated her style of service. Overall, everyone at the table agreed we'd give Sage Leaf another try. It's a nice place with excellent service, and they were very accommodating, but coming all the way from Reno, it's a bit of a stretch for bad coffee and food that, at least on this visit, was just okay. If we're in the area again, we'd certainly give it another shot.

Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, and she did a great job walking us through the day's specials as well as some of her favorite picks.

The coconut, basil, and bitters balanced beautifully with the gin, making for a super refreshing drink that felt especially perfect for spring or summer weather. We followed our server's advice and ordered four items, two larger plates and two starters, and everything was delicious. Here's the breakdown: Trout Dip: Fantastic smoky, fishy flavor in all the right ways, served with crostinis. The only small nitpick was that the crostinis were overdone for my taste and shattered loudly when bitten into. Grilled Prawns: Super meaty and seasoned and sauced perfectly, with a bed of slaw that balanced the dish nicely. Scallops: Seared to perfection and in an addicting red Thai curry sauce. I was intrigued by the combo of kimchi, grits, and curry and have to say that it somehow blends amazingly well. Lamb Chops: Cooked to a perfect medium rare, expertly seasoned, with little gaminess and a cooling yogurt sauce that really brought the dish together.

It is arguably the best location on the North Shore for being on the water, especially with the Hyatt Beach restaurants closed during construction at their beach area. Ya I get it, it's Tahoe, it's Lakefront. I am willing to pay a premium but short of feeling like I'm being swindled. $41 for Tofu Stir Fry?!? $49 for a Pork Chop, $42 for Roasted Chicken and $29 for a Bacon Burger? Sheesh! That's pushing the envelope into Tourist Trap pricing levels. The burger was not bad a bit too well done. The Fish Tacos were very mediocre. This place could only earn anywhere close to 5 stars if all you based that on was the location/view. I've found Za's (Tahoe City) or Whitecap Pizza or Jason's Beachside Grill (Kings Beach) have waterfront dining at almost half the cost with nice atmospheres just a little less upscale than Gar and decent food. With Lake Tahoe likely not getting any less popular in the future, I probably won't even bother considering Gar in the future as obviously they have decided to turn this pace into a tourist milking spot.
