Always a Squallywood scene
Lanny B.

This bottom of the hill bar is large, lacks any funky personality, has slow service, and is expensive. So how does it get four stars??? Well, the view up the hill from the deck is awesome. The benches are really comfortable with just the right recline. The SUNSHINE is pure Cali Tahoe gold. The music is loud and good. The beer selection is strong. The food packs calories. For an aprés landing spot or a lazy lunch on the deck, the Base Bar delivers.

Most anemic nachos I've ever tasted, is that really tomato salsa?

Pricey but solid food. Love sitting by the fire pit in a sunny day sipping their spicy Bloody Mary with extra celery.

The view of the mountain is beautiful, there's a huge fire pit in the middle, and the vibes are pretty great.

Overall good food. Everyone was happy with their meal. We…read morestarted off with the poke nachos ( they call it a tuna town which it wasn't) . They were on fried wontons- very good . Would order it again. Had the thai soup with shrimp- the shrimp were grilled perfectly ( they were juicy and tender , yet flavorful) the broth was a little on the thin flavorless side which is such an easy fix - just use more coconut milk. The noodles were a little hard to eat with the soup- didn't know whether to use a fork or spoon or both. The salmon with cheesy grits - the grits were delicious but the salmon seemed a-little mealy vs flaky . Maybe it wasn't very fresh but overall the dish was tasty and all the elements worked well together.

I wanted to try a new restaurant in the Squaw Valley village for my birthday, so we came to the 22…read moreBistro for apres drinks and snacks following our ski day. We snagged the last patio table around 4pm on a weekend. There is an amazing view of the mountain from this patio and it's a great people-watching spot while you hang out and relax. They don't have many waiters who come out to serve the patio, so the hostess told my husband he should go inside to order then the food/drinks would be brought out to us. I was expecting the food to take forever based on how busy they were but was pleasantly surprised that it was only a 15-20 minute wait! We got two appetizers, the baked brie and mediterranean platter. The baked brie was delicious but should have been served with apple slices, crackers, or something to dip with. The mediterranean platter came with all kinds of snacks including hummus, olives, feta, artichoke hearts, and pita. Prices were pretty standard for the village, more than you'd pay for the dish elsewhere but you're paying extra for the view and experience of enjoying it in a ski village. This was a better experience than I've had at other restaurants in this village, so I will definitely be coming back!

Such an amazing meal! Fireside Pizza was the only restaurant with decent reviews in the Village and…read moreI can tell why. What we ordered: + Cobb Salad (5/5): Fresh, flavorful, and great portion size. The blue cheese is pretty strong but the amount of bacon and tomatoes provides a nice offset. It was such a refreshing salad! Only suggestion would be to add more avocado. :,) + Spicy Ravioli (5/5): SOOO YUMMY. The meat sauce in this is the perfect blend of spice and savory flavor. The raviolis are full of cheese and there is an ample amount of meat distributed throughout the sauce. + Mountain Mule (5/5): Strong lime flavor, strong spritz taste! I will totally be coming back here for my next meal in the village.

Restaurant was clean, the staff were very friendly and the host offered to take my order and offered me water. I added a salad to my order and she happily assisted me. Items ordered: Medium half cheese half pepperoni pizza- good and loved that the crust was perfect for us (not too thick or thin) Chicken nuggets with fries- They use cornmeal and my kiddo did not enjoy this texture but it tasted fine. Large Cobb salad- large salad filled with fresh ingredients! So good! Small Greek salad- good salad and fresh ingredients Garlic cheesy bread- kiddo and hubby enjoyed this but it was too cheesy for me. Overall quality of food 3.5 stars. Service and ambiance- 4.

We've been wanting to try this place out for months and we're glad we finally did! The service was…read moregreat, the food was amazing, and the live music and lively atmosphere lent to the amazing experience we had. This place is busy for a reason and the wait is worth it. We came in as Walk-ins and despite the fact that there were 17 parties on the reservation list before us, we still were able to be seated and within 25 minutes. Our server Caroline was quick to get our orders in and as first time visitors, she made excellent suggestions to make our night unforgettable. To start, we had two drinks off the menu, the Whiskey Mango Foxtrot and the Spicy Cucumber Mar-tini. Both were excellent, and the marg-tini had an especially good japalepeno kick, which is what I was looking for. We're normally old fashion kind of drinkers but the Whiskey Mango Foxtrot had excellent flavor and was well balanced, with what tasted like a Tajin mango. The real star of the show was the food though. The server wasn't joking when she said the nachos are best shared with two people, and I even opted for the guacamole. The carnitas were buttery tender and the cheese sauce tasted gourmet and incredibly flavorful. I definitely recommend these! They were probably some of the best nachos I've had, and this is coming from someone that's lived in Santa Barbara for 5 years! Next up was the burrito bowl, and the first thing that comes to mind is: generous! We're used to spending $25 an entree in the city and still leaving the restaurant hungry, but not here. The chips were fresh and crispy and truly taste hand made. The birria beef was amazing and tender and flavorful, and the pickled onions and vinegar sauce was the chefs kiss on an altogether amazing dish. We're so glad to have finally made it over here! Bottom line, this restaurant is worth checking out if you're in the area. It's packed with locals every night, but don't let the long wait times dissuade you, they under-promise and over deliver. These are the best drinks and food with Mexican flare this side of the Sierras, and will become a staple during our visits to the area. If you appreciate good food, drinks, and an amazing mountain atmosphere, you owe it to yourself to put Shadyside Lounge on your short list of places to try, I know I did and the only regret I have is not coming here sooner!

I think I just found the best casual dining spot on the West Shore, hands down. Shadyside serves…read moresome of the most craveable Mexican food I've had! Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and thoughtfully put together. We ordered two encharitos, one with the beef birria and one with the chicken. Both were fantastic, but if you're deciding between the two, get the beef birria. The enchilada sauce is absolutely to die for, and the rich, tender beef put it over the top. The carnitas burrito was incredibleeeee. It was packed with the perfect ratio of carnitas, beans, rice, and all the fixings, so every bite had a little bit of everything. The carnitas were cooked perfectly. It was super tender with great flavor and seasoning. I'm already craving it again. We also started with the guacamole, which was fresh, chunky, and generously portioned. For drinks, we had the House Margarita, the Scratch Cadillac, and the Smoking Gun. The margaritas were refreshing and well-balanced, but a little light on the tequila. The Smoking Gun, on the other hand, had a great spirit-to-flavor ratio. It's definitely smoky (as the name suggests), so if you're a mezcal fan, you'll probably love it (like me!). Service was great. Our waitress was young, incredibly sweet, attentive, and happy to accommodate a few special requests. Just be prepared to wait. It's a small restaurant that's clearly popular, and for good reason. The atmosphere is cute and lively, though it does get pretty loud. That didn't bother me at all, but it's worth mentioning if you're looking for a quieter dinner.
