Lobster bisque

Hands down the BEST date night spot. We did the tasting menu and every course was incredible. The lobster bisque deserves its own mention -- incredibly rich and loaded with lobster. From the escargot to the lamb chops and the dessert tasting, everything was flawless. An unforgettable evening and the perfect place for a special night out. We will be back!!

Lamb chops

I have tried all the local restaurants since i moved to Incline and I think this is the best one. I am shocked they have not been busier the 3 times I have eaten here. They are hard to find as they are facing the back of the little strip mall and you cant see them from the street or the parking lot. This restaurant is definitely worth the hunt. Prices are fair for the quality of food. I really enjoyed the 4 course meal. My friend also had the 4 course meal with no overlap in choices so were able to taste 8 different dishes and they were all fantastic.

Intimate ambience, excellent food and service. This turned out to be our best meal of the trip. The place appeared to have a lot of regulars. When we were dining, we noticed the manager greeted many of the customers by name and talked as if they knew each other for years. In fact later in the evening, he even poured himself a glass of wine and sat at one of the tables to chat. Love those kind of places. The decor is simple elegance and the food teeters between rustic and fine dining French. We arrived promptly for our 7pm reservations and was seated right away. As luck would have it, we got a great table ...a cozy corner booth that afforded a view of the entire room. The menu gave us the option of doing a 5 course prefix meal ($70) and/or ala carte. We chose to do 1 prefix and 1 ala carte. Overall, the entire meal was excellent. The special appetizer of the day, Lobster Mushroom Scallop Ravioli and the Veal Chop with a veal stock cream sauce really stood out. The ravioli took a little long to arrive but we weren't in a hurry. Excellent service. Efficient and unobtrusive. The captain waiter and back waiter worked well as a team while the manager helped to pick up any slack. Small operation but well executed. We will definitely return on our next trip. Happy Eating!!

We always look forward to coming back every year to this cute little Bistro! Their food is cooked to perfection, and their service is amazing! I almost couldn't get a table for NYE, but David made it happen! Tonight, we had the perfect meal to end 2024. See you again in 2025!! Please continue to be amazing!!

Had a great birthday experience and the staff was so sweet to make a custom dessert plate! Service was outstanding, but the food didn't match the level of service we received. Highly disappointed in the quality and freshness of the food served. Lobster Bisque en Croute - although it looks so scrumptious, it tasted like a chowder, not a bisque. Way too much cream, and the only lobster flavor coming through was in the chunks of lobster on the bottom of the soup. Cesar Salad - never had a ceased salad that was presented with a piece of anchovy on top. Presentation was unappetizing. Tuna Hamachi - although the presentation was nice, the taste was horrible. The fish tasted so old and chewy, I was very disappointed. The hamachi and tuna was not fresh and had such a fishy aftertaste that I couldn't finish the dish. Lobster Ravioli - Pasta tasted old and chewy, and so did the sauce. Very rich, but not in a good way. Tasted like old, reheated ravioli. The dessert plate was the best part of the meal. The crème brûlée was to die for, but I am not sure if that was house made. If so, then I'm hooked! Not generally a fan of this dessert but the caramelized top layer was sooo good, and the crème filling was the perfect texture. So creamy without tasting like a pudding. The chocolate cake piece was also delicious with raspberry sauce. Yum!

My family took a trip to Lake Tahoe for Thanksgiving and I made reservations for thanksgiving dinner at Le Bistro. I really wanted to love the restaurant but it was a disappointing experience. The food took forever to be served. And it was bad from the start. My daughter's bow pasta was uncooked in the middle and we had to send it back to get it cooked again. I ordered the escargot and it tasted bland, the last one even had sand in it. The Lobster and scallop ravioli had lobster shell in it. My mother ordered the special Grilled Salmon, and it was still raw inside. My filet mignon was probably the most delicious dish. But the pork just tasted weird. For the price I expected much better quality and attention to detail of the food.

This is a cute little restaurant near the lake nestled away in the trees. They have a vast wine list but also do cocktails. You can order food a la carte or do their several course meal. I did the four course meal which included an appetizer, salad, entree, and dessert. For the appetizer I got the crab cakes. They were a little tiny and overly fried. Their sale was a little bigger and filling. For the entre I got the filet minion. Now that meat was butter, obviously order it medium rare! The mash potatoes were a little hard for my taste but still delicious. For the dessert, they give you a plate of four mini treats to eat. The crème brûlée was the star out of the minis. The service was attentive but felt rushed. Go for their wine selection and that filet minion!

Great meal at Le Bistro the other night! My favorite was the gnocchi with morel and truffle cream sauce. Service was good and the atmosphere was quiet; perfect for a romantic date night. I'd say the prix fixe menu was a good value for the quality of the food, but wine prices were quite high.

I haven't given a 5 star rating this fast in a very long time. Without a doubt the best restaurant in Incline village if you're looking for that higher style/fine dining experience. First off, Paul and Diego were fantastic. Very professional but not uptight at all. They seem to be enjoying their jobs and served us in a very timely matter. They'd have conversation while also serving an entire restaurant and not once did I notice them make any mistakes not with us nor other tables. They stayed proficient and on top of everything. Very strong staff here. The atmosphere, the moment I walk in I felt such a cozy at home warmth from the spot. It's quant, it's small, it's warm. Most restaurants in town seek this modern or gastro look and to me it feels forced or lacking personality--all copying ideas that aren't really coming from them. This place sticks out and gives you a personality that can completely pair well with what they're serving. And now the best part, the food. Starting from apps to main course--and only getting more delicious with each dish. We started with horderves--flat bread pizza type thing and these flaky cheese balls. Terrible way to execute what they actually are but I don't know French. They were fantastic appetizer openers. Paired well with the viogner I got. Appetizers rolled in after that escargot and ravioli's. Honestly, escargot wasn't for me but I've heard raves about it and while the flavors were all there. My mind wouldn't allow That texture to go unnoticed. The raviolis were a bit bland with the sauce and probably my least favorite of the dishes we ordered. While we're on topic of least favorite items, the veggies do coke unseasoned it seems. Mashed potatoes, carrots, and asparagus were just that--nothing to compliment their flavor. We followed with the lobster bisque. First bite made me realize it's only going to get better from here on end. The bisque was so full of flavor and the flake pastry that lay on top just melts in the mouth when dipped and served. I don't eat lobster bisque often for it doesn't always do the job. But wow was this soup a treat. Main course came--holy hell was that a perfect experience. We shared the scallops and filet. Scallops were big, tender, flavorful. I've never had scallops this way in my life and would only hope to find a dish that can compare to these one day. But that filet. Absolutely mouth watering. Every single bite is close my eyes and ride the waves of the Cabernet reduction. The perfect tenderness to the filet cooked medium rare. Juiciest steak I've ever had. I was about to order it again to take on another ride--but was definitely getting full at that point. No room for dessert unfortunately. All in all, can't believe I didn't come here sooner. I'll 100% be back and can't stress enough how amazing this restaurant is.

I entered and sat at the bar because the place was busy and it was a 20 minute wait. I ordered the special. The appetizer was Seared Scallops with a coconut cream polenta. The scallops were done right seared on both sides and the polenta was creamy and full of flavor. Then came the Spaghetti Bolognese which I was looking forward to. It looked appealing but once I tried it the flavor was not what I expected. It was a meat sauce but not a traditional bolognese. It had a different flavor with no tomatoes I think it was mainly wine based. Unfortunately I was expecting a traditional bolognese and it threw me off. And I asked for bread and they didn't have any. I took the dessert home a yellow cake with cream and a raspberry sauce. It was very good. The main thing I'm disappointed with is the Spaghetti Bolognese being not a traditional bolognese. I have eating breakfast here before and it was quite good.

Here is what we noticed: - It's a pretty unassuming place...we parked in the side lot and walked around to their main entrance. They even had some specials highlighted as we entered. - Inside there is lots of seating...when we arrived the front of the place was empty, but people were sitting there when we left and we noticed that it is much quieter in that section of the restaurant than in the main dining room. - As others have noted, chorizo is their specialty and it's in many of the dishes. And, it is worth it!...and, not spicy like you might think of chorizo. My wife and I ordered the Quesadilla and the Basque Omelette, and we split both (plus, we took some home too). Each dish was really good in its own right, and being able to have the chorizo prepared two ways was great. Their home fries were really tasty too. - Service was good....very attentive, especially considering that it took us a while to decide what to order given the breadth of the menu. - We paid cash because of their sign indicating that that was preferred. Bottom line: We'd go back to Villa Basque Cafe anytime we're in Carson City...next time, we'd like to try some of their lunch options!

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!
