    Jackson was a great server. We had Rocker burgers, both beef and veggie. They both were delicious and perfectly cooked. The garlic fries were flavorful and the side salad fresh, we enjoyed our lunch very much. We will be back.

    Always a great time at the Rocker. Great location and vibes. I got the delicious Kuaui Chicken Sandwich which was nice and filling after a long bike ride.

    Try the shishito peppers...spicy, but fabulous!

    We enjoyed happy hour on the sunny patio with a beautiful blue sky and a view of the mountain at Olympic Valley during off season. The margarita and rosé were delicious, and the shishito peppers were so flavorful with a thai oil and garlic aioli sauce. I love mild spicy thai food, so I loved it! Jackson gave us great service and helped with wine choices. We are coming back tomorrow for the 10-2 brunch, and likely for happy hour all week that we are here!

    Cold beer after a Via Ferrata, great food and friendly service... and the view!! Oh did I mention the garlic fries! Yah!!! Olive kills it! Rocker burger and fries!

    Turkey BLT. Nothing crazy, got the job done.

    Overall 3. out of 5 The food got the job done but wasn't anything to rave about. Service was good, no complaints.

    Breakfast sandwich on sourdough instead of bagel. It was an average breakfast sandwich and potato's were a bit over seasoned for my liking.

    Bunch spot in Olympic village. My wife really enjoyed the avocado toast that came with a light salad. It seemed like one of their top brunch items and it was served on a board which was fun. The breakfast sandwich was average and the potatoes were heavily seasoned. I would not order it again. They have a good kids menu with chocolate chip pancakes at reasonable prices.

    4 stars for the service! Every time I come, they are really nice and attentive. The portions are consistent, and I like that they're open year-round. The Rocker burger is my favorite item on the menu. It probably won't be the best burger you've ever had, but it hits the spot after a day skiing or hiking and the fries are well-seasoned.

    Mo was a great server who kept us refreshed while enjoying the view. The Rocker Burger was out of this world. The meat was so tender, the taste incredible, and flavors melded like nothing we've ever tasted before! We will def visit again!

    We discovered this fantastic restaurant last year and loved it so much that we made it a must-visit…read moreagain over the weekend. Without question, SPOON's chefs create some of the best cuisine on the West Coast. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and made with quality ingredients. My wife and I are very fitness- and health-conscious, so we especially appreciate their delicious chicken and fish entrées. On this visit, I ordered an extra side of their chicken with the chipotle rub--absolutely fantastic! Their linguini is a treat. It was a special celebration for us, we completed the evening with their dessert of the day, a passion fruit cheese cake served with whipped cream and a passion fruit sauce. The cake was very moist and we could have eaten the sauce by the cup. Beyond the food, we love the ambiance and the genuinely warm hospitality. There's something special about the entire experience at SPOON. We can't wait to return next year!

    SPOON is truly one of our favorite dining experiences in Tahoe City--and an annual tradition we…read morelook forward to every year. Unforgettable cuisine! In fact, we dine at SPOON every evening throughout our entire visits. That's how much we love it! What makes SPOON exceptional is its signature fresh, organic cuisine, where every dish is specialty designed with incredible attention to detail and elevated, memorable flavors. Each plate feels creative, thoughtful, and uniquely crafted rather than simply prepared. The cuisine is a reflection of the two owners--both chefs--who bring more than 25 years of culinary expertise each, with a passion centered on flavor, creativity, quality, and organic ingredients. Their experience and dedication are evident in every bite. The setting is wonderful year-round. SPOON consistently delivers an experience that feels personal and welcoming. During the summer, the beautiful outdoor patio is a perfect place to dine--and yes, it's wonderfully dog friendly! In winter, the atmosphere transforms into a cozy, inviting indoor dining experience. Another bonus: you can bring your own favorite bottle of wine to enjoy with your meal. Photos are examples of what we ordered. Our starter: Soup of the Moment - changes regularly- Mexican Squash & Beef Soup with verdolagas and roasted poblano peppers, and lime marinated chickpeas. Our dinner order: Organic Chicken Breast, herb marinated, skin-on breast, oyster mushrooms, roasted potatoes & Caribbean jerk pesto. Chipotle Rubbed Organic Legs, brined, rubbed & roasted leg quarters with chickpea salad, avocado salsa verde & shaved radish. Side Pan-Roasted Fish - King Salmon Linguini with Roasted Garlic Tomatoes & Parmesan For dessert: Sweetness of the moment - Raspberry Crumble Cake with whipped cream and raspberry compote. To take home for our midnight snacks we ordered both of their specialty signature deserts: Chocolate Truffle Medallions, (3) dark chocolate ganache medallions, with coconut, almond meal & a touch of sea salt. Million Dolla' Slice, layered buttery shortbread bar, salty caramel, dark chocolate ganache & toasted almonds. For us, SPOON isn't just a restaurant--it's a delicious culinary experience.

    EXQUISITE FOOD WITH A VIEW…read more This is one of the few restaurants in Tahoe City I hadn't been to, so my sister made reservations for my birthday. Since we arrived fifteen minutes early, the hostess sent us upstairs to the rooftop bar to wait. The view was gorgeous, and we perused the menu. Our hostess returned at the exact time of our reservation and escorted us downstairs to our window table where there was a cute Happy Birthday sign, along with a lake view. So many tempting items were on the menu! We started with PNW Oysters ($4 each). Since we were skeptical because it was still August, we only ordered 4. What a mistake! I could easily have eaten more of these fantastic and fresh ocean delicacies. Next we had the Gyoza Dumplings ($18) - 6 Chicken and Vegetable flavorful pastries with a creamy ginger dip. My sister was still craving the Ahi Poke Cones ($14), which I had originally vetoed, so I succumbed to requesting them at the last minute. Fortunately, our helpful server could accommodate this sudden change. Like everything we selected, these light and crispy cones were beautifully plated. We both opted for the same entree - Grilled Filet Mignon ($59), and the chef was kind enough to make mine medium. Every tender morsel with the demi glaze was a scrumptious delight. So were the Yukon Mashed Potatoes. We were so satiated, that we took a brief look at the dessert menu and passed. That didn't stop the waiter from bringing us a pretty Dark Chocolate Mousse with a candle and a birthday greeting. Of course, we couldn't resist sharing this thoughtful treat. By the time we were done with this feast, we were so full we had to get some exercise, so we took a look at the Bacci Ball court and the fire pit below the restaurant. When we popped by the bar, we ran into people we knew and had a great time reconnecting. All in all, it was a stellar evening. Adding dinner at Wolfdale's to my unique "musts" whenever I'm in Tahoe.

    We were also there last night (Greg H. & Carmen H.) and witnessed the interaction that has been…read moredescribed, and the claims about "terrible screaming kids" are simply not accurate. The service, staff, and overall evening were wonderful. The children were well behaved and acting exactly as you would expect at a family-friendly restaurant. Wolfdale's has always been a place where families are welcomed, and that was certainly our experience. What we did witness was the complaining party confronting and harassing the family with children, which was unnecessary, rude, and completely uncalled for. We have been coming to Wolfdale's since we were children ourselves, and it has always been one of our favorite restaurants because of its warm, welcoming atmosphere and exceptional service. Unfortunately, every now and then, there are people who seem to believe the world should cater exclusively to them. Thank you to the entire Wolfdale's team for handling the situation with professionalism, grace, and kindness while making all of your guests feel welcome. That is exactly why we will continue to return.
