    This is a must if you have access. Food view and service beyond 10 star. You have to love the slippers...

    There are certain places that instantly feel like tradition every time you come back, and Rubicon…read morePizza Company is one of those spots for me. If I'm anywhere near Northstar, it honestly doesn't matter what the plan was -- this will be the place I stop. This time I was in the area for some nighttime tubing and knew exactly where I was heading beforehand. I stopped in and grabbed my usual order: the combination pizza and a Greek salad with shrimp. Some traditions just shouldn't be messed with. Both dishes absolutely knocked it out of the park. The pizza was everything I've come to expect here -- perfectly cooked crust, loaded with toppings, and packed with flavor. The Greek salad with shrimp was just as impressive, fresh, crisp, and a great balance alongside the pizza. It's one of those meals where halfway through you're already thinking about the next time you'll be back. The service here has always been top notch. Every visit I've had the staff has been professional, friendly, and welcoming. It's the kind of consistent hospitality that keeps people coming back year after year. Parking in the village area is usually pretty easy to access, and the surrounding scenery at Northstar is just incredible. Whether you're here during hot summer days coming off the lake or during the cold winter days after being on the mountain, this place fits perfectly into the experience. Every bite of that pizza takes me back to those Tahoe memories -- long summer afternoons, cold mountain air, and good food after a day of adventure. Rubicon Pizza will always be my favorite pizza stop in the area, and it's a place I'll keep coming back to every chance I get.

    We keep coming back to Truckee Tavern every time we're in town, and it keeps earning it. The food…read moreis reliable across the board, which is harder than it sounds for a full-service bar and grill. The mushroom quinoa veggie burger and the half-pound cheeseburger are our go-to orders and have never let us down. The coffee roasted carrots are genuinely worth ordering. They're not what you'd expect, and they're good enough that we've ordered them the last two times. The 10 oz. bistro filet is worth trying if you're in the mood for something more substantial. Portions are solid without being excessive. The bar is a real draw. Full bar, decent wine list, and the service at the bar is attentive without being pushy. The cocktails are well made. The old fashioned in the photo says everything you need to know. What surprised us most: the to-go orders are actually good. We've been burned by to-go from places we love before, so this was a pleasant surprise. Quality holds up. They take reservations and handle groups well. Go ahead and book ahead if you're coming on a weekend. Get the carrots. Order a cocktail at the bar while you wait for your table.

    Usually our absolute fave! But quality is slipping. Not sure why... and so sad about it!…read more This place has been so special to us for years. Amazing service. Dynamite and delicious food. The best roasted carrots (usually!) But the other night we took friends there after raving. Hats off to the amazing host for seating us even though we accidentally made the wrong reservation date (their friendly service is still stellar!!) My pork chop was overcooked even after saying let the chef decide how to cook it. Dry and hard to cut. The normally amazing roasted carrots? Meh. Had a strange taste we didn't like. Maybe the coffee rub? Just seemed hard and flavorless. And my husband and son shared a ribeye that was overdone even though they asked for medium rare. Too tough on outside for sure. The mashed potatoes still rock. And they were out of TWO their signature cocktails. Poor planning? Or take it off the menu. Not sure if the chef or management has changed but I really really hope they get it back together. As I said, this place has meant a lot to us over the years. Hope it was just an off night?
