    Service - Excellence. Very friendly, attractive server. Ambiance - Rustic setting. The window lookout with white snowy background was amazing. Food: Dorm food quality. Burgundy beef stew was like slow cooked for years. The curried cauliflower with chickpea was decent but why added msg?! Brownie sundae was like made from dried hard, old packaged cracker. Very limited food menu options versus huge wine and cocktail list.

    Aspen trees surrounding the restaurant & resort.

    What a nice place to eat as the quaking aspen leaves all turn a myriad of Fall colors...! After sightseeing in Hope Valley and up to Kirkwood, we decided to stop in remembering how good their food is. Tonight we split a humus and naan appetizer and each had a delicious 88 burger with side salad. The restaurant service is not super quick, but they're periodically stopping by to check in on things. The roadside restaurant is surrounded by small rental cabins amongst a beautiful grove of aspen trees, which this time of year were bright yellow, green and some tinges of red. Highly recommend the stop in if you're headed on 88 to or from Kirkwood, Tahoe or the Carson Valley.

    Pesto chicken sandwich

    We down to Sorensen's for lunch today and was super please with out meal. I got their spinach salad and soup of the day, it was a mushroom and barley, and both were delicious. My mom got the pesto chicken sandwich and we split the Käsespätzle which was my favorite thing we ate! They have a seasonal menu that the will be changing soon so come in and get these items before they're gone! The inside of the restaurant is really cute and clean and couldn't be in a prettier location and our server Amy was wonderful. Can't wait to come back and see what new items they have next time!

    salmon!

    are you from the bay area? do you also struggle to find edible food in south lake tahoe? does someone telling you to "do stuff", just to potentially get good espresso resonate? then come to dinner here! it's fresh, delicious, and worth every other positive review that's already around for this place. the beats, salmon, fresh crab crostini, cobbler, and wine all excelled, and (i dare say) was better than most highly rated restaurants in san francisco. great service. great ambiance. great food. highly rated!

The door was a freezer door and then you walk in to the actual bar itself. This is not a bis bar but spacious enough. We walked in and were sat by the booth all the way in the front by the music artist. It was actually so cool how they had the artist who was playing a saxophone, then the guitar then he can also sing and had a good voice. My major feed back with our experience is how the service was slow. We did have a big party, but what was crazy was that there was only one bartender. Mind you there was a host where you walk in and they count how many guest are there. The other person who helped at the bar did not come in until later and I'm not even sure if she actually helped out. Anyways, all their drinks I believe were the same price. I ordered the oasis which was really refreshing and tangy which I really liked. My bf ordered the tales of bourbon which unfortunately he did not like. Even our other friend who ordered the same thing did not like the bourbon. I do think the majority of our group enjoyed their drink. I would definitely say a nice spot to try and highly recommend it.

He had a list of songs to choose from and they're all country slow version so don't expect an upbeat pop song. The popular most requested songs were listed at $20 like Wonderwall. He was nice to let our group sing as if it was karaoke. Keep in mind there were speakers outside on the side walk! For drinks, they have a list of craft cocktails like a coffee section, sippers, beer, mocktails. We ordered: Noel's Espresso Martini - delicious! Cafe Bamboo - Japanese whiskey Bonito - one of the first 3 on the menu that's sweet. This was very pineapple. Bananas in Nola - this is a sipper drink w 100 proof rye whiskey Elixir of the month - coffee old fashion The decor and vibe is very prohibition. During the day, they have a cafe for coffee, lattes and matcha w pastries. The beautiful velvet blue coaches are for reserved parties or first come first serve if no one reserved it. I would recommend to reserve otherwise you'll be at the bar.

Clean, balanced, exactly what I was hoping for first thing in the morning. First espresso shot wasn't great. Something was off in extraction. To their credit, they pulled a second as a consolation and it was definitely better. Not perfect, but improved. I appreciated the effort. The space is kind of cutesy, kind of silly in a charming way. Apothecary vibes, playful decor, not taking itself too seriously. Overall enjoyed the coffee and the scene. I'd come back, probably for another pour over.

He mentioned they had an outdoor firepit and thought I would like it. When we were deciding on dinner, I said we should finally check it out. We walked in and sat ourselves at a high top. It's a combo of go up to the cash register and order plus a server will come and help you out while they deliver the food. Overall food wise, I thought everything was fine. The dip was cheesy. The peppers a little too salty. The salad fulfilled that green craving tho I found the dressing and cheese a lil too heavy handed. And the soup was the comfort I needed on a cold day. I found the fish to be a little heavier in batter than I prefer, but I like most things very lightly battered. The cocktail I got was nice. Balanced and refreshing. Their sangria was on tap, so they just filled up the glass. I did enjoy going outside after we were done eating to hang out around the firepit. Ran into another party of people and we chatted for a bit. We actually brought our drinks outside to enjoy as It was quite chilly that evening. Food was fine. Cocktails were nice. Definitely would go back for the outdoor firepit. REVIEW #3970
