Pesto Pasta
Jill C.

This one has been on my list for a while. We ended up making a reservation here while family was in town. It's a beautiful space with lots of wood beams and glass - would be neat for a reception space. We started with scallops and pita bread as appetizers. The portions were tiny - even the pita bread! Disappointing. Service was friendly but very slow....the kitchen is small and could not seem to handle the demands of the diners. We got a mix of chicken, pasta, and steak and salad for entrees. Everything was tasty and plated beautifully. The time it took to get the food was too much.

Steak with mashed potatoes
Tara K.

Tried out this spot last month with some gfs. We were really excited to try it based on the reviews and menu offerings. The staff greeted us right away and were kind enough to take some photos for us. The place was pretty easy to find although there isn't a ton of parking. We got lucky and it wasn't super packed but was busy enough. The place is well decorated and loved the overall ambiance/vibe. The wait time for the food was much longer than we expected but we weren't in a rush at all so didn't mind. We appreciated that they brought over an appetizer for us to munch on that was complimentary...so thoughtful! We noticed there was only one chef in the kitchen which seemed like way too much work for him to handle. Not sure if they were short staffed that night or if he's the only one there every night. Poor guy, would probably get burnt out overtime. Regardless, we didn't really mind waiting and appreciated the thoughtfulness. The server made great suggestions and answered all of our questions. I order the steak and mashed potatoes with broccolini. I asked for medium-rare and definitely got more on the medium side...not a huge deal as it was very flavorful so I was still happy. The mashed potatoes were fantastic and the broccolini was the best broccolini I've ever eaten! Perfectly cooked but I was bummed in that they only gave me one piece:/ would've been nice to have 3 or so:/ Most of my friends enjoyed their meals although one of my friends didn't really enjoy her beet salad tbh. The staff also comped our dessert which we shared. I can't quite remember now which we ordered but it was great! Was a chocolate torte I believe, if memory serves me correctly. Overall, this restaurant was great and although I gave 4 stars I think it needs some minor tweaking. Perhaps just an off night but definitely would come here again & try more dishes when I'm back in Tahoe!

This restaurant is tucked away at a boutique hotel (Gravity House). It has a somewhat rustic feel with the wood construction of the place. Wood fired oven provides a 4D experience. Services was so nice and attentive. Food was really good here: Brussels sprouts were a great appetizer Burrata with focaccia was good as well Carrots with honey and ricotta was so good Cod dish was light and had great balance of flavor Pasta with short rib ragout was delish - albeit pretty heavy Roasted chicken was also amazing as well Only downside is that it's slightly more expensive since you're in a resort area essentially. I mean skiing isn't a cheap thing.

Poke appetizer
Yes R.

The location at gravity Haus is very convenient since we were straying there. Service is a little slow, but the food was excellent. Really enjoyed our pokey appetizer, which was more like a tuna stack with marinated tuna, mashed avocado avocados some blood orange on top, which was a nice touch and sesame seeds. my husband had the filet mignon with chimichurri which he enjoyed. I'm of a red chimichurri than a green one. And I have the salad with shaved wasbrussel sprouts and kale. Very filling. The setting is very nice and tranquil

Salmon

Food was delicious and presentation very nice. Calamari was interesting, sitting on a bed of a soy based sauce with a yellow spicy sauce. The salmon presentation and flavor were excellent. Those in my party had steak frites and braised short ribs, which were equally delicious. Bread was corn bread like with a subtle sweetness. We sat at an outside patio which was pleasant and warm. As we were the only party sitting outside, we did feel a little forgotten at times. Overall restaurant was above average and very quaint.

Indoor , outdoor space, modern mountain architecture, I guess it's part of the Gravity Hotel ? The food : amazing, we enjoyed our meals and all dishes were delicious, every component was tasty, carefully placed on your plate , the sauces : lots of flavor and we just enjoyed to the last bit . It was a special occasion, glad we went to Stella , it took a bit to get a table free for us in the area they welcome patrons with dogs but we appreciate a restaurant being Dog friendly ! Definitely recommend it , don't rush, just enjoy and kudos to everyone working there because they are busy , don't have enough staff and still deliver service with a smile.

We stayed at the Gravity Haus so we have been enjoying breakfast here but due to ice and snow we couldn't meet with our family for dinner and Stella accommodated us. The food was fabulous. We started with the cornbread baked with the miso butter. It was really good. Maybe the best cornbread ever! It was moist like cake and so delicious! I had the chicken dish served over sweet potatoes and peppers. It had a bit of a smoky taste but not overpowering and was in a spicy but sweet sauce. Very very delicious. My husband and son had the wagyu double double with fries and reported that it was one of the best burgers ever! Service was very good! They only have wine and beer in the restaurant so we did have to go to the front desk bar area for cocktails. We had espresso martinis from there and they were very good. Very good food and excellent service.

24 hr Tri-Tip
Amy S.

Great spot for a nice dinner in Truckee. My family really enjoyed the octopus and cauliflower appetizers, as well as the king salmon and tri-tip. The salmon was definitely the highlight and the sourdough Tartine was solid. The only dish we ordered that was so-so was the halibut as it came out a bit dry. We sat outdoor on the patio which was lovely and had a cute vibe. Service was great!

Had a beautiful dinner tonight. The tomato soup, mushroom soup, scallops, and salmon were all delicious. Our waiter, John, was exceptional!

Visiting from Bay Area and want to treat our Truckee friends to lunch. Need warm outdoor seating. Have a small dog who can be crated if necessary.Reservations?

Hi Jomary, thank you for reaching out. We currently do not service lunch and our patio dining is not open during the winter months. Moody's is a great option for lunch. They have heated outdoor seating and they also allow dogs.
