I keep coming back for the freshest oysters, best udon soup and most extrensive wine list in north tahoe. more on CitySearch

The food was amazing, and we received personal attention from the wine steward who was more knowlesgable than us (a couple of Napa freaks who know a thing or two about wine) to help select some great bottles from their reasonably extensive list. more on Yahoo! Travel

The experience was so good we went back the next night and found the food and service to be equally as good the second time. more on TripAdvisor

Rude is an understatement. Steve, the owner, is not fit to own a restaurant. Save yourself and go to Garwoods. Even ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Management expertly accommodated a party of eight on a very busy night. Service was superb! The wine list was extensive and very fairly priced.

The menu was varied and a number of interesting specials ... more on Yahoo! Travel

We made a reservation for this place a week in advance. A family emergency kept us from even getting up to Tahoe and, my mistake, I didn't call to cancel the reservation while I was in the hospital. The owner, Steve, had the nerve ... more on Yahoo! Travel

This is my favorite restaurant! I highly reccomend the shrimp and lobster bisque for an appetizer and you should split the Filet and lobster with someone. It's amazing but it is alot of food. The wait is a little long but the atmosphere ... more on Yahoo! Travel
