A memorable dining experience awaits you as you enter the Christy Hill Restaurant in the center of Tahoe City. The restaurant sits on the shoreline of Lake Tahoe on an elevated embankment offering diners a panoramic vista. The intimate setting offers guests a view that is only upstaged by the cuisine, wine and service. Spectacular sunsets that can be seen from every table is just one of the many reasons that Christy Hill was voted "Most Romantic Restaurant" and "North Lake Tahoe's Iconic Restaurants with World-Class Views" by the San Francisco Chronicle.

Executive Chef, Luis Vallin, focuses on sustainability and innovation, supporting local merchants and farmers. The thoughtful and playful menu pays homage to the tradition of Christy Hill while continuing to uplift and propel the cuisine and restaurant into exciting new territory.

    Once again Christy Hill was outstanding. The food was inventive and absolutely delicious! I had the octopus appetizer which was flavorful and nicely plated. The parsnip puree soup was great for a wet cold night. The duck breast with mole sauce was wonderful as was the lamb with stuffed peppers. We also enjoyed our favorite orange wine. We highly recommend Christy Hill!

    An exceptional meal in a lovely setting. The four of us dined liked kings at Christy Hill. We started with four delicious appetizers and liked the tuna crudo and brussel sprouts best. Highlights of our main dishes were the black cod and the lamb. Loved that the food was served on warm plates. And we finished with the chocolate croissant bread Pudding. Delicious! Service was impeccable.

    Very cozy restaurant with excellent food. My favorite restaurant in Tahoe City. Everything is delicious at this restaurant and staff are very friendly. Our party of 4 ordered 5 appetizers and 4 different entrees and we wiped out plates clean. Everyone was super happy with their food.

    Food was good, felt our waiter could be better. When of my plates had a chip in it as well which I would not expect from this level of restaurant. Cost check would also be a nice feature to have in the future.

    Salmon filletes on brioche toast was outstanding. Perfect for sharing. Halibut and duck breast were the perfect entrees. We live in Nevada city but if Christy Hill didn’t require an overnight we would dine there more often. Our waiter recommended a wonderful bottle of wine. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about the new menu without being intrusive.
