Best Lunch Restaurants in Carnelian Bay

Love Garwoods. Have been visiting for many years! First time was in 1996

Top to bottom one of the best fine dining experiences we’ve had in a while. We opted for the a la carte seating at the bar and it’s debatably the best seat in the house (5 of their total 31 seats). The Toyosu fish of the day to start was divine and a great lead to the rest of the meal. We placed the entire order at the beginning and they coursed it out for us as great pairings of 2 or so items. The explanation that came as each dish (and cocktail) was presented was very informative and curated, and added that extra level of hospitality that goes beyond just “food service.” We were able to chat with the Chef as he worked on what felt like 100 plates without losing focus, and the communication and efficiency between the entire staff was on full display!

The food was delicious. The service was great. We enjoyed it and will definitely go back.

We had a wonderful dinner! The food was amazing. The ambience is awesome so fun. Right on the river our table looked over a small river with rapids! Fun bar. Would highly recommend.

A beautiful place to eat out in Tahoe. We try to come here whenever we’re in town. It’s a fun and friendly restaurant.
