Restaurants near Up in McCloud

We were very happy to find our neighborhood restaurant open on Thanksgiving Day. The martinis were excellent. We chose the Turkey dinner which was delicious and plentiful. Chris was an exceptional waiter and very attentive.

Le Bistro has been our favorite Tahoe restaurant for 25 years. We just celebrated our wedding anniversary there, and had yet another fantastic dinner. We were greeted quickly, taken to a quiet booth, and received great friendly service throughout the evening. Our food was outstanding, starting with the Napolean of Ahi with wonderful flavors and textures, followed by very flavorful soups, incredibly tender steaks cooked to perfection, and the not-to-be-missed dessert plate with portions of four different desserts. Extra touches like tasty starter bites, homemade bread, and crispy and airy soufflé potatoes were included. Every aspect of our experience was top-notch. Thank you to the entire Le Bistro team for making our anniversary so enjoyable and memorable!

It was my husband’s birthday and we have been trying to get in for a while. It is well worth the wait! I am a horrible food snob and the food and service was transcendent, truly! We were born and raised in SF but had not been to Saison. Tyler Burges has a really unique vision for food and service it is perfectly executed here and we soo appreciate it! Our server was lovely and everyone else was as well! As an aside, we had returned from Italy the month prior and we really noticed the service and the pride that Italians feel with their jobs and it felt like we were transported to another country at Smokedoor. The aesthetics are gorgeous also! We did the 6 course menu and the only thing I didn’t love was the pork belly (but I never like pork belly- lol)! We will definitely be back.

The baked Brie with mushrooms was amazing and so were the crab cakes! Everything we had was delicious but definitely loved these two dishes the best. It’s a pretty small place and was a little noisy but food was delicious so we didn’t mind the noise too much. Will definitely go back again!

The hostess was less than friendly she may need to rethink this job for her! Server was better. I ordered chicken fried steak and my husband got the chicken sandwich. We both shared a side Cesar salad. Food was delicious.
