The hummus plater was delicious as was the arugula and little gem salads. The flourless chocolate cake was a true delight for capping off a great meal. Service from Ella was exemplary as usual.

Incredible service, delicious food, and beautiful dining room with views of the Disney and Lincoln. We enjoyed every moment—from the gondola ride over to the yummy birthday dessert.

Five stars for the unique experience Having dined at every restaurant on the North shore and having many favorites in Truckee we decided to have more of an adventure dinner by going to the dining room at Sugar Bowl. Just the experience of getting on a 1960s era gondola to get to your dinner is a thrill and sets the tone for the evening When you arrive at the hotel itself there is a lot of energy young families kids and vacationers that make it feel energetic and lively The hotel and dining room itself have been updated recently and it has a nice rustic yet modern feel. The menu is focused and not overly ambitious. The service is solid to very good The food is on par with traditional North shore cooking... And the prices are reasonable for vacation town USA We will return and it is a place that we will likely bring a number of couples and friends for The unique Tahoe experience that is unmatched.

A wonderful evening. The hummus appetizer was perfect with lots of hummus , garlic and the naan was the best we have ever had. The scallop appetizer was cooked perfectly but wish there were more than 2 scallops for $26. The argula salads we both had were tasty and filling.
