Ambience: A restaurant with a great view, with takes right by the Truckee river. You can enjoy the calming sound of the flowing river as you enjoy your meal.
Seating: They have proper indoor seating and lots of outdoor seating as well with the heaters. Despite that don't forget to carry a jacket as it tends to be cooler by the river. They have high top tables, regular and seating by the outdoor bar. There are just a few tables along the river if you want the views.
Food: The food is fresh and a well curated menu. The menu is different on Mon & Tue as compared to the rest of the days. The portion size for all of their dishes is very huge. Appetizers and shared plates can serve more than 2 depending on what you order. Everyday they have a chefs special, don't forget to ask them about it.
Parking: They have plenty of parking onsite.
Lodging: They also have Lodging options with rooms attached to the restaurant.

This review is for the restaurant. This place truly is a wonderful restaurant to enjoy delicious food, get great service, hear the river rushing by, smell the pine trees in the air and have an enjoyable evening away from the craziness of near by N. Tahoe. All of the dishes and drinks I've eaten here (2x) were delicious. Lamb, bison ribs, pork chops, salads, chicken nuggets w/fries (kids 😉) and drinks were delicious. If you can get outdoor seat, it's amazing, but indoor by the river is very very nice as well. Again this place is worth the $$$, and a visit next time you are up in this area.

It was so rude after a nice New Year's Eve dinner to hear silence in response to our "thank you and happy new year" in return.
Both waiters pretended not to notice us as we were leaving the restaurant.
This last minute experience ruined the whole service. The food was good.

Visited as part of a business trip. We had the Brussels with shishito peppers which was delicious and fairly large portion. For entrees, had a special (sirloin, potatoes, mushrooms) and the elk chops. Overall, entrees were good but steak which was ordered medium rare was close to medium well/well done and the dish was very under-salted - which is saying something as I never ever add salt to my food. I would definitely eat here again, but maybe would try other entrees instead.

This review is for the restaurant. It is a very nice setting on the Truckee river. It can get very busy when rafting is in session but this summer it is not. Live music in the patio with a nice bar. We did dinner inside and had a nice window seat. The Chile verse soup was fantastic as was the wedge salad and beet salad. I had the shrimp and cod dish which was nice and light…..quite good. My wife had the bison short ribs. They were very good but she only got a few pieces of meat mixed in with the Brussels sprouts. Thankfully we were both full, but for $44, e expected more. In the end, we enjoyed our dinner. It was not cheap. We spent $250 for two of us including only three drinks. Our waitress was very good.
