Restaurants near Big Bend Forest Service Station

We had a terrific meal in a refined, cozy, and quiet dining room. There was a fire in the central fireplace, a view over the snow covered golf course, and the food was excellent. 2 of us shared a starter of grilled octopus, my wife had beef stroganoff, and I had prime rib, accompanied by a Nero d’Avola from Sicily. Although the room was nearly full, it was pleasantly quiet which was relaxing and made it easy to talk Our server, Michael, is outstanding! He is pleasant, attentive, and very knowledgeable about both the food and the wine list. He has taken care of us before and always makes dinner at the Lodge a great experience.

Fantastic dinner with extended family! The Granite Chief cocktail was refreshing and complex. Highly recommend the duck starter. The cut of the day was the bison rib-eye, which was delicious. If they have it, definitely opt for it. My dad had the pork chop, which he praised as better than what he recently had at a 1-star Michelin restaurant in the Bay Area. The catch of the day, sea bream, included Kauai prawn, mussels and delicious mushrooms. The grilled lemon cheesecake was amazing, while the chocolate mousse was shockingly too chocolately for the chocolate fans in my family. Overall, the tastiest meal in the Tahoe area we’ve had in a while. Definitely plan to come back!

We weren’t impressed when we were here during Covid but we decided to give it another try n we were very pleased with the new menu. I had the braised beef short ribs n my bf had the beef Wellington. We had the octopus for our appetizer n it was delicious. We received the sticky toffee pudding for dessert n it was delicious also. I would go back n try the other foods on the menu. I give it five stars because they deserved it.

Excellent service and our dinner and dessert were delicious! Our server was very friendly and attentive. Another great dining experience at Bar of America!

Great food and great service with a beautiful view of the snow covered mountains. The menu has a variety of good options and the portions were generous.
