    My husband and I celebrated this birthday with a very tasty cocktail and a delicious, unique meal. The servers were very personable and friendly and smiled and paid attention to when we needed them and when we didn't. We will definitely be back.

    Outstanding experience with the family especially with my foodie girls. Food was like nothing I had before and showcases Doug’s creativity with fresh ingredients and seafood. Best dining by far in Tahoe. Christine’s hospitality made us feel at home and attentive to any request. Consistent experience with the creative desserts. Had to try them all! Great place to celebrate a special occasion. Don’t come to the Palisades and not have a reservation here!
