About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
A memorable dining experience awaits you as you enter the Christy Hill Restaurant in the center of Tahoe City. The restaurant sits on the shoreline of Lake Tahoe on an elevated embankment offering diners a panoramic vista. The intimate setting offers guests a view that is only upstaged by the cuisine, wine and service. Spectacular sunsets that can be seen from every table is just one of the many reasons that Christy Hill was voted "Most Romantic Restaurant" and "North Lake Tahoe's Iconic Restaurants with World-Class Views" by the San Francisco Chronicle.

Executive Chef, Luis Vallin, focuses on sustainability and innovation, supporting local merchants and farmers. The thoughtful and playful menu pays homage to the tradition of Christy Hill while continuing to uplift and propel the cuisine and restaurant into exciting new territory.

    We always have at least one dinner at Christy Hill every time that we visit North Lake Tahoe. As always the food was great, the service was great and views were terrific.

    I’ve had the pleasure and privilege of eating at some wonderful restaurants in my life, but the tasting menu we had Friday night at Christy Hill was quite possibly be the most delicious and well executed meal I’ve ever had. Every single detail was perfect. I noted the noise level as loud, but that might just have been because of one particular woman in the center of the restaurant that had one too many glasses of wine. Other than that, I highly recommend!

    Food was delicious and service was great. We eat at multiple Michelin Star restaurants annually and felt the price per dish was a bit high, not dramatically, but a little bit. Interior was a little worn in some spots and lacked the elegance for what we were paying for. The view though was amazing. The plating was superb and all of our food was IG worthy. Everyone in our party enjoyed dinner and would return. The staff was excellent, friendly, accommodating, and provided an upscale experience.

    To start, Christy Hill is my favorite restaurant in the Tahoe Truckee basin. I live full time in Truckee and love the lake views from both indoor and outdoor seating. That said this visit (2nd one in a week) was dissapointing. The new “spring” menu is very limited. I used to love the Angoletti but this version is more a soup than a pasta dish, I would suggest offering it without the broth. My friend ordered the lamb and she actually sent it back as it had no lamb flavor whatsoever. I tasted it and really thought is was beef. Our server got involved in a very long discussion with a single customer and pretty much ignored our table for a long time. All that said I of course will continue my visits to Christy Hill but please offer more main courses on the menus .

    Always a favorite. From the moment you come in to meet Christina or Brook you know your evening is going to be fantastic. Janice Aron Britteny Carsten and Stephanie always do a great job I’m making you feel like you’re the only one in there even though it’s always very busy because the food is so good. Lynn is new, but she was not an exception to the great experience we have gotten used to. The views are also amazing.

    Consistently exceptional. We mentioned that it was my husband’s birthday and they brought him a beautiful dessert. Service is so great. This place never disappoints.
