The Lodge restaurant delivers once again! Beautiful setting, friendly atmosphere & super friendly staff. The food is consistently reasonably high quality and tasty. Lodge burger always on point! Pasta special was delish but could have used a few more cherry tomatoes (I had 2) given it was a cherry tomato preparation, fresh basil would be lovely too. Fresh warm bread & butter..yum! All in all a great time. We’ll be back😋😊

Lindsey our server was amazing. The Lodge always has beautiful and scenic views. The food was delicious and drinks tasty, especially my Mai Tai! Again, huge congratulations to Michael being promoted to The Lodge Manager - well deserved! He was always our favorite server and now he’ll be our favorite Lodge Manager. We love going to dinner there. Thank you for a wonderful dinner.

The table near the fireplace was perfect for dinner on a cold snowy night. Enjoyed the brussel sprouts appetizer, entrees and a 2019 Pinot from penned-ash. Great service as well.

Unfortunately, the food was too salty, and the shrimp on my pasta special was not very good. We like the ambiance of the restaurant, and that it is so close to our place in Tahoe Donner. We want to love this restaurant, but the salt level needs to be dialed down, and better or fresher shrimp needs to be sourced.

We were seated at a nice little table near the fireplace. The room was relatively quiet and slowly filled up with families probably on spring break. I had a lavender mock tail and my partner s ginger mock tail. Both were so good. We shared a beet salad,that had shaved beets and macadamia nuts. It was a great way to start our meal. The halibut was excellent. It sat on a carrot purée, accompanied by pickled onions, and baby potatoes. Overall a great experience and meal.

I had the burger and beer special, which was promoted as a juicy 1/3 burger. I ordered without the bun and what I got was a well done, dry patty the size of a McDonald's size burger-Very disappointing! First time it was a poor meal at the lodge - I hope this was a 1 off experience.

We will never come back unfortunately. The service was very very slow and the restaurant was not very accommodating to a person in our party who has a dairy allergy. There were 7 of us. We sat there for an hour before our wine arrived, after letting us know 45 minutes before that that the wine we chose was not available. It was suggested that our dairy allergy guest eat a kid's meal. We asked if she could ask the chef what we could do and he only recommended the shrimp tacos. She ended up ordering a salad with grilled chicken, so simple and easy, we didn't understand the issue. This person is knows her allergy is a pain but the restaurant didn't even try. Our whole experience felt like they wished our group was not there. We were polite, not rowdy and felt put off by the whole thing.
