    Haven’t been here in a couple years but remember it having a great menu and ambience. I took a chance on the lamb shank prepared Moroccan tagline style. Almost inedible. Probably 90% fat. I did not say anything to the waiter as I did not want to embarrass my date. She had the halibut and it was excellent. Waiter was attentive and gave us plenty of time to enjoy our cocktails. Actually stayed for about 3 hours with no pressure to leave.

    Love this restaurant. One of our absolute favorites and the best of Tahoe. We visit yearly and are never disappointed. Not a steak and potatoes joint - this is elevated cuisine. Asian fusion with sophistication and great flavor. Chef Douglas is a master. Don’t miss it when in the area!

    Food was mediocre at best. Dining room was extremely warm. Asked to have air conditioning turned up, it either wasn’t working or they couldn’t figure out how.

    This is one of our favorite restaurants in the world: great food, ambiance, and views of the lake. Alejandro, behind the bar, is truly a professional and takes excellent care of us every time we come in. Additionally, dining at Wolfdale's is a haven for valley residents seeking to escape the summer heat or enjoy a few turns at the numerous ski resorts in the area.

    The food was spectacular as usual! We had the sushi combo plate, and the truffle fries are to die for! The zucchini soup was amazing! We love Wolfdale and our regulars when we are in Tahoe.

    The menu, food preparation, evening specials and service were all terrific and presented in a refined manner. We love this restaurant and as local diners return routinely, including this visit for our 40th Wedding Anniversary.
