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.

    Wonderful setting with clear view of Lake Tahoe. Mains were outstanding, Moroccan Lamb, and the fish. First courses were too clever and did not work that well, sunchokes, and beets. Desserts very good. Service only adequate for such an expensive restaurant. Overall the mains and the setting overcame all the other issues.

    I love this restaurant! The food, the service, and view is unparalleled! My husband and I were discussing how much the chefs put into every dish. The menu is creative and has so many options. Go early and enjoy the view! World class experience!

    View was beautiful as was the presentation of the food. Halibut was good, gnocchi was over cooked. Duck was just ok. Duck portion was very small. We went for our 40th wedding anniversary and the hostess acknowledged it but the server did not. We expected better quality food considering price and location.

    Went here to celebrate a birthday for my partner. The only thing good was the location/view of the lake. This was the worst food I’ve had at a fine dining place. The potatoes that came with my wagyu steak were too hard to cut with the knife and chew. We weren’t provided any condiments at the table and when asked for salt and pepper the server gave us attitude and then practically threw the salt and pepper shakers at us on the table. I was hoping this was going to be a very special and memorable dinner and experience. We kept seeing about 3 other parties in the restaurant also celebrating a birthday get provided more attention and even a dessert with candles. We weren’t provided this even though I confirmed with the host that we were celebrating a birthday. We felt ignored and then the manager came over to apologize and asked if we’d like it to take dessert to go which defeats the purpose of celebrating at their restaurant. The food was not satisfying at all and we left still hungry and sadly disappointed.

    Over priced for tiny portions. Small menu with limited options. Staff seemed irritable. Beautiful views though.
