About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views

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.

    July 4th six course pre fix menu. Food was exceptional, great service, and then the fireworks started at 9:30pm with a perfect view from their deck. Bucket list stuff

    We would be regulars if we lived here! Fantastic, warm and caring service. Great ambience and views. Thoughtfully prepared dishes with attention to detail both visually and on the palate. We started at Sandman while we waited for our table to be ready and enjoyed the view, music and super friendly and attentive service. Lisa the hostess was all calm, grace and a welcoming smile in the eye of the storm but not to busy to chat for a few minutes. Our waiter Hoke was super professional but fun and relaxed. The staff make this place, and made us, feel special and welcome. And of course the view at sunset can’t be beat 😉

    The view, whether sitting inside or out is amazing. The duck was very good. The wine list contains mostly blended wines but doesn't inform you what the varietal blend is or the year of production. The waiter couldn't tell us and the wine we chose was disappointing. A special ocassion place.

    We had a party of 4, and were placed at a table outside with a very scenic view. Ambiance was very nice. I'd researched quite a lot, but the wine list was far more extensive than I realized and the menu actually a bit more brief. The fish and duck were fabulous. As was the wine. This must be the best spot for dinner in Tahoe City. If you can get in I'd recommend it. It is very nice.

    The noise from below the deck in the casual bar area was quite excessive from certain people and one server.
