- JJenniferGoldSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews5.0Dined on Jul 2, 2026We had an outstanding dinner! We were seated on the first floor next to the window which had a gorgeous view of the shimmering lake. We appreciated the shades being down and it didn’t hinder our view. We sat on the same side of the table (2 of us at a four top) so that we could both enjoy the view (there was a nice brown fence on one side to hide the construction). Highly recommend the caviar- I usually don’t like chips with caviar but these gaufrettes (which look like waffle cut chips) are made in the restaurant, and not too thick- they were delicate with a light crunch. The oil on the crème fraiche was an elegant touch and gave it a nice complex taste. The king prawn tostada was ok, I thought the tostada was a bit thick. We did cut it up with a knife and fork which ended up being loud :) but the prawns were seasoned well. The Blue crab entree was fantastic- the pasta was perfect and the sauce was amazing! I wish we both ordered it although we shared both entrees. The Lobster was very good- not traditional - the claws were covered in chili panko, the cherry-pecan conserve was delicious (and I don’t usually like nuts). I’m glad I declined the vanilla bourbon butter to be drizzled- I opted to do it myself but after I tasted it, I didn’t end up eating it because it was too sweet for my taste. The entrees were smaller than we expected but we we happy about that because we didn’t feel stuffed- and had room for dessert! Dessert was the chocolate strawberry sabayon- we ate every last bit! Coconut sorbet and the Chocolate pistachio royal- delicious. My favorite drink was the Laundry & Taxes- slightly sweet, amazing lychee flavor (but not too overpowering). Second was the Carajillo- perfectly balanced, I thought it was exquisite. Overall absolutely amazing meal and experience. Staff was very professional yet warm. Hope to travel to Tahoe and dine here again!More infoThe Edge Restaurant and Lounge$$$$• Farm-to-table• Stateline•4.8
