   What a gem! Both Granlibakken and its Cedar House Pub harken back to the days when Tahoe wasn't all about crowds and ostentatious displays of wealth. The staff, service & food are superb and the entire operation feels comfortable & effortless. A place to return again & again...

   Great food, but service was slow and the host was extremely rude. We had a reservation and was told we didn’t have a place to sit outside and was not warm or friendly. Great food however offputting

   The food was fantastic. We had the salad with the steak which was superb and the other entrée was the lobster roll which was excellent. The restaurant was quite busy which was good to see and the service was pretty good. We will definitely be going back as it was a great spot for a wonderful dinner and enjoyed the ambience.

   First off, the restaurant itself was hard to find as there are no signs specific to the restaurant. We drove all around looking for it. Note it’s in the main lodge building, up some outside steps. The shrimp skewer was to die for! My husbands steak sandwich was so tender and delicious (and huge). I got the lobster roll, supposedly it’s their specialty, and it was super disappointing. No flavor at all, served on a potato hot dog bun, and must have been imitation. I ate maybe a third of it. Not worth the $22 price! The bartender and our waiter were super friendly and fun with great senses humor. The deck was cute and casual, it was a warm night so perfect night to be outside.

    We were seated right away but then it got a little interesting from there. We were told many of the appetizers were no longer available (apparently a very large group came though the place) so we didn’t really have many options. My husband then ordered what he thought was a small house salad and not until it showed up did we realize it was a dinner salad. Guess it wasn’t clear originally. Then another waiter came to take the menus to which we explain we haven’t ordered yet (the rest of us now that we realized the salad was a dinner item). We ended up ordering a simple grilled chicken burger, and another salad but with an added protein. It took a long time to get those two items and we were told well a big group just ordered before us (they were right next to us and already had their food). As far as drinks we ordered some items that left us with “the last glass” from an open and only cold bottle and an ice-tea which was actually a green tea. It was perplexing. The food was definitely delicious and overall the staff was nice and managing. There seemed to be only a handful on staff but it was more the process of placing an order and not being clear about the menu that was somewhat of an issue. Understanding that the service industry has been significantly impacted due to COVID issues and sounds like housing issues for staff we understand there can be some issues but again it wasn’t so much the staff or food there was just some things they didn’t jive with the process from ordering to getting items.

    Granlibakken Tahoe - Cedar House PubResponded on July 6, 2022Thanks for taking the time to give insights into areas where we can do better Brian. Saturday was in fact our first evening for the season. I personally overheard our Chef reading off the out of stock list for the evening, and I was distressed. Supplier issues and the group caused us to take our attention off of restaurant requirements - apologies. As for the "iced tea"... all that I can say is "sorry" and that we will retrain staff. We hope that you will be back, and notice improvements.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our Father's Day dinner! Our reservation was at 5:00 pm. My husband had the Father's Day steak special and I had the Salmon fillet sandwich. Both were delicious! Our server was very attentive and helpful. Granlibakken is a beautiful place and we look forward to returning to the Cedar House Pub soon.

    First time we have been to Cedar House Pub. Great ambience. Staff went out of their way to make our visit turn out very well. We will recommend to family & friends. Comfortable setting, excellent fish n chips. It was snowing and cold outside and a roaring log fire (real wooden logs, no fake logs) was most welcoming. Can’t say enough about the staff and service. We will be back!!!

    Friendly and attentive service. I had the Fish & Chips and it was excellent. The quality of the fish was high and not too much batter which I prefer which means the focus is really on the cod and not the dough. It is a nice drive to get up to the Cedar House Pub from town and there is a definite relaxing feel. I recommend.

    My daughter was served her food first at after 10 min I asked the waiter if my food was coming. She went to check in the kitchen and came back to say that children are usually served first. 30 min later, my daughter now done eating, I asked again where my food was and she went to the kitchen again and came back to say it was just being out in the oven, at that point we had already been there for an hour. After I told her I wanted to cancel it she was very rude and not apologetic at all, she basically just said it was busy and that the kitchen is small and made it seem like I was in the wrong for questioning why it took an hour to even start my food. It was not a good experience at all. I would also add that there was a live singer who had a nice voice but the music was way too loud for such a small room.

    We eat here every time we come to Tahoe. In the summer, the deck is a great place to sit and relax while you eat. In the winter, the fire makes the smallish dining room seem cozy. The staff is wonderful and you can still get a glass of house wine for $8! The menu has some variations- it’s not huge but it has enough. The prices are fair. It’s an easy place to have a good meal for a reasonable price.

    Food was good but the menu is not extensive. The ambience was nice but simple. They’ve replaced the old wooden bar chairs with modern ones which takes away from the charm of the log post & beam construction & the enormous wood burning fireplace.

    Unexpected gem. We have been two times in the last month. Love the cozy fire and ambiance. Food yummy and service very good. Having the folk singer on Saturday night made it even more special. The bartender Jeff is sweetheart, checking on everyone and making sure all is good. This place is under the radar and a lot of fun. Felt like we were back having dinner in Switzerland.

    I had high hopes for this restaurant but alas was disappointed. I had the prix fixe NYE meal, as did my 5 other dining companions. IThe choices were not outstanding, sirloin steak, breaded haddock and portabello mushrooms in Yorkshire pudding. The food ingredients were not of high quality in the salad. My entree was good and the dessert was something that should not be served in a Dairy Queen. As for the wine service, we brought our own wine, but the staff did not know how to disgorge a cork on a 13-year-old bottle of wine, the glass stems were bar quality and they did not know how to put together an ice bucket to keep the champagne chilled (next time, less ice and add water).
