I live locally an have been here many times. The food is always great and they recently updated their menu to a more summer theme. The prices are a bit less expensive than several of the go-tos in Truckee, and the food quality better. Their salmon is awesome and their burger one of the best around! Happy Hour really is the best time to go - otherwise grab an open table reservation!

The filet mignon was ordered rare to medium rare and was medium. The salmon portion was small and lacked flavor. My last experience there was with the filet mignon and it was delicious. That's why I went back.

The Sawyer accommodated our last minute reservation change adding an additional guest. Drinks appetizers mains and dessert were spot on. Our server was not feeling well but toughed out her shift and provided excellent service. This is a nice restaurant in a casual setting and a welcome change to the usual spots in downtown Truckee. We will be back.

Food is always consistent. However the wedge salad was not up to par. Maybe a new chef? There was like blue cheese and virtually no bacon. It used to the best wedge salad in town. Disappointed.

Beautiful lodge setting (wood beams, oversize windows) overlooking the forest. Large outdoor seating for when weather is warm. The food was delicious and some of the menu offerings were unusual which was fun. Great cocktails too. Our waitress was very knowledgable and went beyond.

Great location- Had our choice of tables. Nice menu selection of appetizers- sad to hear the brussel sprouts are being taken off the menu. Hummus Board was great. Pork tenderloin was very tender and moist. The Ahi tune was cooked to perfection. Apple cobble for dessert was our only disappointment.

Always a good time, but they are in the process of updating the menu. Staff is amazing. Food is good, but when you factor in quality/cost, it's not great. Very expensive for what it is. They need to decide - fine dining vs. pub food. Wine list is confusing. The atmosphere is great and when you can sit outdoors in the summer, it's amazing. Do yourself a favor and order the burger or a pizza and call it a day. Would love to see improvement.

The food was outstanding and the service superb. We went for Easter dinner and all had different dishes, every single one was delicious. We were greeted in their friendly manner and promptly seated.

We had a great dinner at The Sawyer during a ski weekend. Started with a shishito peppers, sriracha honey chicken wings, and brussels sprouts, enjoyed some stroganoffs and a rocket bird, and finished with a butter cake and cookie skillet. Our favorites were the wings, stroganoff, and cookie skillet! Ambiance was mellow, with views onto the golf course. Our server was fantastic. Will definitely return on a future trip.
