Easily one of the best meals I've ever had. The riverside dining is beautiful and serene, especially at sunset. The staff were SO friendly and extremely attentive. The food was absolutely divine. Especially the skordalia spread and the heirloom tomatoes. And the flat iron steak we had was cooked medium rare to PERFECTION with the perfect crusting. Absolutely phenomenal.

First time and it was great. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. We were seated right away and ordered drinks. Everything was delicious from the food to the wide variety of drink options. The specials sounded delicious and we did get one of them…the filet. The dessert options were great too. We will definitely be back again.

The JWB Steakhouse was a great option for us to commemorate our last night in Lake Tahoe, not to mention it was Jimmy Buffett Day. What better place to be?!! We found this to be a very nice steakhouse with nice menu options at various price points. Our food was delicious...Our salads were crisp and fresh....the complimentary bread was amazing & served warm.....Our steaks and lobster tail were cooked perfectly. Additionally, our waiter, Brad, was very knowledge about the menu, preparation methods, and was a great source for wine recommendations. He was caring and attentive. We would highly recommend this restaurant.

The staff was very polite, professional, and friendly. The curried mussels appetizer was a bit too spicy, and the Bacon/Balsamic sauce for the flatbread had too much bacon grease. The chocolate desert was excellent. Although not our favorite meal, overall, Edgewood is stunning in most respects and a real treat. Thanks all.

Wonderful little restaurant with incredible food and fantastic staff. The sea bass is phenomenal and possibly the best sea bass dish I’ve ever had! Enjoyed the patio. Our server was very nice. Definitely recommend for an excellent dinner.

About the restaurant

Four Strangers Walk Into A Bar...

30 years ago, four people working in the hospitality industry met in a bar on Toulouse Street in The French Quarter of New Orleans. Over time they became friends and when the first one moved away he stated, "our paths will cross again." Sure enough, over the next three decades, we worked together and apart in cities across the United States, including New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Telluride, Washington DC and of course The Big Easy. In early 2021 an opportunity presented itself and Toulouse was born.

Using local, sustainable ingredients, we produce food with a hint of New Orleans style, in the type of place where tourists feel at home, locals are at home, and everyone is surrounded by family and friends.

Cute place. Would eat here again. Nothing bad to review. Food was good. Mashed potatoes with Blackened Ahi was blended with too much horseradish but the Ahi was delicious. NY strip was fine, but to be fair it was requested to be cooked to medium so, well, you know. Wine list was rather unimpressive but it appeared that they excel at cocktails. I would have liked more Cajun options.

We visited for live music and Dinner on the Patio on a Thursday. We were seated under cover (Birds) and out of the Sun. The music started at 6 pm. The food was delicious; Chicken Florentine Piccata, Ahi Salad and Salmon with Orzo. $105 for three meals with two glasses of wine. The Tiramisu was shared by all and a very nice way to finish the meal. We did a little gaming in the Bar afterwards and watched NFL preseason. Highly recommended.

The ambiance and weather were perfect. The food was flavorful and came out at a perfect temperature. Had 3 appetizers, entrees and lots of drinks for our party of 9. Server didn’t have help with drinks and ordering so service was slower than expected but we also weren’t in a hurry. Would have been nice to see someone help our waitress so drinks came out faster. Highly recommend this place for dinner.

About the restaurant

Located at 243 S. Sierra St. in a building erected in 1940, specifically for a restaurant, is the home of a unique gathering place. The original address was 243 Granite St. hence the name…Old Granite Street Eatery.

With a menu that reflects a strong desire to provide familiar, comforting dishes having an emphasis on quality ingredients. Combined with constantly rotating craft beer selections, focused wine options and hand crafted cocktails, Old Granite Street Eatery looks to be a casual affordable everyday option for neighbors and community to share in great food and drink. We only reserve 1/3 of our restaurant through OpenTable in order to facilitate walk-in traffic. We also have a large communal table for sit-down service. Please included any children and infants in the total in your party for reservations.

The food was delicious and our server was great. The only small thing was the timing of dessert. Everything else was reasonably timed, but it took a really long time to get dessert out. Overall, it was a very enjoyable meal.
