   Food is very good, but pricey. $47 for a large bowl of very good cioppino is a bit excessive. But I guess good food in a fairly remote location comes with a price . I'd rather have good food close by at a higher price than drive a distance for cheaper, mediocre fare.

   The Lodge has a lovely setting and excellent service. The food was not outstanding, but better than most in Truckee.

   The Lodge is a great restaurant for either a casual meal in the lively pub area where you can watch live sports and drink fun cocktails. It is also a great restaurant for a more formal dinner served either in the dining room or out on the deck with beautiful views. The food has never disappointed and there are a variety of options to satisfy all tastes including vegan and vegetarian. The staff is attentive and friendly and the prices are a great value. Highly recommend.

   Olga, our server, is exceptional. Had the steelhead salmon last month and it was excellent. But this time the filet tasted old and fishy unfortunately. However recommend the mushroom appetizers. And they make the best French fries around!

   The menu is small but the selection has always been good. The wait staff are always great-Marissa, especially. We eat here several times a year and as a bonus there is no corkage fee for wine on Wednesday.

   we really enjoyed our meal at The Lodge, slightly pricey but quite good, all food was prepared as expected, was modernly noisy but very easy to talk without shouting as with many restaurants these days. Service was excellent. quite accommodating.

   New chef and menu are fantastic! Best pork chops we’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked, and paired well with apple gastrique for a touch of sweetness, herbed potatoes and roast carrots. Venison chop with cherry sauce. Tomato bisque soup with bacon and basil oil drizzle was delicious. Short rib stroganoff with mushrooms, over flat noodles, was hearty, rich and perfect for the winter menu. We all shared an espresso martini and sticky toffee cake with carmel sauce and maple ice cream. Espresso martini was very good. Maple ice cream was great, but sticky toffee cake was a bit dry. Suspect cake was not housemate. Otherwise wonderful, prompt and thoughtful service from Marissa. Great experience overall. Our family has visited The Lodge numerous times over the years, since it first opened. We all thought this was by far the best dining experience we’ve ever had there. Keep up the great work!

    Met friends who drove up from Reno. Server was outstanding, good personality, knew the product well and did not over sell. Three of us had the skirt steak. Terrific, cooked as ordered. Rib eye was a bit small but tender and flavorful. Mountain resort pricing was the only bummer, but it is what it is and all had a wonderful evening.

    My partner had the Stroganoff and I had the nightly Fish special. The braised short-rib in the stroganoff was very tender and well seasoned. The Fish dish was excellent, although the fish was slightly over-cooked. We shared the Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake with Bourbon ice cream. The flavor was excellent, especially the ice cream, but I would recommend more of the Carmel Sauce.

    Food and service are consistently great at the Lodge. the ambience is great and there are multiple options - you can eat in the quieter dining area or on the pub side which is livelier with sports TV. We have been eating here for years and the prices continue to up up up.

    We were Meeting dear friends from out of town. Enjoying a great meal w them in a wonderful spot! The table in the main dinning room was perfect. Our server Marisa could not have been nicer or more attentive without coming around too often. One person in our party had to find something simpler than was on the menu & Marisa totally got it & took care of them. The bus staff kept our water filled which we totally needed. The food was yummy as ever, although just a tiny negative is that the Cesar salad dressing seems not quite as good as it was in the summer & fall. Same for the papradelle pasta in the stroganoff. For the $ The pasta was a bit gummy & the sauce a bit goopy, although the flavor was quite good. The 2 people that got the chicken breast entree were very happy yum! We will of course be back.

    We are regulars at The Lodge Restaurant, it is our favorite Truckee restaurant. The service is marvelous, the staff are all so friendly and caring. They are always glad to see us and go out of their way to make us feel welcome. The menu changes seasonally at The Lodge so there is often something new to try. At this meal, my husband had his usual burger and fries, which he loves at The Lodge. Instead of a dinner, I tried two of the winter appetizers, the mushrooms and the roasted Brussels sprouts. Both were delicious, but I thought the Brussels sprouts were some of the best I've ever had. With gojuchang in the sauce, they were mildly spicy, rich, and full of umami flavor. I had the house rose with both dishes and it was the perfect accompaniment to both. The comfortable, cozy, and charming dining room is the perfect place for a winter meal. Dining by the windows overlooking the snow-covered golf course, with the fireplace in the background, it's such a delightful experience.

    We love the Lodge.. The Staff is so friendly.. We always see people we know.. It's like stopping in at Cheers... We took advantage of the Wed Happy Hour discount on Pub Fare.. My husband's hamburger was tasty... My Fish Tacos we ok... I miss the original Fish Taco that was a buritto style.. it had awesome corn/avacado salsa that was superb... The ones I got lacked much pizazz...

    Hostesses, server and bus boys were all great. Food was ok. I ordered a Moscow mule and it tasted like a greyhound with seltzer in it. Fish tacos weee okay but, not having any type of avocado/guac on them is just wrong. Especially for the price.
