    Enjoyed our birthday celebration dinner at Wolfdale’s. We have talked about going since it opened 47 years ago, but this was our first time going, but it definitely won’t be our last!

    We've been going to Wolfdale's for the past 20 years. It's a little high-end and never disappoints! Great food, kind, very accommodating customer service & wait staff. Our favorite has always been the smoked trout as an appetizer, and we also loved the dumplings. Highly recommend. Necessary to make reservations because it is so popular.

    Hadn't been to Wolfdale's in a couple of years and the food and service were still great. We opted for outdoor seating (which doesn't provide the views of the lake that a couple of other Tahoe City restaurants have), but it was still pleasant. Being welcomed and thanked by the chef is obviously a nice touch.

    Haven’t been here in a couple years but remember it having a great menu and ambience. I took a chance on the lamb shank prepared Moroccan tagline style. Almost inedible. Probably 90% fat. I did not say anything to the waiter as I did not want to embarrass my date. She had the halibut and it was excellent. Waiter was attentive and gave us plenty of time to enjoy our cocktails. Actually stayed for about 3 hours with no pressure to leave.

    Love this restaurant. One of our absolute favorites and the best of Tahoe. We visit yearly and are never disappointed. Not a steak and potatoes joint - this is elevated cuisine. Asian fusion with sophistication and great flavor. Chef Douglas is a master. Don’t miss it when in the area!
