Classic and innovative contemporary takes on steak and seafood - think porterhouse pork
with cherry chutney or roasted chicken with braised fennel - pervade the lakeside dining
room. In summer you'll probably have more fun doing lunch - or drinks with the signature
zucchini sticks and a piece of hula pie - on the huge lakefront deck.

TAHOE CITY
The north shore's commercial hub, Tahoe City straddles the junction of Hwys 89 and 28,
making it almost inevitable that you'll find yourself breezing through here at least once

renting sports gear. It's also the closest lake town to Squaw Valley. The main drag, N Lake
Blvd, is chockablock with outdoor outfitters, touristy shops and cafes.
