Point your compass to these South Lake Tahoe restaurants for cuisine that's served with a side of "OMG, the view is spectacular!" These haute spots are perfect for a scenic lunch or dinner.
Jenna Palacio: Get swanky in the dining room and try not to be too distracted by the panoramic views of Lake Tahoe. Check out the seasonal/wild game entrees, and sip a Mojito at sunset (one of the best in Tahoe).

Jenna Palacio: Summer or winter, this lakefront restaurant rocks! Sit in the cozy dining room or get casual in the bar. Try the calamari strips (omg!) and a Rum Runner (their signature frost adult beverage).
Jenna Palacio: Anything seafood is typically amazing here and so are the specialty cocktails. Surprisingly awesome pizzas, too! Check the website to see if Fish Taco Fridays are happening - they're a blast.
Jenna Palacio: Any meal becomes a special occasion here. I love their Asian-inspired dishes and fantastic wine list. Don't miss the swanky salad bar (sounds funny but soooo worth it!).
Jenna Palacio: Local secret: some of the best views of Lake Tahoe are seen out on the water. All aboard the Tahoe Queen's Sunset Scenic Cruise for dinner, drinks and divine views.
Jenna Palacio: Off the beaten path, with a fantastic southern exposure that's prime for sunset. The view is priceless, but the lunch and dinner menus won't blow your kid's college tuition.
