    Holy smokes I had the bacon-maple glazed french toast. Not only was it amazing, but it was enough for two! Can't wait to try this place again the next time I'm in town.

    Seriously the BEST restaurant to go to in Tahoe. Delicious fresh food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Amazing wine list - you won't find any better in the area. VERY popular with locals.

    Wonderful service and dog-friendly outside seating. The banana nut pancakes are delicious, but be warned, each pancake is the size of a dinner plate. I couldn't finish two.
