    My boyfriend and I dined at River Ranch Lodge in Tahoe City on 2/15/2025, and we had such a great experience! Our waitress, Banga, was incredibly sweet and kind. She took the time to help me navigate the menu and made thoughtful suggestions, even though I'm quite selective with my choices. I ordered the Chophouse Cheeseburger, and my boyfriend had the Pulled Pork Sandwich--both were absolutely delicious, with excellent quality and generous portions. We were both very satisfied with our meal and highly recommend this restaurant. We'll definitely be returning whenever we're in the area!

    Our dinner experience from checkin to dessert was fantastic. Greeted with smiles and acknowledging the birthday celebration, being seated near the window with a gorgeous view started off the relaxing evening. We started with ahi crudo, bread and lovey kir royale and Negroni. Our entrees were flavorful and the right temperature when delivered. Skirt steak, sea bass and truffle ravioli…just delightful. 27th. Desserts of afergato, bread pudding and French press ended the meal. Fantastic service and attn to detail.

    We had the Filet Mignon, which was really outstanding. Nicely paired with some great wines and delicious vegetables we had a fantastic dinner. It is pricey, but would not hesitate to go here again. If it was my restaurant I would stay away from serving garlic butter is such a cheap plastic bowl, that you find at all fast food restaurant chains too.
