    Truly a great experience. I was told that the Smoke Door restaurant was outstanding and nowadays that could mean on that given night they got it right. But to be truthful it was all and more than what I was expecting. Food was on point, service also. We did the ten course taster menu chose not to do the drink paring as we were driving 20 oz of alcohol is too much for me. I really liked the atmosphere for such a high end restaurant the service wasn’t stuffy and the staff were very friendly and explained the courses and answered all of our questions. Will definitely return.

    An experience meal for sure. 10 course tasting menu was outstanding and the drink paring was also excellent. Not inexpensive, but worth the money for a special occasion. Staff was wonderful and very knowledgeable. Will certain return.

    They were great, contacted us ahead of time to check on any food allergies and if we had a special occasion. The food was perfect and unique. I’ve had sushi all over the world. This ranks up there with my top three!

    Smoke Door is by far the best food experience in Tahoe. The food is exquisite and the service is on point. They went above and beyond to make our birthday celebration special.
