   We come here regularly. We request a window table and Jordan as our server, and we are obliged every time. The food has been getting even better, and Jordan is the best server in the Tahoe Basin. Very pleased with our experience.

   Thanksgiving dinner $42a plate. Ran out of most of the side dishes. we were presented 4 plates with turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, and some apple thing as a substitute for lack of cranberries. green bean casserole was absent. Turkey was Luke warm, dry and only one person got white meat. my wife got 3 dried up pieces of dark meat and a big pile of skin underneath to make it look bigger. We had made our reservation in October, and dined at 7:00. Thanksgiving dinner is what you were serving, but it did not seem as though you had prepared enough. We had a salad and a couple of glasses of wine, when the bill came it was $233. The server was trying his best with the lack of food, and working on Thanksgiving, so with tip this meal cost $260. We felt insulted and ripped off on departure. We have been to Big Water Grille on several occasions, including other Thanksgivings, but this was our last. Sad effort.

   We were very happy to find our neighborhood restaurant open on Thanksgiving Day. The martinis were excellent. We chose the Turkey dinner which was delicious and plentiful. Chris was an exceptional waiter and very attentive.

   The wait staff was wonderful. We had a Pumpkin cheesecake with pecan fudge underneath. It was the most delicious dessert we had ever had anywhere.

   The food is among the best you’ll find on the lake, but the service falls short. The ambience is good but honestly depends on your seat. Some of the views of the lake are iconic. Considering the price, restaurants like Lone Eagle or Soule Domain offer a much better service experience and competing food quality.

    Excellent server, curly hair and a mustache, absolutely on the ball! The chef is excellent too, I had the pork chop with mango chutney, melted in my mouth, such a tender piece of meat, wow! My husband had the filet and said the same thing,. Our experience was the best, thank you and keep up the great experience.
