A memorable dining experience awaits you as you enter the Christy Hill Restaurant in the center of Tahoe City. The restaurant sits on the shoreline of Lake Tahoe on an elevated embankment offering diners a panoramic vista. The intimate setting offers guests a view that is only upstaged by the cuisine, wine and service. Spectacular sunsets that can be seen from every table is just one of the many reasons that Christy Hill was voted "Most Romantic Restaurant" and "North Lake Tahoe's Iconic Restaurants with World-Class Views" by the San Francisco Chronicle.

Executive Chef, Luis Vallin, focuses on sustainability and innovation, supporting local merchants and farmers. The thoughtful and playful menu pays homage to the tradition of Christy Hill while continuing to uplift and propel the cuisine and restaurant into exciting new territory.

    Great food and good service. We have been there several times and the food is always great. The owner took time out to talk with us, got to know him and shared some common mountain experiences. The restaurant was full with a large group, so ambience was not like it can be, but still good atmosphere.

    We had a fabulous dinner at our favorite dining spot in the north Lake Tahoe area to celebrate our anniversary. Our server, Carson, was fabulous, as well as the entire staff including the owner, Alex. This definitely is a must go place to dine in Tahoe City

    Always outstanding. We had Tasting Menu for the first time. Every course was excellent, as was the service. Lots of gems on the wine list. Can’t wait to go back.
