Best Authentic Restaurants in Carnelian Bay

Phenomenal meal. Amazing service. Truly a great experience.

Christmas buffet was still good at the last seating of the evening. Nice staff. Prime rib was excellent.

Sunnyside is such an iconic Tahoe venue. Always good food and excellent service. A must go if you come through Tahoe City.

We were seated at the bar, and it felt like a private dining experience. Great food, great service, and not once did I feel rushed. There are four places to dine-outside in an “igloo”, inside at tables, at a sofa seating area or at the bar. Since it was Christmas Eve, the only reservation we could get at the last minute was the bar. Good choice! Frankly, any area would be a good choice. 2 of 3 in our party chose the prixe fixe meal with appetizer, main and dessert for $55. I chose the lobster deviled eggs and beet salad. So much food! And so good😋

Duck confit was great and good portion. Foie gras and mushroom special apps were also amazing. They knew it’s our anniversary but didn’t do anything special tho.
