   Staff was very unfriendly. I felt very uncomfortable like they didn't want us. Both hostess and our sever. The accustics are poor making it very high pitched noiney background. The food is very good. But plan on being their awhile, service is slow, even for a full service resturant and servers not welcoming.,

   Food was ok at best. Steak was not very tender. Pasta were overcooked. New server with no experiences made it less enjoyable, we will not return. One good thing, to compensate for the bad service, the restaurant credited 50% of the cost of the bottle of wine, which was appreciated.

   The service was way off tonight. Took forever to get out food in, waitress forgot multiple items, never brought us basic like extra water, never asked how our food was, forgot to tell us what they were out of until we were placing the order and ordered the thing they were out of, the hostess was rude/short with us from beginning…

   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!

   I wish that there was some sort of notice that the menu would be limited due to Valentine’s Day. We had a new server who left the menus on the table, our dessert came before our entrée , and dirty dishes were left on our table. Our server came by the table 3 times and left empty-handed, leaving the dirty dishes. Also the large peppers and brussels sprouts only had 4 peppers, it was a bummer. It was our first time going there

   Unfortunately did not have a great experience at River Ranch. Party of 3 for my birthday dinner. Martini was over priced, and came without olives after waiting 20 mins for it and my husbands beer. It wasn’t that busy at the bar. Nachos were good, but my husbands steak was undercooked in the middle and over cooked on the edges. My scallops were undercooked and my son’s hamburger went “missing” so he had to wait for another one to be cooked while we started eating. Overall disappointing. Maybe they were just having an off Saturday evening but we won’t go back

    As always a delightful dinner at River Ranch in a beautiful rustic restaurant with outstanding service. The bison short ribs are delicious as was everything else we ordered. Love coming here.
