    Wolfdale is our tradition when we visit Lake Tahoe. We have been going there for the past 25 years! It is always better than the last time we love the food and the cocktails the service the location. It is always always an experience that we look forward to.

    Service and food was outstanding. Next time I will book over the phone and request the dining room. We were seated adjacent to the bar which was active and on the loud side. The Sole was perfectly prepared and delicious. Highly recommended.

    Fantastic dining experience. Beautiful ambiance, excellent service and exceptional delicious dishes. Started with amazing cocktails & lobster tempura appetizer, we were hooked. Beautiful wine list, coupled with perfect rack of lamb and incredibly delicious Meyer lemon ravioli and again perfect seared cod, followed by espresso and a shared mudslide- the perfect dinner and dessert. Definitely our new favorite in the entire Tahoe/Truckee area!

    The food was delicious, both my husband’s Thai stew and my risotto were amazing, and the smoked trout was fabulous! The chocolate cake was the best we ever had, absolutely worth our 2-hour drive to get there!!! The staff was fantastic, very friendly and attentive. Special thanks to Julia, the pastry chef extraordinaire! So sweet, and sooooooo talented!! 🤩
