Crystal Bay Steak and Lobster House — Restaurant in Incline Village-Crystal Bay

BEST STEAK I’VE EVER HAD ‼️ Also, the friendliest, most joyful people work here. Jack and Bri will serve you not only food, but impressive ideas of what to try on their menu, options that will blow your mind, and laughter! Lots of joy and laughter. I first tried this place a couple of months ago, more by accident than planned, and I left shocked. Ribeye is my favorite food and favorite meat- I was blown away by the way they cooked it. I was so impressed, I asked the chef’s name, Josh. Josh can make a steak like no other experience you will have. I went back to this place yesterday for my birthday and per usual, it was exceptional. This night, they offered a special type of ribeye that is not normally offered- a Washama Reserve, American Wagu ribeye grade A9 (the scale goes to A10). Meaning, this meat was an opportunity to be stunned! Josh, per usual, cooked it so well and it was again, the best steak I’ve ever had. The Wagu is exceptionally tender and the marble was beautiful. The Cesar salad is also my favorite salad in all of reno/sparks/tahoe, so I ordered my normal Cesar. Jack, the best waiter I’ve ever met, suggested we try the brussel sprouts appetizer, so we did, and there are really no words to describe how great that dish is. They cooked the Brussels with a semi-spicy, hot honey glaze and they will blow your mind (not spicy to me, just enough for a slight kick). EXCEPTIONAL. They tasted like dessert, but weren’t even sweet!! While you are waiting for food, they serve you with some sourdough bread and whipped butter, alongside a vinegar/cilantro oil for dipping the bread and that is also a stunner. The atmosphere is nice, a bit nicer than casual dining, very quiet, and dim lighting (not super bright and annoying). We had dessert last time and it is also great, but we turned it down last night because we were soo full. Jack surprised me with a candle dessert, anyways. They are this thoughtful. Bri is the best waitress and she was able to make me a homemade lemonade, which tasted fresh and much better than any “normal” lemonade. Please go visit Bri, Jack and Josh! This is a food experience that will change your life and give you reasons to take a day trip...

Cozy and intimate the Crystal Bay Steak & Lobster House restaurant sets the evening for an elegant fine dining experience. Service from start to finish is outstanding, knowledgeable and attentive with making sure to include the extra touches for those special celebrations. Be sure to make a reservation as seating/capacity is limited and tends to fill up on their busier nights or holidays.

We have frequented here over the years for special celebrations, holidays and while attending shows in the Crown Room ~ whether with my hubby, friends or our family, we have had the same elegant fine dining experience every time.

Our most recent visit was for Easter Sunday and then the following weekend for my birthday! For Easter I had THE most exquiste Special Menu: Duck Breast, mashed potatoes and fresh green beans that was absolutely TO DIE FOR!! the duck breast melted in my mouth and cooked to PERFECTION! My hubby went with the traditional Sunday Night Special of Prime Rib Kings Cut that NEVER disappoints comes with a cesear salad along with your choice of red or white glass of wine. Savory & deBOMB!! For my birthday we returned with my heart set on the Gnocchi with Lump Crab - these were lil pillowly delights with the perfect amount of sauce and crab yummmyyy!! Finishing off with my fave dessert Creme Brule with strawberry puree & fresh whipped cream absolutely divine!!

Look forward to when the current climate of everything changes for tableside cesear salad and banana foster comes back but until then we will enjoy all the delightful, excellent dishes and service CBC Steak & Lobster House...

We were very disappointed with our dinner experience at CBSL. The food was not hot, they got my order of an 11 Oz salmon wrong, and my wife's order of how she wanted her stripsteak cooked. Then it took 20+ minutes for someone to notice us to get her order fixed, and it wasn't them who noticed even though several employees saw the steak sitting at edge of table. My wife had go flag down someone. We realized they had given me a 6 Oz salmon instead of the one (11 Oz) I ordered. The waitress offered to comp.us for the salmon, and then offered to comp us for a dessert which when we got the bill, was $5 off the $14 cheesecake, which isn't a comp and we wouldn't have ordered it. Very disappointing visit on our anniversary weekend, and we won't be back. In our home town we could have gone to Kobe's, a great restaurant, for much less, fir a much better and much hotter meal. Thanks for helping us realize what a great place we have at home and that we shouldn't drive all the way to Tahoe. To leave a positive note, we enjoyed roulette...
