Cedar House Pub — Restaurant in Tahoe City

Everything about this place reminds me of a European ski chalet - the big open fire place, cozy red leather booth seats, lots of wood detail and touches like a plethora of coat hooks at the entrance for your ski wear.

The ambiance here is spot on - customer service is at its highest (Carlos, Lucas & Sophia - I'm looking at you!), and the vibes here are immaculate. Upon ordering, we were treated to a tasting of the different wine options to make sure we enjoyed what we ordered. Straight into apps - the French onion soup is not to be missed - rich in flavor with a perfect cheese crust on it. Chefs kiss to that. Also, to pop back to wine - good lord, the prices for bottles here are exceptional (most expensive was $60 or so)

The dinner was delectable - I enjoyed the trout with the curry sauce and rock shrimp & my partner had the brick chicken and enjoyed every last bite.

So the restaurant officially closes at 9 but we were invited by the staff to order an additional bottle of wine and enjoy the fire until we felt we wanted to head back to our unit - such exceptional customer service.

Additionally, there's a piano in the space that folks are invited to play - we were privileged to enjoy an 8 year old patron playing some exceptional music as well as staff coming in late to play a bit of a diddy - such a lovely time

A hidden gem of Tahoe City and I'd highly recommend...

Cute venue tucked within a lodge, this pub threw us off a bit by only offering outdoor seating. Still, our servers accommodated our party w extra heat lamps since some of us weren’t dressed to eat entirely Al fresco. Nevertheless our party decided to tough it out and proceeded w ordering our dinner. For drinks we got a few martinis that were all prepared expertly. A little surprising given the pop up vibe the entire place gives. Then we proceeded w the grilled cactus appetizer. It was a little hard to comprehend the description even after asking our waitress, turns it comes as a 3 piece unit or like a poke bowl. We had it poke bowl style and was VERY delicious. Then our food came, which was a build-your-salad, steak plate, steak sandwich, and lobster roll. Our waitress was excellent by repeating our order to us, which was brilliant since we had ordered a rather complex salad. Everything came together, presented beautifully, cooked wonderfully. The only pause was that our steak was more medium well then medium. Not too much of a big deal since it was getting a bit darker and grilling outside gets tougher w less light. Aside from that, our meal was excellent. Def a place worth many...

I wanted to give a huge shout out to Lukas who was our waiter on Saturday, August 2nd. We were a part of a wedding celebration and took up about 3 tables. Lukas appeared to be the only waiter and bartender that day and he killed it. He handled, what I would call a very stressful work environment, with poise and grace. I have a feeling since there was a different wedding taking place that day, staff was stretched thin, but Lukas was able to hold his own. Thank you, Lukas for the excellent service.

Now on to the food, I ordered the burger and it was amazing. Everyone at my table seemed to enjoy their food. I would...
