Bistro at The Corner

very slow staff we have been sitting for 15-20 minutes already me wife and son one employee did not come up to me does not ask to offer you anything or not. The girl who walks so slowly does not even look maybe we need something maybe we want to eat but very hungry and I feel that I will have to sit here for an hour the second waffle after eating

Amazing gem in South Lake Tahoe. cocktails were amazing, unique and flavorful. started off with the Lobster Mac and cheese and was incredible. Caviar options were also on point. We had the elk, salmon, Lobster burger and more. Chef Jimmy really blew it out of the water. so impressed. manager Jason also stopped by and we assured him everything was perfect. A great birthday celebration with tiramisu and strawberry shortcake. Great spot for a special occasion, or even just a memorable date night. Thank you for the amazing dinner!!

Overall, our dinner was good. The food is overpriced for the quality. You'd expect this in a touristy place like SL Tahoe, though. So, no complaints here. Not so many vegetarian options. We asked for mushroom ravioli without bacon, but they still added that

Fine dining at the Y🤙🏻 we had the Norwegian salmon and the chicken breast was fab. Arancini were delicious and the shishito peppers were tasty. Also fresh baked ciabatta table bread from Sugar Pine Bakery was a bonus👍🏻 definitely worth a visit.

This newer restaurant in South Lake did not disappoint! Jonathan, our waiter took great care of us during our meal. Their bread is delicious, fresh and real! Non of that cardboard junk we all hate. Jonathan gave us the list of specials, I chose the crudo. It was scallops with three types of melons accompanied with fennel and lemon. So delicious. My main course looked and tasted amazing! I went with the stuffed portobello mushroom. This is my new go to restaurant here in SLT.

We did Fathers Day brunch at Bistro at the Corner. The atmosphere, waitstaff and food were fantastic. We had the chicken & waffles and steak & eggs. Its nice to have a new fine dining restaurant in Tahoe!

Went here for an anniversary dinner and was not impressed. Our waiter repeatedly forgot to bring us our bread even though the entire restaurant was pretty much empty. The salmon was very fishy tasting/not good quality and not worth the high price. The cocktails were good but those are from the bar next door so you don’t need to go to the Bistro to get those. For a $200 dinner I recommend going elsewhere.

Note! They are open for brunch and Google has the address wrong. It's in the shopping center across the street from Smart and Final. Our experience was****Outstanding!****Our server, David, was on another level...amazing! The chef's crafted fantastivally delicious food. Not a complaint amongst us.... great Bloody Mary's. We can't wait to come back!

I had a wonderful experience this evening. It is New Year's eve, and I knew they would be reserved all night. Regardless, I called ahead and asked if they could take a 1 top walk-in. They were able to grab a table for me. Due to them being reserved all night, I got a table at the Cocktail Corner. I originally ordered at the bar (as was communicated to me due to the full reservations). Though regardless, Jenna (a bartender), still gave me table service throughout my experience. The oysters were divine, and Jenna even ran next door to their sister restaurant to grab me some crackers for my oysters. The asparagus mushroom ravioli was so unique and delicious (I highly recommend). Lastly, I finished with the Citrus Olive Oil Strawberry Shortcake and was not disappointed. I would highly recommend this establishment, and I will definitely be back.

Terrible waste of time. A few other brunch places quoted us 45 min wait so we popped in here since they didn't have a wait and what a mistake it was. We put in our order for brunch. And 45 min later the bartender let us know "something was lost in translation" with our order. Aka he didn't put in our order but it would be right out. Took over an hr for food. The potatoes were blackened-- over fried and super greasy--inedible. Bacon over fried. English muffin tasted like it was dipped in grease. Lobster Benedict was ok tasting but didn't have much meat in it for $28. I would recommend waiting for the better reviewed brunch places rather than come here.

We had a lovely Mother's Day brunch here. The service was mixed. The restaurant was not set up for brunch drinks such a coffee and hot teas but had good alcohol selections. I found the food to be prepared well and was very flavorful. The chicken and waffles were delicious. The French toast was soft and good. The ambiance was modern and upscale but the restaurant is casual. I would return to try another meal.

Fun lil food and cocktail expansion by AleWorX, glad to see a new fun food/drink spot at the Y! Got the chicken and waffles and the benedict: Benny was well executed; egg appropriately poached, firm ham, and a heaping serving of tasty potatoes on the side. The c&w had an unexpected but still tasty composition for me - waffle with whipped cream, strawberry, and syrup, topped with two fried chicken patties; I was more accustomed to a more neutral savory waffle pairing and asked for some hot sauce on the side to swing the flavor profile a bit. Def a Tahoe 5 star (equiv of a Bay Area 4-star once adjusted for ratings inflation) :)

This is a nice little place to have an intimate dinner. Next door there is a loud bar with live music- but we were wanting something more quiet. You can hear the music next door; We did not mind. We both had the filet-was delicious! Asparagus was good! Their mixed drinks were perfection. Service was very pleasant. We didn't have any special accommodations or requests abut I feel they would have accommodated. Filet Mignon

This place is a real gem! We ordered chicken and waffle and the burger was delicious. But then my husband and I had a random thought and asked the chef if he wouldn't mind cooking the kokanee salmon that we caught at the lake an hour ago and he agreed! Only a place this special would take time out to do something so incredible. Chef Shawn made the salmon two ways (with a romanesco sauce and pancetta and a cream sauce with dill) he made it super fancy and we ate it all! Thank you Chef and team for making our 18th anniversary trip and lunch so spectacular!

The food is good. But the bartender sucks! He's a rude Jack ass! I'd rather go to verde.

Lake Tahoe cousins invited us here for brunch. Despite being clearly under-staffed, service staff graciously answered all our questions promptly which made a good first impression Has average prices A lot of effort is made to make and keep the place elegant, clean and organized Meat was slightly over-cooked, rest of food adequate Did it for price they quoted us Did it within the time they said they would No automatic gratuity was added to bill No one here offered to commit fraud to reward us, pay us or compensate us for posting 5 star reviews of this business The place was very loud at times because there were people there who were clearly drunk -increasingly boisterous, then raucous, then obnoxious loud. This cavalier business took no steps to address this cacophony. I reasonably don't consider that acceptable for a self-advertised "upscale" restaurant. All that interfered with my enjoyment and safety. That's what lost them a review star. California law sets penalties for cases where person's drunkenness (1) prevents them from exercising care for their safety or the safety of others, or (2) causes them to obstruct sidewalks, roads or other "public ways." A restaurant can lose their alcohol license for over-serving customers and for disorderly conduct of their customers. And be sued if a drunk customer gets into trouble afterwards; like driving drunk away from the business and causing an accident. https://www.abc.ca.gov/education/merchant-education/on-sale-licensee-informational-guide/intoxicated-persons-and-disorderly-premises/ When a business fails to take reasonable steps to stop serving a drunk person or stop disorderly conduct file a complaint at https://www.abc.ca.gov/contact/file-complaint/. Owners of this business like their Freedom so they have a Military and Veterans Discount as a thank you to Veterans with a publicly disclosed daily Veteran Discount which provides resource to ensure Veterans (rare 7% of the population) and GIs (rare one-half of one percent of the population) opportunity to participate in American Dream Veterans and GIs' sacrifices have made possible for 100% of the population. That earned them a third review star. Then they lost a review star for having my photograph here removed. February is Black History Month 8 November 1965, senior E-7 NCO (Non-Commissioned Officer) Specialist Sixth Class (rank at time of action, now known as Sergeant 1st Class) Lawrence Joel, of US Army's 173rd Airborne Brigade, was Serving in Viet Nam. That day Sp6c. Joel earned Purple Heart, Silver Star, military's third-highest award, and Medal of Honor, military's highest award. He was the first medic to receive Medal of Honor during Viet Nam war and first living black American to receive it since Spanish-American War in 1898. "For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at risk of his life above and beyond Call of Duty. Sp6c. Joel demonstrated indomitable courage, determination and professional skill when numerically superior and well-concealed Viet Cong launched vicious attack which wounded or killed nearly every man in lead squad of the company. While moving from man to man, he was struck in the right leg by machine-gun fire. Although painfully wounded his desire to aid his fellow soldiers transcended all personal feeling. He bandaged his own wound and self-administered morphine to deaden the pain enabling him to continue his dangerous undertaking. Through this period of time, he constantly shouted words of encouragement to all around him. Then, completely ignoring the warnings of others and his pain, he continued his search for wounded, exposing himself to hostile fire; and, as the bullets dug up the dirt around him, he held plasma bottles high while kneeling completely engrossed in his lifesaving mission. Then, after being struck a second time and with a bullet lodged in his thigh, he dragged himself over the battlefield and succeeded in treating 13 more men before his medical supplies ran out. Displaying resourcefulness, he saved the life of one man by placing a plastic bag over a severe chest wound to congeal the blood. Throughout the 24-hour battle, Sp6c. Joel never lost sight of his mission as a medical aidman and continued to comfort and treat the wounded until his own evacuation was ordered. His meticulous attention to Duty saved a large number of lives and his unselfish, daring example under most adverse conditions was an inspiration to all. Sp6c. Joel's profound concern for his fellow Soldiers, at the risk of his life above and beyond the Call of Duty, are in the highest traditions of the US Army and reflect great credit upon himself and the Armed Forces of his country." Lawrence Joel retired after 27 years of military Service in 1973. 4 February 1984, 56 year-old gentle man Joel died of complications from military Service-connected Agent Orange-related diabetes. (Not all who lost their life in Viet Nam died there) He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

How does this place not have a Michelin star or James Beard Award. The food screams flavor and perfect execution. I was fighting the urge to lick my plate throughout my dining experience. This is the essential food memory you would want to have during your dwindling moments on Death Row. It's like your happy place before you leave this Earth. My party had the Romesco Salmon, Seared Scallops, Elk Chops, and Filet Mignon....accompanied with a bottle of Sequentis. And Maria, our gracious server, was an Argentine delight, such great hospitality. I'm kind of regretting writing a review because I do not want to give up the secret to his hidden treasure. It's the type of place you want to keep in your back pocket when you want to impress visiting friends, family, or a significant other. Bon Ape tít!

Great place to chill and enjoy good beer. Live music doubles the whole experience. Must try their garlic margherita pizza

All of the dishes we got were excellent, service was outstanding - very attentive & friendly, the drinks or well-made, and the wind was good.

We really love the bacon and strawberry appetizer at Bistro on the Corner. We ordered the steak frites and it was cooked perfect. We didn't eat the French fries because the looked like delicious heart burn . They were sold out of our wine selection but brought a suitable alternative. Cool vibe for what used to be a janky part of Tahoe

First, wait staff are great, friendly, work with you, and pleasant. Second, food is amazing. We started with some shishito peppers which were very nice. For entrees we shared the duck confit and black truffle risotto and the elk chop in cherry gastrique. The duck was very well prepared with a crispy crusty skin and flavorful risotto with shaved radishes and truffle. Yum. The elk chop was a good helping (around 10oz) lean, perfectly seared hot reddish-pink cut with a beautiful black crust atop mashed sweet potato and micro greens. Delicious. Just perfect. Paired with a couple glasses of light, sweet Chianti was an amazing Xmas Eve dinner. We finished with the flourless chocolate cake with vanilla bean ice cream. The cake was a bit hard, but was a good ending and can't fault the flavor. For the meal and experience it was worth the price. Highly recommend.

I really wanted to like this place but it looks like I may have been doubled billed to my credit card for Saturday evening drinks/eats. Kind of threw cold water on our last night visiting.

I had the elk it tasted rancid I've eaten rare elk all my life... almost worse was they told us to order outside at the bar what a shit show...it was my friends birthday and this kinda ruined it.

Food was excellent cooked to perfection loved my Steak. My guest had the Duck she loved it best she has ever had. Service was great very friend waitress that was very attentive to our needs. Ambiance perfect we caught them early just as the opened so there was only one other table. I will definitely be back!

Decided to check this place out. We got the lobster Mac and feta salad and bread which was all delicious, we had dinner reservations the place was pretty empty. The staff was friendly and it was beautiful what they done with the place The lighting was bright for a formal setting And kids were running around. So didn't seem As fancy as we had expected. But overall was good! If your looking for more casual with good food worth a shot

Amazing drinks and food, quite reasonable prices considering the top notch quality and creativity.

Amazing gem in South Lake Tahoe. cocktails were amazing, unique and flavorful. started off with the Lobster Mac and cheese and was incredible. Caviar options were also on point. We had the elk, salmon, Lobster burger and more. Chef Jimmy really blew it out of the water. so impressed. manager Jason also stopped by and we assured him everything was perfect. A great birthday celebration with tiramisu and strawberry shortcake. Great spot for a special occasion, or even just a memorable date night. Thank you for the amazing dinner!!

We were looking for a date night dinner and came across the new-to-town Bistro at the Corner. This is an upscale and contemporary restaurant with outstanding gourmet cuisine, ambiance and service. We enjoyed the innovative menu and started with the burrata cheese salad, a Caesar salad. We also tried the crudo raw fish appetizer. Everything was really good and unique entree options including an elk chop. I definitely recommend trying and it's a great alternative than driving to Stateline for a fancy dinner out.

Loooooved this Brunch oh my lord. My husband got the Classic Benedict, the hollandaise sauce was one the best we tasted in 20 years. Our 3 year old daughter even loved it and spread some on the English muffin. The simplest scrambled eggs were even amazing. And the potatoes! Just so good. This is definitely a new spot for us in Tahoe :) -also waiter was so nice when I asked for Tabasco, I said I love anything spicy, and he came back with like 5 different options lol and I now found addition to my spicy sauce pantry!

Breakfast on our way out of Tahoe. Great weekend, weather was perfect, people were great and allll the food was amazing! This place did not disappoint! Glad we stopped by. Will definitely have to visit on our next trip!

Came here for brunch with a group of friends to celebrate ourselves. Food was great, atmosphere was really fun and the service was exceptional. Thank you to David for the good ti

The Burrata appetizer was absolutely to die for. The vinaigrette on the dish was absolutely perfect and had the most interesting flavor. We also ordered the Saffron Arancini and they were so yummy. For the entrees we ordered the filet mignon and it was cooked perfectly, but we also ordered a New York Strip medium rare and it came out well done and after we sent it back they made us another, but it came out well done again. Overall we were disappointed with the New York Strip, but we were extremely impressed with the appetizers-stars of the show! The staff was also accommodating and kind.

We did Fathers Day brunch at Bistro at the Corner. The atmosphere, waitstaff and food were fantastic. We had the chicken & waffles and steak & eggs. Its nice to have a new fine dining restaurant in Tahoe!

Excellent food and great friendly staff. The entrance is from the cocktail bar which is a little confusing. Pricey but large portions and good ambiance.

Despite being understaffed, our server managed to hold it together and deliver a competent service. The food and drink were fine. However during the dinner, the two large parties decided that screaming, laughing, and shouting was OK for a fine dining celebration and no one else in the room mattered. We asked our server to summon a manager to get them under control. No manager ever appeared. Someone spoke to the drunk, loudmouths by the kitchen. After that, they actually became abusive of the staff, sang a round of happy birthday at the top of their lungs, then when leaving "accidentally" shoved me and grabbed a fellow diner by the shoulder to say "so sorry." Here's the thing, a seasoned manager should know that people who behave like that are not his customers. They are one and done. We live less than 5 miles away and entertain out of town guests at local fine dining restaurants pretty often. Suffice to say, we won't be back. And we'll strongly consider avoiding any other Luca Genasci restaurants where the staff permit behavior that destroys everyone else's experience.

Maybe it was an off night, but I don't think I have ever left a bad review at any restaurant we have dined at. Our waitress was nice, but did not know the menu well enough to answer questions we had about a couple of the entrees. I ordered the scallops with polenta. It was terrible. The polenta was bland and runny and the scallops tasted old. I am happy to see that so many people have had better experiences dining here. I don't think we will be back.

We had reservation for Sunday brunch. We had 4 adults and 2 children. The children had eaten before we arrived. They were not hungry. 3 of us had the same thing. Only 2 arrived at the same time. We waited over 10 minutes for the third one to arrive. The 4 th order was eggs benny. The sauce was curdled and did not look appetizing. It tasted ok. The potatoes were not warm. I don't know if the kitchen was overwhelmed or short staff. It was not as we expected.

We ended up going here as our reservations was canceled at another place due to the power outage. This place is not only great because of the food. They also have a generator so if the power does end up going out, they can still provide service. The food was excellent, we got the Shishido peppers, beet salad, steaks, and they had churro with cinnamon ice cream for dessert. The service was excellent and the atmosphere is beautiful, even though it's small and you wouldn't expect it. Highly recommend this place!!

Great well presented food and top rate service. Atmosphere was stylish and comfortable.

If I can give this place 6 stars, I would !! Absolutely top notch service. ( our server was Brian) ). The food was perfect and our steaks were perfectly cooked. ( Not like Fridays Station at the top of Harrahs, which both steaks came out wrong ) We were able to substitute for my niece who is gluten free and dairy free without any problem. Food came out in a timely manner and drinks were delicious !! Try the thin mint drink !! We have been coming to Tahoe for the 4th of July for 25 years and this has been the best dinning experience yet !! Thank you !!

Nice place with good service. I had the duck ala orange. It was good, but a little chewy. All in all a great place.

The fried chicken sandwich is awesome. The servers are really nice. And the shared outdoor space creates a great vibe on a nice day. We always get the chicken sandwich so I can't tell you about much else. But that chicken sandwich....!!!!!!

Absolutely amazing from start to finish with wine pairings. The crudo was fresh and fantastic with the spicy oil finish. The special was rainbow trout, reminding us of summer fishing in the local rivers. It had a crunch of cucumber and hints of sea salt. Paired with a rose that complimented it and a Pinot noir that contrasted. The flavors exploded on my palette. We finished the meal with a flourless chocolate tort and the most amazing lemon meringue desserts Perfectly complimented with the dessert wine. Highly recommend you try it You will not be disappointed.

I loved this place! Nice atmosphere. Good service. Excellent food and cocktails. I had the New York Strip steak and it was cooked med/rare just like I asked for. It was beautifully seasoned and came with mashed potatoes and asparagus. All delicious! My husband had the surf and turf burger. It was huge! Well cooked and yummy. Our cocktails were also fantastic. I will definitely be back next time I am in Tahoe.

This may be my new favorite restaurant at the lake! Brian, our server was excellent, friendly, prompt, and knowledgeable. The pea soup was, hands down the best I have ever had! The beet salad was delicious although the dressing- not so much, not much flavor to it and it did nothing for the salad. My husband enjoyed the lobster Mac and cheese with ample amounts of lobster! The ciabatta made by Sugar Pine Bakery was, oh so good! Welcome to town Bistro at the Corner!!

Went for Mother's Day brunch..quite dissatisfied with the service...food was mediocre...had to send back a couple of things as it wasn't prepared as I had ordered. Server had no clue of the menu or the products??? Servers had no sense of urgency whatsoever...had to constantly ask for water and refills on our bottomless Mimosas...

We had a 16 person wedding party here and it was amazing. The food, drinks, service, and kitchen staff were fantastic!

There are many things that don't work at this "bistro". First, they can't do medium rare. When my elk chops came bloody, I asked them for medium rare. They returned "well done". After returning the dish, a manager came and explained to me that there's something wrong with me because the chops are great. Second, the noise. The restaurant is attached to a bar. There are no doors between the two establishments. Therefore you hear two different music playlists played. If that doesn't give you a headache, here's the third point. The place is way overpriced. Entrees are around $50 (yes, there is a 23 mushroom, too) - which is ok if the ambiente is right, the service is awesome, the food is Devine, etc. Unfortunately, none of this happened at "the bistro at the corner" when we were there. I won't go back.

This place has a great vibe and our server Brian was great. The food was okay nothing to write home about. My significant other got the aged ribeye and it tasted like a normal ribeye. My filet mignon was burned and the mashed potatoes had no flavor. Also the asparagus we got as our side was cold. Overall it wasn't terrible but it wasn't worth the bill. The drinks are STRONG! (If that's how you like them...) Those are a bang for your buck for sure. The dessert was good and overall this place is mid. I don't think I would come again but the mood wasn't ruined.

My husband and I and son eat out "a lot". This was the absolute best meal we have EVER had. Oysters, caviar, filet,crab, lemon meringue. The food was so good I didn't have time for my amazing lemon drop. South Lake Tahoe, this is the premier of fine dining. Better than Sage room. Better than Fridays station. Better thAn Vegas. I'm not kidding folks, save up this is the best dining in Tahoe.

Five stars! Especially our server David. He managed multiple tables on his own and got our food out in a timely manner

Food and drinks were delicious and came very quickly, servers and hostesses were so nice and helpful. We had a big party and they were awesome, service and staff were wonderful (especially our server DAVID he was awesome!)

We are long term fans of aleworx and cocktail and corner and so excited to have tried the new upscale Bistro. Our server Brian was great, and the quality of food was amazing. We got the duck and stuffed Portabello for our main dishes, both cooked to perfection. I highly recommend the saffron risotto balls, I had never had something like those before - they were delicious. Great interior design, layout and food presentation. Love the open kitchen. The fresh ciabatta bread from our local Sugar Pine bakery was a nice touch. We'll be back!
