"It may be because of its location in an otherwise-exclusive gated community, but The Sawyer is one of the best places for high-end, seasonal American cuisine without the usual large Truckee crowds. It’s a great choice year-round, but it’s especially enjoyable in the summer, thanks to a large patio area with fire pits overlooking the woods and mountains beyond. The venue is small but most items can be customized, if, for example, you’d prefer the sriracha honey and house slaw of The Rocketbird sandwich added to your panko-crusted portobello on brioche (which you should). For those willing to drop a few million on a home in the community, you won’t need to book ahead—but those of us outside of the luxe Schaffer’s Mill need a reservation to make it past the neighborhood’s 24-hour gatehouse." - suzie dundas
"The Kimpton Sawyer is home to not one, but two bars: Revival and Punch Bowl Social. Revival’s indoor-outdoor feel — complete with a rooftop balcony overlooking the Golden 1 Center — makes it a popular after-work or date night spot. Expect bites like duck confit steamed buns and a brie-topped flatbread, plus live DJs multiple nights a week. Bringing a larger group? Head through the hotel lobby to Punch Bowl Social, a bowling alley bar with plenty of shareable options (think dirty fries, platters piled high with po’ boys, and large-format punches that serve four to eight people). Besides bowling, there are also pool tables, darts, and plenty of board games to keep you entertained. Don’t miss the MargaritaCon specialty cocktails, which include the Marg My Words (Astral Tequila Añejo, orange, lime, Cointreau, agave, and salt) and the Mas Pour Favor (Astral Tequila Reposado, blood orange, Tajín, lime, triple sec, and agave)." - Annalise Mantz
