Sage Leaf Tahoe

First time travelers to Lake Tahoe, and my husband and I are vegan! This place had a delicious Vegan Breakfast Hash that was perfection! It had plant-based chorizo, chickpeas, red onion, mushrooms, spinach, home fries, chipotle-tahini sauce, avocado chimichurri and it was AMAZING! We even added a bowl of the butternut squash soup to share. Highly recommend!!!! The ambiance and service was so great!

We got pork belly as a starter and the vegan sauté with grilled shrimps and The Burger with duck fat truffle aioli fries. The pork belly was absolutely amazing and the rest of the dishes were delicious as well. It was the best restaurant we tried in this area for sure.

Sage Leaf isn’t just a breakfast spot. It’s a sermon. A sermon served with vodka, tomato juice, and bacon so transcendent it deserves its own religion. I’ve gnawed on A5 Wagyu in Miami, Barcelona, and Venice, but never — never — has a cube of pork belly dissolved on my tongue like this. It wasn’t bacon; it was divine intervention. I considered ordering a second Bloody Mary just to get another piece, because if these guys franchised bacon, McDonald’s would file for bankruptcy by Tuesday. The drink itself wasn’t a drink at all. It was a still life. Something you’d hang on the wall of a museum, only to lick it when the guards weren’t looking. And then the “mountain breakfast.” Eggs, toast, potatoes. Simple. Honest. Yet it felt like Sage Leaf invented the concept. As if every egg I’ve ever eaten before was just practice for this one. The potatoes had the quiet confidence of a dish that knows it’s better than you. Even the vegan hash didn’t feel like culinary punishment — which is saying something, because usually vegan hash is just regret served on a plate. Our waitress, Geri, was flawless. Attentive but never lurking, knowledgeable without condescension. The kind of server who makes you trust a menu item you didn’t even know existed. The space itself? Cozy, shaded outdoor seating, tucked on a corner in Incline Village — a town where ski bums and billionaires rub elbows at the same coffee counter. The place smells like hard work and old money, and somehow Sage Leaf manages to feel right at home in both worlds. Bottom line: Sage Leaf doesn’t just make food. They remind you what food is supposed to do — make you laugh, sin, and maybe consider moving to Incline Village just so you can claim this as your “local spot.”

We ordered scrambled eggs with mushrooms, a salad, a burger, and a cocktail — everything was very tasty! At the entrance we were greeted by a very pleasant woman, which created a nice first impression. However, our waiter — a dark-haired guy — was very distant and unfriendly. It felt like he either didn’t like customers or simply hated his job. This made the experience quite uncomfortable. Total 4 stars I’m giving 3 stars for service only because of him; otherwise, the food and the welcome at the entrance deserve 5.

Food was pretty good- corn beef hash could use a little more meat. The potatoes mixed with the meat looked the same. Some fat but overall was good and cooked just right. The pastrami sandwich was pretty good. French toast for kids was about average to me. But finally a place that uses real maple syrup. I don’t know how other brunch places call themselves a breakfast a lot and use corn syrup ( just bumfuzes me). The juices must have been good because kids and wife finished too quick for me to try. And then there is a tres leches. We were fool so had to get it to go. It was great! Not our favorite but it’s in the top of the list. Service was excellent with more than one person checking on us and serving dishes. Parking here can be tough! If you are staying nearby try to walk or bike it. Next door they have kayak and bike excursions. Overwlll we can’t wait to come back and try different

Everything was spot on. I ordered the incline scramble eith bacon instead of ham and wow. It was absolutely delicious. We ordered and the food came out like 6 minutes later. Definitely ask for their housemade salsa and hot sauces they were so good. Best breakfast I have had in a while. You should definitely come here if you are visiting tahoe or if you are a local. The waitress was excellent and the atmosphere was wonderful. I had a great experience and I absolutely recommend this place

This restaurant is next to the Korean chicken wing spot. It was not really a wine bar. They have a lot of wines on the menu but there’s no wine flights here. The menu was short and has mainly brunch food. The side dishes such as the candy bacons were chunky and delicious. It was more like fried pork, the duck fat fries were also delicious. The burger was Ok, the corn beef hash was Ok as well, The whole dish was begging for some spices or seasoning. The Bloody Mary was a little water down and bland tasting. The 22% gratuity was not expected. Overall the food was ok. The server was only present on the first half of our brunch. Follow @Only1christinelu

We went to Incline village last week and had lunch in this place. We didn't have a reservation but was able to get a table within 15 mts. Service was good. Clean restaurant. Above all food was tasty. I would go there again. Highly recommend.

This was the best dinner of our entire stay in Tahoe! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious. Our server Nikola was outstanding - he recommended some amazing dishes, and we loved every single one of them. Excellent service and incredible food - we'll definitely be back!

We loved Sage Leaf! An adorable little place to grab good food and a drink! The biscuits and gravy were oh so delicious. The shrimp with andouille sausage was also great. Service was good, no complaints and we throughly enjoyed sitting outside on the patio. We live small businesses, would recommend coming here.

Disappointed after many good visits. I've been to Safe Leaf in Incline multiple times and always enjoyed it, especially when I've come with people I care about. Unfortunately, this last visit was deeply disappointing. My friend and I work in the service industry in the area, and we stopped by after work. We sat at the bar, which was mostly empty--multiple open seats around us. I was next to the menus, my friend on my right, and at least two more empty seats on their right. We ordered duck fries, two shots & two more right before this awful interaction, and I was casually sipping a beer--not even halfway through it--when things took a weird turn. A hostess came over and quietly told my friend that there was a reservation for three people at the bar where we were sitting and we had to move immediately. There was no warning, no sign, and it's supposed to be open seating at the bar. We were completely thrown off and visibly uncomfortable. Everyone was watching us like we were doing something wrong. Even worse--they charged us $85 for rushed service, zero courtesy, and a really uncomfortable experience. Nothing to repair the situation. I've loved this place before, but after this? I won't be coming back

Grrrrreat Sunday Brunch‼ Excellent seating and service at the bar while crowds waited in line for tables I had a corned beef - poached egg hash - but they creatively substituted tender brisket for the corned beef ! Great home-fried potatoes. I was a happy Tahoe camper. Meanwhile the bartender wooed the crowd with exotic mixology drinks! It was really fun!

Lovely lunch with my friend. Arrived on a sat at 1 pm. Snagged the last table on the patio. Perfect weather and chill vibes. Delicious food and great drinks. I wanted to try this place because everytime I went to Starbucks it's always very busy. Really enjoyed our meal!! The only complaint is the parking. There was no parking. I came in the restaurant the waitress said there's a parking garage if you go around the street back of the restaurant.

Fast service, perfect bacon, crispy potatoes. Everyone in my group loved their various entrees. Keep it up staff!

Lamb burger was excellent. Juicy and great flavor. I have also had the pastrami burger which is also very good. I have heard great things about their brunch also. Best burger in Incline in my opinion and decent price for the area.

My sister is visiting and wanted to go up to Tahoe so we thought we'd grab some girlfriends and do brunch. We had eaten at this restaurant several years prior a couple times but hadn't been back since. Good experiences in the past so I suggested we come here. Made reservations via the website for next day unsure if they are needed when we got there there were two other couples eating. My sis and I took the bench seating and my friends had chairs which they noted were not the most comfortable. Javier was a good server greeted us bringing us drinks I had a hot chocolate which was great, of note they don't have oat milk. They also serve only basic drip coffee no lattes. There's a wide range of flavors for mimosas but we chose mango and we all liked them. Their menu looks delicious. Three of us however chose avocado toast, which itself is fairly affordable. It comes with radishes and balsamic and a couple other toppings that I pass on, adding an egg was 3.50 ouch and adding "candied bacon" was 4.50$ eeek, our fourth lady got the French toast. Javier asked me if Olive oil was okay which I appreciated and agreed it was; however upon eating my eggs and toast it was doused in olive oil like way too much and threw the taste off. I still liked my toast and eggs but the eggs and bacon came on the side not on top of toast which I guess I sort of expected and you can always make it that way yourself. I have to say, this was not bacon. This was just porky belly which is not in the least bit appealing to any of us. So that was definitely misleading on the menu and I think it needs to be changed especially for that price. Overall a decent experience and would consider returning when in the area. Of note, This review was in my drafts and is a late post from January 2025.

July 2025: We're locals now and find Sage Leaf to have one of the best and consistently good brunch/breakfasts in town.

After a beautiful bike ride on the Tahoe East Trail we were famished. Lucky for us, Sage Leaf was located right next to Vista Trail Bikes. We were seated at a table on the shaded patio, perfect for the summer weather. Service was very good as the entire waitstaff took care of all our needs. The food was great, brunch and lunch were available as well as a nice cocktail selection. The house made sage and cheddar biscuits were fluffy inside with a nice toasty finish on the outside, served with smoked Gouda gravy. The two covered biscuits were accompanied by two sunny side eggs and two asparagus spears with balsamic glaze. We all thought that the asparagus seemed a bit odd with the dish but ultimately the chef knew what he was doing. Give Sage Leaf a try, it will not disappoint. Check your receipt, as when we got home we realized we were overcharged.

Excellent Cuisine, Great service, Great atmosphere. Ordered off of the appetizer menu and were totally satisfied. Great drinks also, we will be back again and again!

This is one of the best places you can go if you are vegan or just plant-based consumer of some sort because they have clearly marked vegetarian items for you there. Other than that vegetarians are well taken care of. The fried hash with chorizo is probably the best food item I have had in North Lake Tahoe since I've been renting in the area. The bartender was also our food server, and we of course, indulged in some of their craft cocktails. Those are not to be missed if you can afford to have one as they're not cheap. The one disappointment for me was that their storied Bloody Mary could not be made vegetarian. The mixture is premade and It uses Worsteshire sauce which has anchovies in it! Yuck! The venue is easy to miss as you drive by, but there's actually plenty of parking in the free garage just behind them. Be careful cause the uphill walk can be icy. !!

We've been coming to Sage Leaf since it opened. Note that the space is small, but you can sit at the bar and there are some tables in the atrium next to the Korean chicken wings shop. In the warmer months, there are outside tables, too, but they are not dog friendly. Our first experience ever was brunch at the bar. Everything was terrific, from the service to the thick bacon. More recently, just before the holidays, we found the vegan soup that came with the pastrami sandwich was full of stringy leek pieces and didn't taste quite right. The sandwich's ratio of bread to fillings was off, and the coffee wasn't hot. The fries were the hit of the day, but the dipping sauce was much too watered down. So when a friend suggested we meet there for lunch today, I had my reservations. Luckily, things have improved over the last few months. My friend ordered the pastrami sandwich on a gluten-free bun (still way too much bread) but subbed out the potato-leek soup for a side salad instead. I started with the gin pear drink and saw a nearby table had ordered the chicken bowl, so on our server's recommendation, I tried that. Compliments to the chef! This "bowl" has a rice base with spinach, tomato, garbanzo beans, some grilled chicken with great flavor, all topped with avocado mash and some delicious sauces. Definitely count that as a win! They close at 2 p.m., but we never felt rushed despite leaving about 10 minutes before closing. They also serve breakfast/brunch with the lunch menu, so if you're craving eggs, that's an option even in the afternoon.

I've had both a breakfast and dinner here and both were great experiences! My most recent one was breakfast and it was amazing. The service is good and friendly (it wasn't totally quick, but we had a larger group so no worries there). We all sat out on the patio and it was gorgeous out there in the late morning, a great overall vibe. It feels fresh and clean inside and the food gives that vibe as well. The mountain breakfast was delicious - sausage was perfect, the cheesy hash-browns were as good as they sound and the biscuit was homemade and SO good! We ordered a French toast for the table so we could all try and we weren't let down, amazing as well! This is a great, reliable spot (in my opinion, the food in the area is weak, but Sage Leaf has proven to be a solid option). I'll be back!

What a fun spot in a convenient location in North Lake Tahoe. I came here with a fairly large group (8 people) before a nice bike ride, and this place had options that everybody likes, and everybody was very satisfied with their meals. On the patio, they only had tables for 4 people, so they accommodated by having the two tables next to each other. The one upgrade that i would note is they do not have espresso (so no lattes), but they do have drip coffee and iced coffee. Overall this is A very yummy spot for breakfast and lunch

Got the pastrami burger, chicken thigh bowl, and the bolognese for entrees, and got the biscuit and skewers for sides. Everything was so good, and I'd get it all again. The chicken thigh bowl was a healthier item with spinach and quinoa, but still lots of great flavor with guacamole. The bolognese was creamier than the typical bolognese but still very good. The biscuit was so good with honey and butter. The portion sizes were a bit smaller than expected but everything was delicious. Would highly recommend.

This restaurant is next to the Korean chicken wing spot. It was not really a wine bar. They have a lot of wines on the menu but there's no wine flights here. The menu was short and has mainly brunch food. The side dishes such as the candy bacons were chunky and delicious. It was more like fried pork, the duck fat fries were also delicious. The burger was Ok, the corn beef hash was Ok as well, The whole dish was begging for some spices or seasoning. The Bloody Mary was a little water down and bland tasting. The 22% gratuity was not expected. Overall the food was ok. The server was only present on the first half of our brunch.

Beyond happy that we are getting a Sage Leaf in Reno. I love this location so much and love seeing the same staff almost every time. The pasta, fries, mimosas, dessert, okay who am I kidding everything is amazing! I love this location and the amount of indoor and outdoor seating which always reminds me of a fairy garden. The pricing is accurate for the chef curated meals and level of service you receive!

We waited nearly 30 minutes for food even though the restaurant wasn't busy, and our server never mentioned any kind of kitchen delay. Eventually I went to the hostess to explain we had a hungry child and asked if they could bring out anything at all--no luck. When the food finally arrived, it was disappointing. The Brussels sprouts were overwhelmed with acid and had hardly any bacon. The fries were lukewarm on arrival, turning cold within minutes, and they seemed like the scraps from the bottom of the bag--each one barely an inch long. Overall, a frustrating and underwhelming experience.

Sage Leaf was the perfect off property lunch spot that we delighted in as we explored the cute shops and breweries of Incline Village! We lucked out coming here on the sunniest day and enjoyed our meal on their peaceful outdoor patio. The pastrami and cheese sandwich may look simple but it was truly out of this would. No picture can do the cheese pull justice! We ordered the hand-cut duck fat fried steak fries and these were some of the best steak fries we've had. The Old Bay seasoning was chef's kiss and paired perfectly with the truffle aioli. Pro tip is to use their house made hot sauces to make a spicy ketchup! They had a great local beer selection as well and I 10/10 recommend Fifty Fifty Brewing Co. Pilz. The service was fast and efficient. It's no wonder why this spot was recommended to us by so many locals!

I was thinking a lot on whether or not to write this review because it was a very uncomfortable experience. On Aug 24,2025 I came to the establishment and as my partner waited to be seated I visited the trinket store in the plaza when I came back the hostess said they had 2 places for us available but that if I wanted to come in I would have to change my top. I was wearing a tennis skirt set. We hadn't had breakfast yet and it was already 1p so I decided to go to the car and change but the situation was very uncomfortable. The host said it was the owners rules, something in regards to bathing suits not being allowed but I was not wearing a bathing suit. The food was very tasty 10/10 except the French toast-they should use brioche instead of the chewy sourdough- and it came out quickly. The restaurant itself is very cute. The vibe was also very relaxed so if I was wearing a bathing suit I'm not sure why they wouldn't be allowed. I would never come back here.

TL DR: Great brunch/lunch place after hiking in Incline. Food: Nice selection of food items from traditional breakfast, to lunch, to snacks. Vegetarian options and many items are lactose friendly. Opted for the chicken thighs quinoa bowl. It was delicious, that avocado aioli really brought everything together. Accompanying vegetables were super fresh. Service: It was busy, elite tip show up early! We waited about 25 minutes for our table. Ended up being seated at the bar. We were attended to, and had our questions answered. Friendly bartender and staff, service was great! Ambiance: Restaurant was dark but the bar was clean, utensils were also clean. Decor was simple and nice. Complete bar for those that drink. Prices are comparative with other establishments at incline. Most lunch and brunch entrees are ~$20. Comparable to other restaurant in Incline. But more expensive than Reno.

Loved that they offer a vegan dish that's not just a salad. It was delicious. Our drinks were great too. Small but quaint and nice restaurant. Our server even helped to offer recommendations for other places to try in the area.

GOOD RESTAURANT FOR LUNCH IN INCLINE VILLAGE ============================================ My husband and I stopped by for lunch following a six or so mile bike ride nearby in the Tahoe East Shore Trail. They have a good menu. My husband and I both wanted to order their burgers and they were really good. We just asked them to take a few things off. I didn't tell them to take off the bacon, but I did after I received it. It was thick bacon which wasn't my cup of tea. We also did not want an egg on top. We sat on the patio and that was very nice. They have a nice sized parking lot. If you want to rent bikes there is a place right next door.

Dinner service happened to restart the day I stopped by Sage Leaf to pickup lunch for takeout upon arriving, so I knew then that I wanted to return for dinner. Although lunch items are on the pricier side for what you get since it is on the smaller/lighter side, it was absolutely delicious, leaving you wanting more. Fast forward one year minus one day later, almost same time, but same place for house made sage and cheddar biscuits, smoked salmon flatbread, Cajun spiced shrimp linguini, and grilled Niman ranch pork chops. Those sage and cheddar biscuits were absolutely amazing that I was tempted to get another order. The cajun spiced shrimp had a medium kick to it and would've liked the shrimp a little more cooked as it was slightly undercooked. Coincidentally, looks like happy hour may have returned the same day we were there for dinner and adding it to my next visit this coming winter especially for those biscuits and flatbread.

Returned with friends from Roseville & Citrus Heights so they could enjoy one of our favorite restaurants. We started with Melted Snowman Hot Chocolates for all of us. Tahoe Blue French Toast for my husband, the other three of us had Biscuits and gravy with eggs. Corned beef hash dish, and Monte Carlo Sandwich. We all loved our food and appreciated the presentation. Javier was our waiter and he was great. Shane and Lara we love your restaurant. We will Vo Tony to come and introduce new people!

We were seated outside at an awesome table. My husband and I shared a yummy creamy tomato soup then I ordered a Monte Cristo sandwich and he had a lamb burger. There must have been sage in the soup (which I'm highly allergic to) because I got really sick. Should have known because of the name of the restaurant.

Sage Leaf was a bit of a mixed bag for us. The service and wine selection were a highlight but the food wasn't what we expected. To start, we ordered the Cheddar Biscuits. These were pretty basic baked biscuits with butter and seasonal jam. Not much cheddar flavor. Ok but nothing special. For our entrees, one of us got the Dry Aged Flatiron steak. The steak itself was good - flavorful and in a great sauce - but it was barely the listed 6oz size. It came with a large serving of old bay and truffle season fries which were quite good. We also got the Spaghetti Carbonara. The noodles were way too al-dente and the sauce was really lacking flavor. Even after seasoning with salt and pepper it didn't taste like much. I would certainly avoid this dish. Our waitress did remove this from our bill which was appreciated.

Open Tables- Never seated! Absolute awful service, came in to have with our family, arrived for breakfast hostess said it was going to be 20 minute wait unless we wanted to be seated outdoors, (Lake Tahoe is sunny 46degree temperature in June ) so we opted out for indoors. While we waited 30 minutes later we noticed parties of 4, 5 and 6 were being seated indoors and outdoors. We asked several times on the status of being seated granted it's been 45minutes of waiting. We ended up asking for a manger at this point thinking perhaps they can arrange for 2 empty tables to accommodate us. (Party of 6) The bartender said there was no manager duty and walked over to the hostess. After an hour of waiting and watching other family's and parties be seated we left. Extremely disappointed.

The waiter was very nice, great service and the food was amazing! Would definitely come here again next trip to Tahoe.

Decided to try this place while we were in Tahoe for a few days and it was pretty good. The breakfast platter was delicious and came with the option of cheesy potatoes which was a plus! Bacon was nice and crispy. The Huevos rancheros, I was very hesitant about because I know it's not an authentic place for them to be sold but wanted to try it out and I was actually impressed. Coming from someone who can make them from scratch it wasn't to shabby. Id rate it a 3.5/5. The egg was a little too runny for my liking so next time I'll remember to ask them to cook the egg a little longer if we go again. The service was fine, the lady greeted us and took our order. And lastly, the place looked small and intimate but we took our order to go so wasn't sure how the experience is for dine in but it looked clean and set up nice.

Decided to come here for dinner last night. Made reservations for 6:30 (only about an hour earlier) & glad we did, because tables filled up. We love the use of space. We had a nice table outside on a covered patio. Our server got real busy real fast. He seemed frazzled, but he was upbeat & great at the table. Drinks were slow to the table. We got three appetizers. The biscuits were fluffy and so good. Our favorite appetizer. The scallops weren't good or bad. I just don't think all flavors blended the way I would have wanted. The shrimp skewers were fine, but the highlight was the grit cake with sauce. So good. We both had our eyes set on the pastrami burger. The flavor was so good. The burger patty itself had amazing flavor. The fries were perfectly crispy. I wanted to try the tomato soup, I wouldn't recommend, I've just had better. The appetizers came out timely, but it took a while to get our main order in, and following, also took a while to receive our mains after we ordered. I did ask for the soup to come out first, it did not. That's okay, a simple mistake. Not a deal breaker, the vibes stayed good. I wouldn't go if I wanted to be in and out. But the food was great quality and something worth craving. We would definitely recommend.

Ordered brunch togo online for this place because we called in for an order and front desk just put us on hold forever while talking to other people at the restaurant. We got corn beef hash and mushroom scramble. The beef is very salty and the scramble portion is so small for 19 dollar and it tastes weird with the brie on the top.

I would definitely go back and try breakfast. There is a covered patio with heaters. I forgot to add the server was also wine knowledgeable.

So good I went for seconds Ambiance adorable indoor and out door seating beautiful bar Very upscale Tahoe really coming up lately Service top notch great and attentive Food amazing No complaints will be back soon

My daughter took me to Sage Leaf for Father's Day. The service was exceptional, plates and glasses were cleared as soon as we were done with them, the staff was friendly and helpful.... Serving portions are just right, not too big, not too small. I had the not so traditional Huevos Rancheros, my daughter had the Eggs Benedict, and my wife had the Spring Conchiglie Pasta. All of them were very good and fresh.

10/10 great food, service, and mimosas. We sat outdoors and it was peaceful. Would come again! :)

My partner and I stopped by Sage Leaf for brunch before getting a massage. I got a delicious and spicy bloody mary, and my companion ordered an Irish coffee, which he enjoyed. For breakfast, I (enthusiastically) scarfed down the Tahoe Blue French Toast, made with sourdough bread and a lovely Meyer lemon jam? Whatever it was, it was divine. The hostess was super sweet and led us to our seats right away. Our server was super attentive and energetic. I definitely recommend this spot! Super cozy on a stormy winter day.

Absolute terrible service. Refused to sit our party at a table (7:30pm) when 9 tables were empty. Would not recommend to anyone ever. Bad business and took my money elsewhere. Terrible service (plan ahead)

Lovely patio. Clean. Friendly service. A tad on the slow side as far as how long it takes for the food to come out. Cocktails were good. Appetizers were solid. We shared the shrimp skewers and heirloom tomato salad. Entrees were average at best. Pork chop was quite overcooked as was the salmon. The bolognese pasta and the summer conchiglio pasta were on the bland side.

I came here two years ago with my girlfriend and the breakfast was amazing. I recently visited this November in 2024 and the dinner was sub optimal. I ordered the chefs burger, which was undercooked/not anything or anything special. my girlfriend ordered the spaghetti carbonara, which was way to Al dente and not flavorful (which was also noted in a previous review). The service was great and so were the espresso martinis. I think we will still come back and give this place a third chance given the ambience and great service.

Tourist-frequented towns are hit or misses for me food-wise. The sheer volume of tourists and lack of restaurants can often result in quality degradation and sky high prices. Sage Leaf, a hidden gem, is one exception: dishing out delicious brunch fare at a pretty reasonable price. We ordered a few dishes to share, and all were fairly good. The mountain breakfast is ur run-of-the-mill breakfast plate; it comes with eggs, crispy bacon, and a side of potatoes with a cheddar biscuit to top it all off. You get what you expect with this one, just standard breakfast food. The biscuit would be better, hadn't it been burnt and dry on the inside. The French toast was spectacular though with the whipped cream side being just sweet enough to contrast the tart berry compote it came with. The portion was a little small -- my dad even joking that it was a "French toast for ants." I have a small appetite but even I'd have appreciated a larger portion size in lieu of the Zoolander-inspired joke. The chicken bowl was exactly what you'd want in such a healthy dish. The marinated chicken was a tad too salty, but it was fresh and tasty otherwise. I doubt you'll find much better in Incline Village. If I'm in North Tahoe, I might come again!

I ordered The burger medium rare, but the patty was mostly hard well done and some part of middle was red, the egg wasn't high quality egg because the color of the yolk wasn't bright (all the places I've been in Incline, they use low quality eggs), the fries were mostly brown and overfried, seems like house made habanero sauce was like water no flavor, my friend's pastrami sub looked better but the soup that came with it was weird lime flavor...

We were greeted by a friendly hostess and seated immediately. The restaurant is fairly small and cozy. We ordered drinks and they were so good! I wanted to eat light and opted for soup and salad. The soup was a cauliflower soup and it was yummy. My salad was excellent. My husband had the steak frites and he said they were excellent. We looked at the dessert menu but decided to finish with some after dinner drinks. My husband had the melted snowman and I had the Irish coffee. Both were excellent. We can't wait to return and come for brunch!! This restaurant will definitely be a must every time we return to Incline!

Response to the owner: First and foremost; let's get this story straight. We arrived at 5:15 sat in the bar and moved outside. Please feel free to check your cameras and you will realize your server didn't greet us for 20 minutes, didn't offer any specials.To call me a liar is quite bold seeing as you have no idea if I am local. I lived in San Diego; wow. Just to let you know; we weren't surprised that you were the owner manager, and chef. If you looked at my profile you will realize most of the bad reviews are equated to people like you- don't care about service or hospitality, rather take no accountability and blame the costumer. Funny you say that if I ordered a cheeseburger of the kids menu to go to McDonald's, as your server is the one who sold it to me and said it's much cheaper option. Also, unsure if you can't read correctly because nowhere in the review did it say we dined on Saturday. So, let me ask you. Do you know what day it is or are you so exhausted because you work 80 hours a week and clearly can't release power according to many reviews stated they also searched for management. I am the director of food and beverage at a major hotel chain so please don't question my abilities, as you have no reason. And I have every reason to question yours. We never complained about the food; the salad was really good and we were very happy. Where this meal went wrong was your staff forgetting to fire my ticket: I was at the bar and could hear you in the kitchen asking for table 6. Just curious, were we sitting at table 6? I bet so. Your lack of managerial skills truly shows as a chef/ owner of a potential amazing restaurant. Your job as an owner is to ensure your guest enjoy their meal- you did the exact opposite. Your aggressive response when you read our reviews are just direct. You refused to talk to me in person, but would rather attack me through an app. I think you're the narcissist. Cant wait to watch your business fail through your egoistical and selfish ways of running a business. Take care; best of luck. Just had the worst experience of my life here. Sat at 5:00. At 6:15 we were wondering where are food was at an hour and a half is an insane amount of time. Our server didn't great us for over 20 minutes, took 30 minutes for a salad. I asked for a manager; the hostess was very rude and off putting. The server tried to fight with me telling me I wasn't there for an hour, which is very unprofessional and I couldn't believe it, he had dark hair and a European accent. I would fire that guy immediately. I asked for a manager over and over, they said they had none. This was the worst experience I've had. Would not recommend. I am a local and professional in food and beverage and will be telling my contacts and everyone I know to stay away. We left without any food. Horrible.

Food was good. Tasty, and decent. However, for the price the service was horrible. I called three times from three different servers for napkins and some water and were given empty promises. After a while we realized that the servers basically only responded to you just to be nice but will refuse to do anything for you if they're not assigned to your table. In addition, the person who was actually serving my table, never checked in on us, looked at us, and came by after our initial orders. We felt like beggars for service. For the price it asked, I expected better. Decor was ok, definitely overpriced for what you got, there are plenty of other great spots in the area.

Fantastic locals place! Great good! Wonderfull setting. Always consistent!! Their organic salad is the best! Their maple bacon is to die for !! One suggestion........breast meat!

Excellent food! Very nice setting - had brunch and it was wonderful. Definitely will return.

Excellent restaurant with great ingredients. Located in North Tahoe. We had breakfast here FOOD 5/5: -Cauliflower soup: this reminds me of a Thai soup because of the strong coconut milk. It was good. -Bacon chipotle Benedict: sub the ham with bacon, because the bacon appears homemade. Thick slices and nice crunch. Love this entree so much. DRINK: 5/5: blood Mary: bomb, came with celery, olive & pepper! Almost like an appetizer :)
