    As a fan of the show, I was worried that HK might be a bit overhyped. I was wrong! The crispy skin salmon entree was wonderful and perfectly cooked. Paired with the Riesling - chef’s kiss! Though the dining room was pretty full, it was not loud and very comfortable. The service was amazing. Excellent dining experience!

    Nothing missing in this dining experience! The food was as good as the excellent view of Lake Tahoe from the second floor dining room (there are other options on the first floor and outdoor patio). Our server Michael was friendly and efficient. Just an all round amazing dinner!

    Allayjah was wonderful and provided top-tier service, an excellent example for her apprentice that shadowed her on our visit. She made great recommendations for us, digging into what our preferences were, and helping us make the right pairings in our meal. The food, as always, was amazing. We ordered the halibut and lobster risotto as well as the swordfish and mango rice for our main entrees and were delighted by both. The coconut shrimp as always was wonderful and the lava cake is a staple desert we always look forward to. Big thanks, again, to Allayjah as well as the whole Chart House team for making our 10th Anniversary dinner such a great experience.
