We went expressly for their 3 course meal tonight. It sounded yummy and it didn't disappoint. We had fritters for a starter, which were fried with seafood inside and other ingredients we couldn't identify. They were very tasty. The entree was slow cooked boneless short ribs with mashed potatoes and carrots. There was a wine demi glaze over the meat that was delicious. We finished with a vanilla mousse with candied cherry sprinkles over the top. Wonderful evening.

About the restaurant

A memorable dining experience awaits you as you enter the Christy Hill Restaurant in the center of Tahoe City. The restaurant sits on the shoreline of Lake Tahoe on an elevated embankment offering diners a panoramic vista. The intimate setting offers guests a view that is only upstaged by the cuisine, wine and service. Spectacular sunsets that can be seen from every table is just one of the many reasons that Christy Hill was voted "Most Romantic Restaurant" and "North Lake Tahoe's Iconic Restaurants with World-Class Views" by the San Francisco Chronicle.

Executive Chef, Luis Vallin, focuses on sustainability and innovation, supporting local merchants and farmers. The thoughtful and playful menu pays homage to the tradition of Christy Hill while continuing to uplift and propel the cuisine and restaurant into exciting new territory.

Realizing that we dined during shoulder season, we were very pleased with our overall experience. The staff was very attentive and we received stellar service. Many times when service is slow the staff disappears in the back. Not this staff, even though it was quite slow they made sure that we had everything we needed from beginning to end. We went with our waiter's suggestions for our entrees and neither dissapointed. Both were fresh, cooked perfect and were generously portioned. I would love to return when the restaurant is vibrant in either the winter or summer
