Gar Woods Grill & Pier
 

Description

Since 1988 Gar Woods Grill & Pier has been the premier North Lake Tahoe waterfront dining destination. Located in Carnelian Bay, our floor to ceiling windows, large deck and balconies provide breath-taking views of Lake Tahoe and the Sierras. Gar Woods Grill & Pier is an upscale casual restaurant that accommodates groups of 160 just as easily as groups of 2. Our Chef has created a menu highlighting California cuisine, hand cut steaks and fresh Pacific seafood, served in our fun in the sun atmosphere. The wine list is a collection of California's best-known vintners featuring more than a dozen wines by the glass. Enjoy Tahoe's warm summer days sitting on our waterfront deck while sipping on a world famous Wet Woody. With nearly two million sold you'll be in good company but come early to get a seat. When visiting during the ski season thaw out in front of our three story tall river rock fireplace with a Warm Woody or a Heavenly bottom. Lake Tahoe sunsets are our specialty.

An extremely disappointing lunch. The location is hard to beat but thats about it. The service was the best part of the meal and that isnt saying much. The food? I am sure there is better food available in Tahoe ... with a view!

Too bad the Wet Woody's now come out of a slurpy machine!! The made-from-scratch rum drinks don't pack the punch (pardon the pun) they used to pack. Oh, the sweet buzz.....not so much anymore. Costs too much for super crowded space (even the restrooms!), weak drinks and tourist treatment.

The old saying "never eat in a restaurant with a view expecting to have good food" holds true here. There was nothing terrible in our over-priced meals and wine but nothing worth going back for either. The decor looks straight out of the early 1970s. Were we not guests, I would have bolted on walking in to the smell of old fried fish. The bar area looked much more attractive with a lake view and more animated scene.

Glasses, plates and flatware all had oily fingerprints on them and/or cigarette ashes. Plates were cold and MADE the food tepid. Steaks and were burnt on the outside and raw inside even though ordered them to be medium-medium rare - had to send them back and it took 15 min to get them again. View was nice. Cocktails were overly sweet. total bill for 4 was $280. go for the view not the food, service or decor.

Now that the Sunday Champagne Brunch is no longer there, the only reason to go to Gar Woods is the amazing view of the lake...that, and the Wet Woodys!!

It's view, view, view. A good wine list and consistent food quality, good service, a fun and friendly atmosphere, and the lake-front location make this our one Tahoe place we go on every visit.

Even the most blase' gourmet sometimes must have The Perfect Hamburger, and that's when at Lake Tahoe only Gar Woods will do. Their burger, washed down by a Wet Woody or two, has no equal!
