One of The Best in South Lake
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 7/1/06
Cafe Fiore is a quaint restaurant (7 tables indoors; 5 additional outdoor tablesduring the warm season) with great ambiance. The food was above average but not excellent (being from the SF Bay Area I am admittedly - and ashamedly - a food snob). The service was average. The value was average as well. BUT the wine list was extensive and amazing and at least one of the wait staff was very knowledgeable and helpful with regard to our wine selection (a 1998 Stags Leap Fay Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon - yummy!) - it clearly wasn't a Wine Spectator award winner (albeit 2004) for nothing. All said and done, we would go back. So far the other best in Tahoe that we have been to are: Evans (upscale), Rivas Grill (good food, good service, nice lake view) and Naked Fish Sushi (the ONLY good sushi in South Lake).
