Gar Woods has indoor and outdoor seating with great views of the lake. They have a pier in front of the restaurant, and people often come right off the lake and into the restaurant. The food was excellent, and the service was what you'd expect from this type of nice restaurant. We enjoyed the experience very much.

What a beautiful place for lunch or dinner, overlooking Lake Tahoe! The lunch menu features a variety of salads, burgers and pastas. I particularly like the conchiglie pasta with grilled chicken, panchetta and artichoke hearts in a light cream sauce. The shrimp and lobster bisque soup is smooth and decadent -- wonderful on a chilly day. Although I have not had dinner here, the menu looks tempting, with some of the lunch pastas (including my favorite conchiglie) as well as steaks, chicken, prime rib, and fish.

My absolute favorite meal here is the Sunday brunch buffet. The selection includes California roll sushi, a great Caesar salad, omelets made to order with a variety of fillings, waffles and pancakes made to order, wonderful eggs benedict, carved-to-order roast beef, usually a pasta dish, and a glorious array of desserts including chocolate fondue with fresh strawberries. And that's not the complete list!

And by the way, a Gar Wood is a classic wooden boat, named after its designer.
