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.

Le Bistro has been our favorite Tahoe restaurant for 25 years. We just celebrated our wedding anniversary there, and had yet another fantastic dinner. We were greeted quickly, taken to a quiet booth, and received great friendly service throughout the evening. Our food was outstanding, starting with the Napolean of Ahi with wonderful flavors and textures, followed by very flavorful soups, incredibly tender steaks cooked to perfection, and the not-to-be-missed dessert plate with portions of four different desserts. Extra touches like tasty starter bites, homemade bread, and crispy and airy soufflé potatoes were included. Every aspect of our experience was top-notch. Thank you to the entire Le Bistro team for making our anniversary so enjoyable and memorable!

Fantastic dinner with extended family! The Granite Chief cocktail was refreshing and complex. Highly recommend the duck starter. The cut of the day was the bison rib-eye, which was delicious. If they have it, definitely opt for it. My dad had the pork chop, which he praised as better than what he recently had at a 1-star Michelin restaurant in the Bay Area. The catch of the day, sea bream, included Kauai prawn, mussels and delicious mushrooms. The grilled lemon cheesecake was amazing, while the chocolate mousse was shockingly too chocolately for the chocolate fans in my family. Overall, the tastiest meal in the Tahoe area we’ve had in a while. Definitely plan to come back!

We come here regularly. We request a window table and Jordan as our server, and we are obliged every time. The food has been getting even better, and Jordan is the best server in the Tahoe Basin. Very pleased with our experience.
