Fireside Pizza Company: Artisan Pies & Housemade Pasta
A piping hot pizza hits the spot after a day on the mountains, and this casual pizza parlor is an easygoing destination for dinner (and lunch!). The family-friendly hangout is known for delicious gourmet pizzas, including their signature pear and gorgonzola pizza with red onion, arugula, garlic cream sauce, and balsamic vinaigrette. There's also a Thai chicken curry pizza and a smoky BBQ chicken and bacon pie – but you'll also find classic hits like pepperoni and four-cheese pizza. Gluten-free crusts are available, and there's also a large selection of housemade pasta and salads. Save room for decadent desserts like the warm pear streusel and the brownie avalanche.

22 Bistro & Bar: Imaginative Menu with Social Plates & Killer Views
Sharable small plates make this New American restaurant a great choice with friends, although you'll also find full entrees for hungrier days. Social plates include street corn cauliflower, bison meatballs, and truffle-bacon Brussels sprouts. Our favorite is The Attic mac and cheese, an indulgent dish with jalapeno and candied cayenne bacon topped with Flamin' Hot Cheetos. You'll also find an excellent wine and cocktail list along with gorgeous views of the mountains.

Auld Dubliner: Lively Irish Pub with Contemporary Irish Cuisine
Get comfortable and relax in this local cottage pub that feels like it's straight out of the Irish countryside. Feel the spirit of the Emerald Island as you sip a pint of cold beer and enjoy warm hospitality. The menu is stacked with new twists on traditional Irish cuisine, like corned beef sliders, Guinness beef stew, and fried cheddar cheese curds. It's the place to go for whiskey aficionados, and their craft beer selection is on point.

Cornice Cantina: Mexican Cuisine & Nightlife
By day, this laid-back Mexican restaurant dishes out a variety of tacos, enchiladas, and guacamole. At night, it transforms into a busy cantina with DJ beats and dancing until the wee hours. Decent prices on food and beer make it a local favorite for casual fun in a no-frills setting. There's even a jukebox!

Graham's of Squaw Valley: Fine Dining in Historic Mountain Lodge
Savor gourmet comfort food in Squaw Valley's first family home, which was built in 1947. With a cozy rock fireplace and a wood beam ceiling, it feels like a mountain hideaway where you could linger all night. Discover an award-winning wine list (with more than 800 options!) and a menu inspired by the cuisines of France, Italy, and Spain. There's a heated outdoor tent for amazing alpine views even in the winter, plus special holiday menus – just be sure to reserve your table in advance. Try the cassoulet, a French casserole with confit of duck leg, venison sausage, stewed pork, and pancetta. Other fan favorites include the buffalo rib eye, scallop linguini, and salmon with white orange glaze – but expect an ever-changing menu that highlights the flavors of the season.

The vibe is upbeat and the decor is everything but the kitchen sink, and Squeeze In's crowd-pleasing food is the real deal. While you might stop short of ordering the peanut butter and banana omelet, the extensive and creative menu ensures that everybody will find something to love.
