The Best North Lake Tahoe Waterfront Dining
Posted by: Palisades Tahoe Lodge Rentals
When heading up to the slopes, it's always helpful to know the best spots to grab a bite, especially if you're in the mood for dinner with a view. Although the Olympic Valley is stunning in the winter and summer, waterfront dining at Lake Tahoe is tough to beat. Since Lake Tahoe is located so close to Palisades Tahoe Lodge Rentals, it's worth the quick 10 to 15 minute drive to experience waterfront dining while visiting the area! Check out our favorite lakefront dining spots for epic dining views, and summer sunset spots you're sure to remember!

The deck at Sunnyside Restaurant & Lodge is quintessential ‘Tahoe summer' in more ways than one. A central summer hangout, this spot can get quite busy with boaters coming in and out all day docking for food and drink. Sunnyside can be your low-key lunch spot, munching on their popular zucchini sticks that have "been a tradition since 1965," or your upscale dinner with a view, enjoying their braised beef short rib pasta. Sunnyside is not to be missed if you're looking to experience iconic Tahoe waterfront dining! Reservations are encouraged.

Family owned and operated since 1978, Jake's on The Lake claims to be the "ultimate waterfront dining experience" in North Tahoe. Situated in the heart of Tahoe City near the Tahoe Yacht Club, you'll enjoy views of Lake Tahoe and local wooden boats docked for the season. Jakes On The Lake boasts two floors, so if you don't get a chance to snag a deck reservation, there are lots of seats in the house with a beautiful view of Tahoe. If you're in the mood for spectacular views while enjoying Californian Hawaiian inspired flavors, then this is the place for you. Be sure to try their popular fried artichoke heart appetizer! Reservations are encouraged.

Beloved by locals and tourists alike, Christy Hill is the premier waterfront dining experience, especially for those looking for an upscale romantic date night. Situated just 100 feet above the Lake Tahoe shoreline, Christy Hill offers top-notch locally sourced cuisine, and unbeatable views in winter and summer. Their deck seating is smaller than Sunnyside Restaurant and Jakes On The Lake, so be sure to make reservations well in advance. Also available in the summer is Christy Hill's Sandbar, which is a laid-back food and drink outdoor spot, just steps from Lake Tahoe (only open June to September).
